Jackie and I moved to Spokane in 1994 to be near family and to raise our three children in the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. We are both Physical Therapists but with differing specialties; Jackie’s in pediatrics and mine in orthopedics and aquatics.

Now, as we approach the end of our careers, we want to continue to be involved in the community by providing a valuable community service – water safety and swimming instruction.

​

We both grew up being ‘pool kids.’ I became a competitive swimmer, lifeguard and swimming instructor. Jackie enjoyed swim team and diving. Like many in the Northwest, we also became lake enthusiasts as Spokane has 76 nearby lakes.

​

This ease of access to recreational water is fantastic, but it also poses a potential danger. Our goal is to teach children and adults the principles of water safety and skills to become safe and confident swimmers.
