Gotta a Clearwater Florida Pool Home – Then You Gotta Swim!
Clearwater Pool Homes & Kids that can’t Swim Don’t Mix
Whether you have a Clearwater pool home or not if you have kids then teaching them how to swim should be a priority in the Tampa Bay area. Unfortunately drowning is the leading cause of death for children under the age of 5 in Florida.
We don’t have a pool at our home and so as life would have it our youngest son has avoided becoming a proficient swimmer – now this is hard for me to believe since I’ve been swimming since I was 2 years old and swam competitively into High School.
It just kind of happened and then before we knew it he had a “phobia” of putting his head under water. He would even voice that he thought he would drown. (it broke my heart) When I had approached taking lessons he would become hysterical and obviously terrified. I asked around to find a good swim teacher. The same name kept coming up..Mollie Brauer, owner of Making Waves Swim School.
As life would have it – several new friends moved into our Clearwater neighborhood and they all had pools at their house – so now my youngest son was being left out because he couldn’t be around these pools (with all the other kids) since he couldn’t swim. This forced me to face his fears with him and enroll him in private swim classes with Ms. Mollie. He may have been one of her toughest students yet because at his age his fears were real and hard to overcome – the first lesson he screamed for his life – she calmly and patiently engaged him – with clever activities and a even-keel disposition. She just has a calming presence (even for the nervous Mom sitting on the edge) and she encourages and motivates the kids to keep going one step further. It was truly amazing to watch.
Ok, so as far as results go – she had him putting his head underwater and beginning to swim on his second lesson. The results we absolutely amazing and the thing I appreciate most about Ms. Mollie is that she is so caring and sensitive yet firm. She never yelled just encouraged and praised his progress, while acknowledging and not just dismissing his feelings or concerns. Mollie kept working within his capabilities and building his confidence and trust. Below you will get to hear him talk about his experience in his own words (after just 6 lessons) – and trust me he tells things like they are!
I have some video of her teaching him, however, they are not loading properly but I hope the pictures will give you a sense of what it was like.
We have several private swim schools locally that just throw kids in the pool until they “just learn to swim” – while they are effective, personally, the way she connects with her students is quite impressive and was the kind of experience we wanted for our son. If you’re lucky enough to have her teach your kids – I promise you won’t be disappointed.

Largo Florida Pool Home Buyer Celebration
Yesterday was a special day. One of our clients who bought a Largo Pool home recently had a house-warming party with friends and neighbors and invited us to be a part of it.
We had worked with this family for over a year to find the perfect home. Leah Ross
, the best mortgage professional we know, also helped them with their Mortgage and did a great job and was at the party. As you can see even my 2 boys got to give the pool a test drive – they gave it two thumbs up.
Getting to share moments like these are the really special parts of our job. As we have said before, we don’t do closings – we do Celebrations. We are fortunate to build long-term relationships with our clients and they often become special friends -that is the case here.
Knowing my family would be there from the late afternoon into the evening I changed my voicemail to let anyone who called know my plans and it also allows me to focus on enjoying this get together.
My real-time voice message was something like this…
“Hello, You’ve reached Cyndee Haydon with Belloise Realty. It’s 4pm on Saturday September 9th and Jack and I will be out of the office the remainder of the day celebrating with a family we just helped purchase their dream pool home. We’ve been invited to meet their family and friends at a housewarming bar-b-que and I’m sure you can understand that due to the party I won’t be returning calls today however, I will return calls Sunday from 11am – noon except in case of an emergency.” (which there shouldn’t have been any)
Most people appreciate that I change my message daily and let them know when they can expect a return call. So this morning I got up and checked my voicemail at 9am (Sunday morning) before changing my message for the day and to my disbelief I got the following messages….
A message from 7:35am on Sunday morning from a sign call: “This is Mr Homebuyer, No I don’t get it at all and I want to see a house you have listed at xyz address and I want you to call me as soon as possible.” (In a terse and angry voice)
Another message at 8:00am on Sunday morning from Mr Homebuyer again “Just forget it, I got another agent to work with me so disregard my last message and don’t return my call – they can arrange a showing for me”
Please note the time and date – Both before 8 AM on SUNDAY!While buyers may be scarce in this market – this one thankfully moved on. It’s not like this person had called before and I hadn’t returned his call – he was calling me before electronic lockboxes are even activated daily. For a moment I felt guilty and then I thought about it and realized that…
As much as I love what I do, I also believe life is too short to work with nasty people – my friends and family don’t treat me that way – why would I let a stranger?
So if you know someone thinking of buying or selling a home in the Largo or Tampa Bay area you can feel confident knowing that as Real Estate Agents…
- We work hard for our home buyers and home sellers;
- We will treat you like we would treat our own family;
- We are available 7 days a week if needed;
- And can accommodate most requests;
But we do have a life outside of real estate though they often overlap and we do sleep nightly (though at times there are rumors to the contrary).
I hate to disappoint anyone, however, I’ve come to realize that not everyone is meant to be my client and that’s ok. At the end of the day, when I see the joy and happiness of our clients experience in their new homes I can feel comfortable listening to the phone message above and peacefully saying NEXT….
I’m curious, regardless of the business you’re in – Do you choose your clients as much as they choose you?
