The Swim School That Said No to PE- And Yes to Shared Wealth, Purpose, and a Thousand-Year Trust
Miren Oca is the Founder and Director of Ocaquatics Swim School, a beloved, values-driven business based in Florida that teaches thousands of children to swim safely and confidently every year. A lifelong advocate for purpose-driven leadership, Miren has built her company on the pillars of safety, cleanliness, and care—extending those values to her team, customers, and broader community.
Under her leadership, Ocaquatics has become not only a Certified B Corporation, but also one of the first U.S. swim schools to transition ownership to its employees through a Perpetual Purpose Trust, a unique structure that protects the company’s mission and ensures it thrives for generations to come.
