The location is owned by Ekene and Rosaline Ogbechie, former oil and gas professionals who previously worked as a subsea engineer and accountant. While living in Scotland, the couple learned that drowning is a leading cause of death in Nigeria and used their life savings to open Nigeria's first heated indoor swim academy in 2022. After relocating to the United States, they partnered with Water Wings to bring year-round swim instruction to Mansfield-Arlington South, with plans to open 10 swim schools over the next 10 years, including future locations in Africa.
