owner teaching child to swim

Bonnie Cannon – Founder/Swim Instructor

Hello, my name is Bonnie Cannon and I’m the proud founder and owner of Life Saver Survival Swim School. My husband, children, and I live in Houston, Texas. I am a wife of 30 years and proud mother of four wonderful children. Here is my story:

“I have been a certified swim instructor since 2006 and have taught thousands of children, throughout Texas and Florida, independent swimming and floating skills. Being an instructor and helping children through their aquatic journeys has been the most fulfilling experience of my life. Before training to be an instructor, I owned and operated “Mrs. B’s Childcare and Pre-School”.

In the winter of 2002, my son, Alexander, nearly drowned while visiting a relative who had a pool. He was two years old and it happened so unbelievably fast. In the few seconds it took me to run to the pool, Alexander’s body had sunk to the bottom. It didn’t even look like he was fighting so my husband jumped in the frigid water to save him. Although he had only been submerged for a few seconds, I couldn’t believe how much water he’d ingested. The incident set me on my path to teaching children how to help themselves if they were ever faced with an aquatic situation alone.

I obtained my official swim instructor training in Orange City, Florida in 2006. After teaching there for two years, I started training in Houston, Texas. There was such a demand in Houston for this unique style of teaching. My family and I sold our Florida home and moved to Texas in 2009. Since moving to Houston, I have been able to teach hundreds of children, and educate the community, about the importance of aquatic safety and layers of protection for your children.”

He joined my efforts in 2009 to do everything we can to make owning a home swimming pool as safe as possible for our children!

Warm regards,
