Meet the SafeSplash Newington Team

Mrutunjay, Owner

I’ve always been passionate about sports! Swimming, in particular, is very close to my heart. I spent all my summers as a kid in the water with my siblings while my dad taught us to swim. It left me with very fond memories; I wanted to create those same memories with my son.

When it was time for him to start learning, we faced a lot of challenges because he was afraid of water. We spent a long time exploring different options until we finally found a teacher who understood him, and she helped him blossom into the swimmer he is today. He went on to absolutely love the water and swam competitively until college.

I want to be able to give back to my community, and allow them to foster the same memories that swimming created for me and my son. I saw firsthand how difficult it can be to find swimming lessons that are both effective and engaging. That’s why I decided to open up this school - not only will it give jobs to those passionate teachers, it will enable people of all ages to take that first step on their swimming journey.

I am truly looking forward to working with you all! I can’t wait to help people learn this important life skill and help them make memories!
