Thank you Rebbeca,
It's all about making a difference in their lives. The families with Autistic children need something that they can feel their is a spark inside of them, they may achieve at doing something. Water gives them that outlet in life. I hope to spread the word and educate more people that they can do it. Keep in touch, always wanting to communicate with others that make a difference such as yourself.
Great video Rebecca!

Rebecca, A bit about us. On the personal side... I am a single father of four girls, I work for the Dept. of Defense as an instructor (we all do actually). Our main focus is combat water survival for the Navy, we also work with the Navy SEAL SPECWAR candidates. Jody is my Vice President who presently is an active duty 23 yr. Navy SEAL, who has been awarded the Silver star w/ Valor in combat as well as two Bonze stars. He is a father who tragically lost his 15 yr. old special needs daughter last year. Jody's main focus is our mentorship program, he recently finished a program in Cincianatti for Proctor n Gamble in this capacity. Chis Thompson won the Bronze Medal in the Sydney Olympics for swimming, he presently works as a contractor for the government. Don Sanderlin has a masters Degree in Education, was an Olympic trial swimmer and also is an insructor for the Navy. Both work in our program developement and management. We have a passion for what we do and want to leave the Govt. and focus on our Organization 100%. So right now that is what I am focusing on. I'd love to discuss what we do more in depth, and look forward to hearing from you. Right now I am going to cut down a chistmas tree with my girls... :o) It's truely my pleasure to have met you.
