He \u200bis passionate about guiding young people to a successful future\u200b. \u200b Before BSS, \u200bTapanee was working in the financial services industry for 12 years and was searching for something \u200bmore meaningful to do for\u200b quite some time\u200b. Inspired by her husband, she searched high and low for something to do that makes a difference. Something that she is proud of. \u200b\u200bThen she found British Swim School\u200b.<\/p>\n<p>The Thompsons\u00a0found the Chelmsford area to be beautiful\u00a0and felt the schools\u00a0would be a\u00a0fantastic fit for their kids. So they, moved here about 2 years ago.\u00a0It&#8217;s a great\u00a0bonus also,\u00a0how close it is now to travel to see their family and friends in VT and NY.<\/p>\n<h3>\u200bWhy They Chose British Swim School<\/h3>\n<p>The aim of British Swim School \u200bis to save lives\u200b, teaching water survival and swimming proficiency skills from infants all the way up to adults. \u200bSince both of them love to swim- Andy in Lake Bomoseen, VT and Tapanee in the nearest lap pool, British Swim School was a perfect fit.\u00a0\u00a0 \u200bAdd to this the fact that they are the proud parents of two wonderful children under the age of 4, the connection to the mission of BSS was immediate. To have a hand in giving just one child the skills to survive an accidental fall-in was exactly the kind of meaningfulness Tapanee was looking for. Diligent research of other local swim programs revealed that no other company was providing the level of quality of instruction to swimmers, training to its employees, or overall service to its customers. Tapanee knew she found her new mission, and together with her husband, has never looked back!<\/p>\n<p>Aside from running a business they love and believe in, the Thompsons love spending their free time with their children, sharing with them their love for international travel, the outdoors, music and art. This time of the year, their favorite things to do are skiing and snowshoeing. They are also looking to get another dog this year!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meet Andy\u00a0&amp; Tapanee Thompson Franchise Owners of British Swim School of Greater Boston Introducing \u200bthe Thompsons!
