Hello guardians of the little merpeople! If you are registered for a class you should’ve gotten your invoice now for every location EXCEPT Frederick!!! Our family is just coming up for air after passing germs around for the last 10 days so I’m spending this weekend catching up! If you are new to me, I have very few spots left!!! Please feel free to reach out at this point and I can let you know what is open! I will also be working on May dates this weekend for a “Remember how to swim” summer starter!

TODAY'S RISK | POSTED: 6/8 7:30AM
Rain showers are beginning to move into the region. We will see the rain grow in coverage throughout the day. As a low-pressure system tracks eastward, several storms will look to develop this afternoon and evening.

A Level 2 "Elevated Risk" remains in place south of D.C. The yellow outlined area has the highest chance of seeing these storms. The storms may quickly turn severe with damaging winds, flooding rain, and the potential to drop a brief tornado. Stay weather aware throughout the day and have a way to get alerts!

These life jackets are on sale in single and double packs!!! I wish the blue one was a little brighter but I LoVE the visibility factor of the pink one!! Why do you need 2?

Don’t wait, hop on this deal! Don’t let me see your kids in a puddle jumper!

I’ve had quite a few, well then what should my kid wear?! … if you must put them in something, here’s my link recommendation for a USCG vest that puts them in the correct position on their front/back, does not restrict arm movement to create Trex muscle memory, has zippers AND buckles, crotch strap and is high visibility!!!

Look to AIRHEAD for the best quality flotation vests your money can buy. Designed for the active lifestyle, with deep necklines and extra large armholes for mobility and comfort. All are subject to strict UL, ULC or CE inspections. ULC vests conform to Canadian Coast Guard requirements and are DO...

This!!! Please read this…. I preach this every year… if you have littles and they are in the water, YOU are in the water! I hate puddle jumpers and I will not filter my opinion on them to make you feel better about using one! As I tell my son, don’t do dumb things!!!
