At just three years old, Marlee has already participated in two swim meets but her journey in the water began long before that. Growing up with summers spent at the pool and lake, her family knew early water safety was essential. After seeing the confidence and skills their son gained through swim lessons, starting Marlee as a baby was an easy decision.

What’s been most powerful isn’t just how far she’s come in the pool, but how swimming has shaped who she is outside of it. Learning to be brave in the water helped Marlee become braver in everyday life building confidence, focus, and independence. For her family, swimming has brought peace of mind and more joyful moments together, knowing their children are safe, capable, and confident around water.

Today, Johnnet is more confident than ever, both in and out of the pool.
