Casteel shares on his website, “Through my advocacy for water safety in relation to pets, I soon realized the gravity of the issue concerning water safety for children as well.” Witnessing infant swim classes and discovering the associated benefits, he recognized an opportunity to shed light on this important cause through a series of joyful and uplifting images. And that is precisely what he accomplishes.

Their captivating presence captures the imagination and evokes a sense of wonder, while simultaneously reminding us of the significance of equipping our children with essential water safety skills.
