Vinik Room – The Florida Aquarium

Since 2010, Kymbriell has dedicated her passions & voice to cultivating opportunities within the Greater Tampa Bay Area that provide accessible and affordable year-round swim lessons and aquatic experiences.

She has participated in opportunities to teach many students how to swim, coach Special Olympics, travel worldwide lifeguarding abroad on Disney Cruise Line ships, create a decorative collection of water certificates and produce an educational water safety and drowning prevention program. When not in the water, she is heavily involved with local youth-led initiatives and advocates for equal aquatic resources to serve underrepresented communities better.

Kymbriell Finch is the founder and CEO of Courageous Leap Incorporated. Through swim lessons and partnerships, Courageous Leap Inc. aims to mold confident swimmers while plugging students into experimental aquatic opportunities that will inspire and shift their perception. More than 70 percent of the world is made of water and the amount of water in the human body is nearly 75%. As students are connected to aquatic skill practices and diverse learning opportunities, they will learn to reconnect with life before fear.

Courageous Leap Inc. aspires to unite with advocates who believe that no box limits or defines what we are capable of. By partnering with local and nationwide organizations, we will collaborate to shift the mindset of our youth and communities by prioritizing self-confidence and the power of believing in oneself. The outcome will not only be individuals who are water-smart and well-equipped to survive and protect others in aquatic spaces, but our students will also have the capability to be courageous and audacious when it comes to achieving all of their desires.
