For over 30 years, the Suncoast WaterWorks Synchronized Swimming Team has been providing a worthwhile experience for swimmers and parents in Pinellas County. Founded by Karen Paulk in 1985, the program has grown into one of the premier clubs in Florida, consistently producing nationally ranked swimmers. This year-round competitive synchronized swimming program is made up of swimmers from all over the Tampa Bay area. Thanks to the commitment of the coaches, swimmers, and parents, SWW has a multi-level program that has achieved success for novices, intermediates, and experts alike. Karen Paulk’s influence continues to be felt in the program, even after her retirement. She now mentors coaches and swimmers, helping the team to reach even higher levels of excellence. SWW is proud of its history of success and looks forward to continuing to offer outstanding synchronized swimming experiences to the Tampa Bay community.

Pinot’s Palette has become the leader in the paint and sip industry. Pinot’s Palette opened its doors in May of 2009 in an intimate studio in the Montrose neighborhood of Houston, TX. With the goal of providing an evening of creativity and relaxation through wine and painting classes just three nights a week, the concept quickly gained traction. The success of this budding enterprise led to the opening of locations all over the U.S. and internationally, establishing Pinot’s Palette as the premier paint and sip franchise. We are proud to offer a relaxed atmosphere for painting and socializing for every level of artist.
