Every child on this map had a future.

Twenty-two Texas children have drowned so far this year. Eleven of those deaths occurred in the Houston area.

While we cannot change these tragedies, we can learn from them.

Drowning prevention is never one thing. It is layers of protection working together:

• Active adult supervision
• Barriers and secure pool fencing
• Alarms and locks
• Life jackets when appropriate
• Water competency
• Survival swim lessons

One layer may fail. Multiple layers save lives.

As summer continues, let’s work together to ensure this number does not grow.

Interested in adding another layer of protection for your child? Message me to learn more about ISR Self-Rescue® lessons and water safety education.

Working on something fun for special milestones. 3D printed a vending machine and working on printing small items for the capsules that will fill it.

First graduate of 2026!! 🎉🐢

So proud of this sweet 4-year-old for all of his hard work 💙

He is officially swim-float-swim ready just in time for summer fun with his older siblings ☀️💦

Not every child learns the same way, and watching confidence grow day by day is one of my favorite parts of what I do.

Way to go!! See you next year for refreshers!

Sometimes you have to dangle a mermaid from your face to get a good head back in a resistant toddler.

The head back, eyes open “hi mermaid” was totally worth it.
