Our Founder
I founded Swan CPR because lifesaving skills should never be limited to professionals.
After years as a Division I swimmer, coach, and ocean rescue lifeguard — and after pulling a four-year-old boy from the water — I learned how quickly emergencies unfold and how powerful it is when someone nearby knows exactly what to do.
Swan Aquatics and Swan CPR were born from that experience. My mission is simple: to bring real-world rescue training to families, schools, workplaces, and communities so more people feel confident taking action when every second counts. CPR and First Aid aren’t just certifications — they are skills that save lives, and I’m passionate about getting them into as many hands as possible.
