A year-round swim space for Memphis.
Built for access, safety, and long-term impact.
What This Is
The Live. Love. Swim! Mini Nautical Center is a year-round, heated instructional swim space being developed in the Memphis area.
This space is designed to provide consistent, inclusive, and accessible swim instruction.
For children, adults, and families.
It is not a public pool.
It is a purpose-built environment for learning, confidence, and water safety.

Why This Matters
In Memphis, access to swim instruction is often limited, seasonal, and inconsistent.
Many families:
- Do not have access to private pools
- Only learn during short summer windows
- Lose progress due to gaps in instruction
- Carry fear or lack of confidence in the water
This space is being created to change that.
The Mini Nautical Center will provide:
- Year-round access
- Consistent instruction
- A calm, supportive learning environment
- A space designed specifically for teaching, not just swimming

This space prioritizes inclusion, patience, and real progress.
What This Makes Possible

Ways to Support the Mini Nautical Center
Important Note for Supporters
This project is moving forward during a season where I am also prioritizing my health and breast cancer treatment.
All donor gifts, recognition items, and experience-based perks will be fulfilled.
During this season, fulfillment of physical items, scheduled experiences, and lesson-based offerings may be delayed.
This includes items such as:
- Swim caps and branded items
- Towels and donor gift packages
- Recognition materials and installations
- Lesson-based or sponsored experiences
All items and experiences will be honored and delivered at a later time when operations are fully resumed and it is sustainable to do so.
Thank you for your patience, your support, and for being part of building something meaningful for our community.
Each level represents a way to support the Mini Nautical Center and the future of accessible swim education in Memphis.
