Our Story at Flying Fish
LEARN. SWIM. LIVE.
Scott and Tammy Hobson: Co-Founders
As co-founders of Flying Fish Swim School, we believe that swimming is not just a skill, it's a lifelong journey that empowers children to embrace life with confidence and resilience. Each child who steps into our pool has the potential to overcome challenges, both in and out of the water.
Our mission is to create a nurturing environment where every child can flourish, discover their abilities, and build lasting connections with water and their peers. We understand that every splash represents a step towards safety, growth, and joy. We are committed to instilling a love for swimming, encouraging fun and laughter, learning, and the thrill of achievement.
We envision a swim school where every child feels at home in the water, a place where they can express themselves freely and safely. Together, let us inspire the next generation of swimmers to dive into life with passion and purpose. Join us on this incredible journey where skills are built, friendships flourish, and confidence soars!
Passionately Building Little Characters, One Stroke at a Time
At Flying Fish Swim School, our mission is more than just teaching children how to swim; it’s about nurturing their growth and instilling essential life skills that can truly save lives.
Experience the invigorating embrace of our heated mineral pools, designed specifically to enhance the learning journey for young swimmers. Set at a soothing 32°C, these pools provide a warm and welcoming sanctuary that fosters confidence and ease. The unique properties of mineral water not only support comfort but also contribute to a nourishing environment for children's growth. As they splash and play, they develop essential swimming skills while also building self-assurance.
What truly sets Flying Fish apart is the heartfelt passion that fuels everything we do. This passion is rooted in the love and dedication of parents who understand that teaching kids to swim goes beyond fun—it’s about empowerment. We strive to provide a magical experience where each lesson is infused with joy, play, and the knowledge that these skills can change lives.
At Flying Fish, we’re not just educators; we’re mentors and champions of youth development. We aim to inspire every child who steps onto our deck, nurturing their potential and helping them build resilience, confidence, and lasting memories. Together, we create a community where every splash is a step toward a safer, brighter future.
