Good morning, Texoma community!

☀️We heard you!
After the closure of the Waterloo pool, many of you reached out looking for aqua aerobics classes. We know how vital this exercise is for both your health and staying connected with friends, so we are excited to step in and help.

Starting September 2, we are opening a community aqua aerobics class! We will keep it going as long as the weather permits.
While our pool is heated, classes will be subject to cancellation if it rains or storms.
📅 Schedule: Wednesdays & Thursdays | 8:30 AM – 9:20 AM
💰 Cost: $15 per class OR $75 for a 5-class pass
👥 Class Size: Minimum 3 participants required to start; maximum of 6 per class.
Spots are limited to keep classes small and personalized.

When I’m not in the pool, I’m talking about why we do what we do in the pool. 🎙️

Episode 8 of Discussions from the Deep End: A Podcast For Aquatic Professionals By Aquatic Professionals is officially out today, and we're talking with Christy Baca of Texoma Swim Academy about what it really takes to support swimmers with unique learning needs — and how instructors can build trust, confidence, and meaningful progress in the water.

Christy is a 2026 AOAP Power Speaker, aquatics educator, and Texas A&M graduate whose background in special education shapes every part of her approach to swim instruction. Christy shares how she uses TBRI (Trust‑Based Relational Intervention) to create connection‑driven, empowering lessons for swimmers experiencing anxiety, ADHD, sensory processing differences, trauma, and other challenges.

The episode wraps with a lightning round full of quick, actionable insights for instructors who want to better support nervous swimmers, strengthen lesson structure, and rethink misconceptions about adaptive instruction.
If you’re an aquatic professional looking to build safer, stronger, more responsive programs, this conversation delivers practical tools, thoughtful perspective, and a whole lot of heart.

Trust and Connect ✨
Turning water activities into play—like a student freely pouring water over their own head—or their instructors head 💦Transforms intimidating moments into milestones. This playful autonomy helps kids discover that they can manage and control the water, building self-reliance that can progress into water competency. 🏊🏻‍♂️

Lifejackets at swim lessons? 🤷‍♀️
It’s a thing! ✨
It’s a great thing. 💙
We use them to help some of our students with sensory overload, ASD or other things feel the properties of the water while working on motor planning and other skills that lead to progression out of the lifejacket. 💦
