Why did you start this business? In 1992, Tyler Brewer saw a need left by traditional swimming instruction programs available at the time. With a teaching degree and a love for the water, he set out to create an ideal environment for learning how to swim. His plan focused on warm water, small classes, and a hands-on, personalized approach. Above all, water safety for all children was very important to Tyler. After his unexpected passing in 2013, his brother Tod and the team working with Tyler from the very beginning, stepped in to keep the Dolphin dream alive, as was Tyler’s wish. Fulfilling Tyler’s dream became their passion and to the Brewers, learning to swim is an essential life skill.
