Our Mission Statement

Our goal is to bring water awareness and safe practices to our students with a mission to preserve the lives of as many young children and adults as possible.

Our desire is to educate the community from 6 months to 100 years of age about the importance of water safety and the benefits of an aquatic lifestyle.

Our focus is to provide an environment that promotes safe swimming which requires knowledge of safety practices, breathing techniques, and proper use of one’s muscular structure.

Our aim is to share and educate Manta’s knowledge and respect for the water with the community.

Whether you have an infant that needs Survival Swim Lessons or an adult that never learned to swim, we are here to help our students feel comfortable and confident in the water.
