An Advocate for Water Safety, Committed to Expanding Access to Life-saving Swim Education.
Aquatics & Education was founded in 2022 by Brooke Bothun, a lifelong swimmer, educator, and dedicated drowning prevention advocate who was born and raised in Florida. Growing up surrounded by Florida’s waterways, Brooke developed an early appreciation for the importance of water safety and the critical role swimming plays in protecting children and families. With this mission in mind, she established Aquatics & Education to provide community-centered swim instruction and expand access to life-saving water safety education throughout Brevard County. Since its founding, the swim school has grown through strong partnerships with schools, public safety agencies, health organizations, and community programs dedicated to protecting children around water.
