Courtney Kline, Owner

Courtney grew up at the pool and competed from age 5. When she fell out of a raft into a rapids, got wiped out by a wave or found herself in open water triathlon swims she was out of her comfort zone. Looking at statistics of 74% of drownings happening in open water over the age of 5, she was inspired to create a program that bridged the gap between the pool and open water.

“When I was flailing in the waves my beautiful butterfly or amazing streamline didn’t help me. I had a false sense of security.” 

She has taken extensive experience in technical swim coaching, aquatic therapy and rehabilitation combining it with a passion to impact drowning and water safety. Courtney has been sought after nationally to speak and train her Lifesaving Learn to Swim curriculum at conferences such as National Water Safety, ASCA World Clinic, Various States Parks and Rec Conferences coordinating with West Virginia University in their undergraduate program.

The Facility

Our state of the art facility includes 27’x12’x4’ pool. The small size allows for individual attention and safety.

The water is kept at 90-92 degrees and can be adjusted depending on our needs.

The powerful yet variable Flow-head generates a current that we utilize for everything from therapy and training to creating open water scenarios for our lifesaving learn to swim program.

The atmosphere is calm and inviting, making us great for events that cater to kids and adults alike. No glass walls to separate parents getting the same valuable information as the kids.
