History

Established in 2007.

I started out wanting my own children to be safe in and around the water. As our neighbors, and friends began using our pool, I began teaching everyone how to swim. Once I started teaching neighbor A’s cousins neighbors friend, I decided I should make this official.

Currently we have 2 instructors, and I coach year-​round for a local USA swim team.
