Let Jim
Hazen consult with you on how to succeed swimmingly!
BIO: Jim Hazen graduated
from Merrimack College in 1974 with a Bachelor's Degree in Finance.
After graduation he worked in the retail and sales industry until
1984 when he opened the first Saf-T-Swim School in Bay Shore, N.Y.

year of business, owns a total of eight swim schools throughout
Nassau and Suffolk counties on Long Island.

Swim School Association first voted Jim as Vice-President and then
later as President, where he served for a period of approximately
ten years. While serving, he had the opportunity to speak to other
swim school owners and members both in the United States and Australia
on various swim school topics, including the daily operation and financial
aspects of the business.
Recently, Jim was elected
to Vice President and President elect of the United States Swim School
Association. Jim will serve as Vice President for the next two years,
and then as President for the remaining two years. U.S. Swim School
Association is an association of quality schools devoted to aquatic
education for lifelong water safety, and good health. Not limited to
U.S. schools, the USSSA boasts international members as far away as
Australia and New Zealand and is a significant contributor to international
sportsmanship and aquatic safety.
Jim also is the president of HHN Enterprises, a national consulting firm
specifically for swim school operators. Services range from site evaluation and pool design,
