Hold up… what?!
I’m certain I am about to shock a few when I say.. I’m adopted from China.

In fact, that picture of me is in China. My life could look a lot different and I am so blessed to be here, doing what I do, and to top it off I get to call it mine?! MY business?!

Couldn’t have it without you- thank you for supporting me & my family 🩵

Just checking in… 👀

One of the biggest goals during survival swim lessons is building correct muscle memory through consistent repetition.

When children go back to floaties or other flotation aids, they’re often practicing a completely different body position and movement pattern. That means they’re rehearsing skills that don’t match what they’ve worked so hard to learn during lessons. We want them to trust their own skills—with close adult supervision always within arm’s reach.

The more they practice the right movements, the stronger those life-saving responses become.

Keep building on their progress. Trust the process. Trust their skills 🩵

🌟 SWIM RAY SPOTLIGHT 🌟

I decided to start a new series highlighting some of our swimmers, their “why’s”, and their progress! I hope sharing these stories makes these lessons feel personal because Survival Swim Rays wants nothing more than to make you feel like part of our family 🩵

Meet Jax! 💙

Jax is one of our amazing Survival Swim Rays, and we’re honored to be part of his unique journey in the water. As a child on the autism spectrum with Level 3 support needs, Jax learns and experiences the world in his own special way.

Many children on the autism spectrum are naturally drawn to water, which makes water safety education especially important. For families, learning how to safely navigate the water isn’t just another skill — it can be a critical layer of protection.

At Survival Swim Rays, we believe every child is capable of learning life-saving water safety skills. We also believe every child deserves to be taught in a way that honors how they learn, communicate, and experience the world.

For Jax, that means building trust, confidence, body awareness, and essential survival skills while meeting him where he is and celebrating every step forward.

We celebrate the big milestones, but we also celebrate the little moments — showing up, trying something new, building trust, and discovering what he is capable of 🩵

We’re so proud to have Jax as part of our Swim Ray family 🤗

Every swimmer has a story. This is Jax’s.

Kinda chic teaching life-saving skills 🤍

Trends come and go, but water safety never goes out of style.

Every float, every rollover, every lesson is building confidence, independence, and skills that could one day save a life.

✨ Water safety is always in style.

Our hearts go out to this family during this tragedy 🩵🩵 another one way too close to home. Though, they all hit close to the heart! But this is happening right in our communities and often times we don’t even know it.

It doesn’t have to be a pool.
It can be a pond. A bath tub. A cooler.

The 5-year-old boy reported missing this morning has been found deceased in a pond near his home.
One of the parents woke up around 9 a.m. and discovered a hole in the back screen. After searching the home and the surrounding area and being unable to locate the child, the parent called 911 at 9:31 a.m. to report him missing.
"There are no words that can ease the pain of losing a child. Today, our entire Sheriff's Office family grieves alongside this family. Every deputy and detective who responded did so with the goal to bring this little boy home safely," said Sheriff Chad Chronister. "I am incredibly proud of how quickly our agency responded, but my heart breaks that the outcome wasn't what we all prayed for."
The investigation remains active. More information: https://teamhcso.pulse.ly/nq0pyhsebr
