Our philosophy of teaching is simple. We do not ‘force’ children to learn. We teach water safety by creating a trusting and caring relationship with your child.

History

Established in 2009.

My husband Bryan and I provide a unique variety of services in our community and in the communities that surround us.

We fell in love with South Central Florida and we were very fortunate to have found the perfect home in Hobe Sound. As we get to know more of our neighbors and as we become more familiar with our community, we realize more and more how blessed our lives continue to become.

We are members of the Hobe Sound Chamber of Commerce, the Hobe Sound Rotary, Josh-​the-​Otter Program, and The Make A Splash Foundation. We hope to become even more active in our community in the coming years. And we encourage anyone in business to join their local Chamber of Commerce because they also will receive the advice, encouragement and support from their community they will need to be successful in their business.

Bryan nicknamed his wife ‘Gills,’ a play on her maiden name and swimming ability. From age 4 through college Christina was a competitive swimmer and has been a swim instructor since she was 15. Christina and Bryan delivered Brandon in April 2012 — already a great swimmer!
