Miren Oca, founder of Ocaquatics, shares her journey from opening a small swim school at 22 to leading a purpose-driven business that’s making waves in water safety, employee empowerment, and environmental responsibility. With swim lessons proven to reduce drowning risk by 88%, Oca Aquatics has delivered essential life skills to families across South Florida for over 30 years.
As the world’s first B Corp certified swim school and a 100% employee-owned company through an Employee Ownership Trust, Ocaquatics proves that business can be a powerful force for good. Miren reveals how a foundation of financial literacy, open book management, and values-based leadership created lasting impact—for employees, customers, communities, and the planet.
