Ben was a lifeguard and lifeguard instructor for 10 years. He’s been working and volunteering with kids for the past 14 years, whether at summer camps in Texas or at church in the kids ministry. He and his wife, Casey, have two kids of their own – Abner, 7, and Ellory, 6 – who love to swim. For Ben and his family, Water = Fun! That could be a pool, lake, river or ocean.
He hopes to teach kids that swimming can be safe and fun and that they are capable of being in control while swimming. He wants each kid to feel proud of what they’ve learned on their journey to becoming a better swimmer. Fun fact: Ben and Casey are both Baylor grads and love exploring Waco. When they’re not in the pool, you can find them at parks, local restaurants and community events.
From a parent:
"Mr. Ben was VERY patient and great with all of the kids too, knowing them by name."
