Hello

Welcome to the virtual Pool Chats with TAP and their partner

What are Pool Chats? the "TAP" staff will have a conversation with their partners and affiliates to discuss their operations and goals. We are the Aquatic Advocates for facilities and professionals who work in the aquatic industry.






About Virtual Pool Chats

The Aquatic advocates for aquatic centers & Aquatic professionals (about the interviewers)

Kent Nelson traveled with his swim coaching parents at a noticeably early age.  Since he was an 8 & under, he considered himself one of the "on deck coaches". Stopwatch and clipboard in hand and he would stand next to his Mom and Dad, coaches of the Nelson's Turtles Swim Team. Today he stands next to his parents to carry out their vision of designing, developing, and delivering functional and sustainable aquatic facilities as well as providing assistance in designing, developing and delivering water (swim and fitness ) programs for all sizes of aquatic facilities. 


TAP works with many different aquatic professionals to meet the needs of a sustainable aquatic facility. It takes all diverse types of aquatic professionals working together to develop programs for the community's safety, health, and wellness.  


Learn what your staff needs to know to keep the members engaged in swimming and vertical exercise.

West Virginia University Lori Sherlock When Lori Sherlock, Associate Professor, Aquatic Therapy Coor

 When Lori Sherlock, a native of Morgantown, West Virginia, began her studies in college, she was interested in environmental sciences.  By luck, she discovered aquatic therapy, and that paved the way for a remarkable turnaround in her journey. She earned her bachelor and master’s degree in Exercise Physiology at WVU, followed by a doctorate in Curriculum and Instruction with an emphasis in Exercise Physiology. 


Total Aquatic Programming has been lucky to be able to part of Lori's aquatic journey. She has shared her knowledge with many of our clients who want to know more about Aquatic Therapy as well as Aquatic Exercise.  If you would have questions for Lori please email Total Aquatic Programming, sue@totalprogramming.org  and we will set up the introduction. 

Stop Drowning Now Jim Spiers


Jim Spiers, President of Stop Drowning Now and Owner of Swim Jim Swimming Lessons 


SDN was founded by a group of educators who believe that drowning can be prevented. We believe that awareness, skills, knowledge and practice can help parents and kids realize the risks they face, learn how to protect themselves and react effectively if an emergency happens. 


Total Aquatic Programming believes if you are going to get anything done you need to partner with others who have the same mission. SDN and TAP continue to grow by helping each other. You can either contact TAP sue@totalaquatic.llc or contact SDN info@stopdrowningnow.org
