One with the Water

1. Increase Student Outreach - We must continue to develop a consistent outreach program to interest new students. We wish to grow enough to provide free swimming lessons to patients ages 6-18 living with special needs.

2. Increase Brand Equity and Visibility - Develop specific parent and student driven marketing initiatives to give them a more specialized service experience.

3. Develop Long-term Partnerships - Reach out to engage in joint venture agreements with those (partners, we want to be the subcontractor of choice to provide swimming lessons) via phone, e-mail and through social media marketing efforts.

4. Technology Integration - In order to become a leader in our industry, we need to be agile and able to share our internal knowledge and information.

In order to become a leader in our industry, we need to be agile and able to share our internal knowledge and information. This means understanding the progression of each of our students and prospective students from initial interaction through to graduation. We will be a paperless organization and our databases will be accessible to instructors, parents, and students who want to know how the student is progressing. Our ability to assess student need and prescribe customized training solutions stems from our ability to share information.
