About Us
Teaching kids to be heroes in and around water — through safety, story, and play.
Empowering Water Safety for Every Child
We're on a mission to ensure every child knows they are capable, confident, and safe around water. Our story began with a single goal—to turn learning into play and every swimmer into a hero.
Creating the Next Wave of Water-Smart Leaders
Through immersive education, character-driven storytelling, and real-world safety skills, we inspire kids to make smart choices in and around water.
Partnering with Families, Schools, and Communities
We believe water safety is a shared effort. Our programs are built to support parents, teachers, and local leaders as we raise awareness and build lifelong habits—one splash at a time.
