Well well well… SUMMER 2026 • SEASON 11 • THAT’S A WRAP AT TURTLE SCHOOL 🐢🤍

11 summers of Beyond Buoyancy Aquatics.

What started as a little dream of mine at 21 years old in my parents’ backyard continues to grow into something I don’t think I ever could have imagined.

Every year I sit down to write this post and never quite know how to put an entire summer into words. The long days, the wet hair, the laughs, the tears, the breakthroughs, the hugs, the exhausted nights, the “WATCH ME!” moments and hundreds of little swimmers who trusted us to be part of their journey.

Summer 2026, you were SO good to us. 🥹

Last summer, Brinnleigh was our tiny baby on our hip. This summer, she was IN IT. Swimming, learning, cheering on other swimmers, giving high fives, making friends and basically believing Turtle School belongs to her. 😂🐢

Getting to raise our daughter around something John and I have poured so much of our lives into has been one of the greatest gifts.

John to put it simply there’s no BBA without you. Teaching beside me, keeping the pool running, fixing approximately 927 things 😂, helping lead our team and being the best dad to our little girl in the middle of all the chaos. Thank you for continuing to chase this crazy dream with me. 🤍

To our parents and guardians who show up RAIN & Shine - THANK YOU.

Thank you for trusting us with your babies. For sitting through the tears, trusting the process, celebrating the breakthroughs and allowing us to be part of some really incredible moments.

Eleven summers later, the mission is still the same.

Teach them to love the water.
Teach them to respect the water.
Build their confidence.
And above everything else, give them skills that could save their life.

To every family who continues to choose, support and believe in BBA
We love you more than you know.

SUMMER 2026, THAT’S A WRAP. 🐢🤍

Tara, John & Brinnleigh

OUR TEAM. 👏🏻🐢🤍

What an INCREDIBLE group of humans we were blessed with this summer.

You showed up every single day with patience, energy, encouragement and so much love for your swimmers.

You celebrated the tiny wins. You worked through the tears, fears and hard days. You knew when to pus

This is the video I want to go viral

I threw my 15-month-old into the pool to see what she would do…

Brinnleigh immediately tried to swim toward the wall. When she realized she wasn’t going to make it, she found her back on her own.

And then she waited.

20 seconds.

20 seconds floating on her back, waiting for me to come and get her.

I was honestly in shock.

She’s only 15 months old, but she’s so brave and she has worked SO hard for this.

And I think this is important to add…

This is what, conservatively, 150+ hours in the pool working with your swimmer can look like.

This didn’t happen overnight. It’s been hundreds of little moments. Repetition. Exposure. Practice. Trust. Doing the same skills over and over again until they start to become her response.

She tried to swim.
She realized she couldn’t make it.
She found her back.
And she waited for help.

At 15 months old. 🥹

THIS is why we put in the work. 🤍

Are you using the correct hold for your specific swimmer? 👀

Not every swimmer needs the same type of support!

Because he is a bottom-heavy swimmer, he naturally wants to lift his head, causing his hips and legs to sink. By transitioning my hand from an underhand to an overhand hold, I can gently guide his face forward into the water and encourage a longer, more balanced swimming position.

We’re also continuously moving from a forward swim into a back float swim, laying back with ears in the water and finding the sky.

Small changes in our hand placement can make a BIG difference in helping each swimmer find the correct body position! 💦🐢

Try this with your swimmer and let us know!

Welcome to Day 1 of 15 minute trial lessons with my 4year old friend Chase!

Getting in the pool is the hardest part with any nervous, anxious & terrified swimmers.

Working through the difficult moments is so important, we always see them through. I’m so proud of Day 1

How do you think day 2 went?

Your swimmers first line of defence should be finding air.
Learning to swim properly, with perfect technique will come in time. Let’s give our swimmers all the chance we can.

Wherever you decide to go for lessons, this should be a priority - Finding air.

I’m so proud of her.

Let’s keep teaching all kids to swim, together!
