Several people have asked me to go live and explain the courses available inside my SKOOL community, so tonight we’re doing exactly that. Join me at 8:30 PM Eastern / 7:30 PM Central for a live walkthrough and Q&A. All of the courses currently available here to the SKOOL community are free, but I don’t think enough members realize what is there or how to use it. I’ll show you where to find everything, explain what each course covers, and answer your questions live. Come prepared to ask questions, explore the resources, and make better use of the training already available to you. Tonight at 8:30 PM ET inside SKOOL.

https://youtu.be/ZhUJV39KQgU Wes and I just recorded a new podcast episode with all the details for the second annual All Things Aquatics in Houston. We talked about the University of Houston location, the Friday night Lifeguard Games, the aquatic leaders joining us, the products and companies attending, and what makes this year’s event different. Take a look, check it out, and get your tickets before the event fills up.

Last night’s Q&A was so valuable that we’re doing it again. Now I want your input. What would you like our next live to focus on?

Last night, I hosted the very first live Q&A inside the Navigating Neva community with Selena Willows, and it turned into exactly the kind of conversation I hoped this community would create. There was no script. No presentation. No recording. Just aquatic professionals having the conversations we do not usually have—the emotional side of teaching, self-regulation, supporting students through fear, navigating difficult moments, sharing experiences, and learning from one another. The best part was that no one person had to have all the answers. Everyone brought a different perspective, and together we talked through the real-life situations that rarely make it into certification courses or training manuals. Selena enjoyed the conversation so much that afterward, she agreed to come back and do another live Q&A. We are already looking at making these a regular part of the Navigating Neva community. These are the conversations that help us become better instructors, stronger leaders, and more thoughtful aquatic professionals. Sometimes the most valuable learning happens when the cameras are off.

This Monday night, we’re joined live by Selena Willows, founder of Swim to Safety and creator of the 100-minute swim guarantee. If you’ve been following our series or have listened to any of Selena’s episodes on Navigating Neva, this is your opportunity to join us live and ask your questions. Haven’t listened yet? There’s still time to catch a few episodes before Monday. Selena brings decades of experience, practical teaching strategies, and a thoughtful perspective on helping children become safer and more confident in the water. Whether you’re a swim instructor, parent, aquatic professional, or simply passionate about water safety, we’d love to have you there. If you can’t make it but know someone who would benefit from the conversation, please share this post with them. We hope to see you Monday night!
