Guppies 2 Groupers is built around one goal: stopping accidental drowning, not just teaching strokes.
She believes no one succeeds as an entrepreneur unless it is their passion. Hers came from joining teaching with the water.
From fighter-pilot ambitions to teaching one-year-olds to swim, she found her purpose in children.
She starts students at 12 months, younger than many parents expect.
Her legacy goal is that children carry her lessons for life: slow down, enjoy the process, and remember every problem has a solution.
Donna Lewis is the founder of Guppies 2 Groupers, a mobile swim school focused on drowning prevention that teaches students from 12 months old to adults. An educator and mother of nine, she has taught swimming since her teens.
