Meet Kathleen and Bruce McMordie

Kathleen and Bruce are both members of Survival Swim Association, National Drowning Prevention Alliance, and the United States Swim School Association. Just 10 years ago, Texas Swim Academy started off as just a home-based program with Kathleen and Bruce holding Katy students’ swim lessons in their own backyard. In 2012, they worked tirelessly and diligently to open a new year-round facility that would not only give them the space they needed, but the ability to teach swimming lessons in the coolers spring and fall seasons. Kathleen and Bruce’s passion for water safety is the driving force in all they do. After years of teaching children to swim in their own backyard pool, they feel very fortunate to have a facility that enables to share valuable water survival skills. “Our passion is instilling valuable water safety and life-saving skills to the next generation and serving the Houston and Katy communities. And we’re delighted to be awarded with such a distinguished honor,”

Kathleen and Bruce will be honored this year, along with other SBA award recipients at the Houston District Small Business Awards Luncheon sponsored by SCORE Houston on June 12, 2014 at the JW Marriot. To read the full press release, click here.
