From the tranquil shores of Michigan’s Great Lakes to the sun-kissed waters of Florida, Molly’s journey is a testament to her unwavering commitment to water safety and her passion for empowering the youngest among us with the skills to survive.

Early Life Born and raised in Michigan, Molly was no stranger to the omnipresent bodies of water that define the state’s landscape. It was here that she first understood the vital importance of water safety, a realization that would shape her life’s mission.

A Calling in Water Safety Moving to Florida, a state equally defined by its aquatic surroundings, Molly’s resolve only strengthened. As a mother, the urgency of teaching her children how to navigate and survive potential water accidents became paramount. This personal mission led her to the doors of Master Instructor Ginger Blackman, whose expertise and success stories with children, including Molly’s own daughters, inspired her to delve deeper into the world of survival swim instruction.

Teaching Philosophy Molly’s approach is rooted in compassion and adaptability. She offers lessons from her heated salt pool in Port St. John, creating a warm and inviting environment for learning. Her willingness to travel to students’ homes reflects her dedication to accessibility and personalized instruction.

Maintenance Lessons

All Ages

After your child has learned to swim and float independently, skill maintenance is crucial! As your child grows and develops, skills need to be fine-tuned and swimming ability should be constantly developed.

Maintenance classes can be scheduled anywhere from once or twice per week to once or twice per month, as needed.

Refresher Lessons

All Ages

If your child has not had the opportunity to practice regularly, skills have regressed or you notice bad habits, it’s time for a refresher!

These classes are scheduled as needed, typically at least once or twice per year.
