Who we are

With over 25 years of experience teaching infants, children, and adults, Stacy Crockett is the co-owner of our program. Her expertise in water safety and play-based swim curricula makes our lessons both engaging and effective, ensuring swimmers are safe and comfortable.

Stacy’s background in early childhood education and child and family studies, with a focus on youth work, enhances her ability to connect with swimmers and tailor lessons to their current needs.
