Jenna is also an Event Director and National Safety Liaison for Swim Across America, who funds cancer research, clinical trials, and patient programs by hosting charity swims all over the US.

Every day, she is dedicated to keeping her waterpark team and guests safe so that she can pass on the life-long love of water to future generations.

Bonney Maurer | Region 6 Representative

E-mail: bemmaurer@yahoo.com
My introduction to the aquatics field was in March of 1995 when I started out as a gate attendant and concessions clerk at our neighborhood homeowner’s association after being recruited from my high school’s swim team. From my first encounter working at swimming pools I have been committed to working in the aquatics industry and furthering my education and standing in the aquatics field. I have been fortunate enough to work at a variety of facilities in a number of locations, partly with thanks to a military parent. I hold many current certifications pertaining to aquatics, and belong to a variety of professional groups. My enthusiasm for work is partially due to work ethic, and the enjoyment of teaching and teambuilding, and partly for continuation of aquatic traditions and programs like those I personally have enjoyed through my lifetime. Currently I am employed at Port Royal Ocean Resort, and the City of Port Aransas in the Coastal Bend Area.
