It’s been a full few weeks between open water swims and podcast episodes, with one more swim ahead of me on October 3rd, and in the middle of it all, I realized I haven’t talked much about what I actually do day to day.

At Natalie Hood & Associates, I help aquatic organizations navigate regulatory and certification challenges, plan and run large-scale events, and train the next generation of aquatics professionals. After 25+ years in this industry, it’s become less about any one skill and more about being someone people can call when things get complicated.

And with the season winding down and travel starting to ramp up, you might be feeling a little stretched thin, whether that’s running your own events or figuring out which ones are actually worth your team’s time and budget. If any of that sounds familiar, I’m always happy to talk it through.

And since it’s about that time of year: is there a myth you keep hearing on repeat this season, whether it’s about closing procedures, off-season maintenance, or anything else? Drop it below or send me a DM, who knows, we might end up busting it together on an upcoming episode.
