THOMAS'S STORY

 

I’ve spent my entire life swimming. It started at a young age, as I was fortunate to grow up with a backyard pool. Over the years, I was able to learn all four strokes and developed a genuine love for being in the water. That passion eventually led me to being the MVP on my high school swim team and eventually led me to earn my National Lifeguard and Swim Instructor certification. I spent a couple years working as a lifeguard and swim instructor at my local pool.

Eventually, I moved on to pursue my bachelor's degree in engineering. Although school and work kept me busy, I never stopped swimming. In fact, as life became more demanding, I began to appreciate swimming in a completely different way.

I started to realize how important health and wellness, not only for physical fitness but for mental well-being as well. Swimming became one of the most effective ways for me to slow down, relax, and stay grounded. 

Over time, I realized that swimming doesn't have to be about becoming the fastest swimmer in the pool or competing at an elite level. It can simply be a tool to help you feel better, move better, and become more comfortable in your own body.

That's why I created this platform. I want to make swimming more approachable for everyday people, whether you are learning how to swim for the first time or trying to become more comfortable in the water, or simply looking for a better way to stay active and take care of yourself.

I want to help others get into swimming because it is an amazing way to exercise and is a mandatory life skill that will help protect yourself and your loved ones. Swimming can open doors to many unique once in a life time opportunities. Follow along to get started in your swimming journey!
