Epic day diving the Wreck of the Bonaire in West Palm Beach, Florida with Open Water Adventures! 🦈 Our group had incredible encounters with Goliath grouper, Silky sharks, Sandbar sharks, and Nurse sharks cruising the wreck. This is what Florida wreck diving is all about—adrenaline, adventure, and unforgettable marine life. Who’s ready for the next dive? Huge thanks to the Emerald Crew at Valor Charters!

☀️Memorial Day weekend = POOLS OPEN!! ☀️
•
It’s that glorious time of year when we can all get some sun and enjoy the water! In recognition of National Water Safety month, please check out these tips:
•
💦Designate a WATER WATCHER. Put the phone down, take turns, someone needs to be actively observing for safety even if there is a lifeguard. SO many drownings and accidents happens in private pools where people let their guard down.
•
💦An adult should be within ARMS LENGTH of non-swimmers. Puddle jumpers and lifejackets are not substitutes for supervision! Plus they give a false sense of security AND they build poor muscle memory putting kids in a vertical position making it harder for them to learn to swim in the long run.
•
💦Make a ROUTINE for littles. Have them practice asking you before they get in and do the same things EVERY TIME before they get in to any water.
•
💦PHYSICAL BARRIERS save lives! Fence your pool, lock the doors. Get a water alarm system for your home. 81% of fatal drownings happen at home.
•
💦Get certified in CPR. Bystanders are often the first responders to an emergency! Taking a simple class is worth it for your family’s safety. Early action can prevent a drowning event from becoming fatal.
•
💦LEARN TO SWIM!!! For your kids, for yourself! It’s never too late and we have openings NOW!! Don’t put off this important life skill.
•
💦HAVE A PLAN. Know where the safety flotation devices are at any pool or water location. Teach your kids how to call 911 and recognize an AED. Be prepared!
•
Enjoy our video of our recent Water Safety Week! All of our swim lesson kiddos learned what drowning looks like, how they can reach or throw something to a person in danger but never go after them on their own. They also learned what it’s like to fall in the water with all their clothes on, no goggles, and had to get themselves out or float. Lastly they were able to explore the safety equipment we keep on deck.
•
☀️Have a SAFE and FUN Memorial Day weekend with family and friends! Enjoy the water!!☀️

Local friends!! Any moms looking for a part time job?
💦
OR if you have a teen or college kid who worked at an outdoor pool for the summer and wants to continue at an indoor pool after Labor Day- I NEED THEM.
💦
OWA Swim School (near the Speedway) is looking for a few more swim teachers who want shifts during school hours, once or twice a week, 9:30am-1:30pm- perfect for a mom who wants a sweet little side gig where you can earn some $$ and make a difference in the lives of others. 😊
💦
Saturday mornings and weekday evenings 4-8pm are also available if you want to mix it up. Days are flexible to choose what works best for YOU.
💦
All training provided in-house by yours truly. 😁👍🏼 We’re especially hoping for people who would like to be trained on teaching adult and baby classes in addition to the regular kids. Seriously- one of the best parts of my job is seeing a grown adult learn they can actually float and move in the water after waiting 30 40 or 50 years+ to even try! 🏊🏼‍♀️🏊🏾
