About
Aquapups was founded by Sam Hinton, whose lifelong love of the water began as a competitive swimmer and evolved into a passion for helping others feel confident and capable in the pool. From lifeguarding and teaching swimming at just 16, to competing in triathlons and open water events, Sam’s journey has always led back to the water. After an 18 year career in the police force and raising a family, she returned to her true calling, teaching swimming.
