Aqua-Tots partner and world champion swimmer, Kristy Kowal, welcomes families into the school to become safe and confident swimmers for life.

Kristy’s love of the water, passion for swimming and commitment to teaching children make her an ideal fit for the Aqua-Tots family. -Craig Wright, CEO of Aqua-Tots Swim Schools

May 10, 2021

Aqua-Tots Swim Schools, the world leader in swim instruction, announces their one-year partnership with Kristy Kowal, Olympic silver medalist, world champion swimmer and former world record holder. Their Swim Like a Champion campaign will highlight key moments throughout Kristy’s swimming career to inspire families to go for the goal of safe and confident swimming for life.

Kowal’s swim journey began in swim lessons at the age of nine months and ultimately led her to the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia, where she won the silver medal in the 200-meter breaststroke.

“I have been swimming my entire life, but when I was eight years old, I had my first glimpse of Olympic swimming, and at that moment, I knew what I wanted to do,” said Kowal. “But my story comes with its fair share of setbacks. I missed qualifying for Team USA in two separate races. One by 17/100ths of a second. The other by 1/100ths of a second. These races became a driving force in my story and serve as an example of how anyone can reach their goals if they set their mind to it.”

Aqua-Tots’ Swim Like a Champion campaign aims to inspire children and show them that they can become champions in the water and in life. Throughout the summer season and with worldwide coverage of the Olympic Games in Tokyo, swimming will be at the forefront for many families.

“We are really excited to partner with Kristy,” said Aqua-Tots CEO Craig Wright. “Her love of the water, passion for swimming and commitment to teaching children make her an ideal fit for the Aqua-Tots family. We hope to motivate children to become champions in the water and throughout life by creating goals, accomplishing them and gaining confidence every step of the way. With Kristy’s support, we intend to ignite a spark in a whole new generation of swimmers.”

Today, Kowal is a 4th-grade teacher in Southern California. Her experience as an educator and expertise as a swimmer and professional athlete also keep her in high demand for clinics, private coaching and mentorships. Although her Olympic aspirations have been fulfilled, her current goals include supporting, motivating and guiding those she teaches to reach their full potential.

“I’m honored to partner with Aqua-Tots,” said Kowal. “Their mission to save lives by teaching children all over the world how to swim aligns with my passion for swimming and heartbeat for children’s education. No one knows who the next world champion swimmer will be, and their story may just begin in swim lessons.”

Colin Montgomerie

EyePromise has given me clarity and confidence. The contrast in the greens is better, and I see the line in the putt. If you can see the line and believe it, it’s amazing how easy the game becomes.

CHESTERFIELD, Mo. (PRWEB)
May 06, 2021

EyePromise, the industry leading line of eye vitamins formulated to help preserve, support, and improve vision and eye health, has partnered with eight-time European Order of Merit winner and World Golf Hall of Fame golfer Colin Montgomerie.

Currently playing on the PGA Champions Tour, Scottish golfer Colin “Monty” Montgomerie is known to be one of the greatest Ryder Cup athletes of all time and has also won 31 European Tour titles. Similar to other professional golfers like Pádraig Harrington, Montgomerie began incorporating EyePromise into his daily nutrition supplementation in late 2020 and has noticed the benefits of sharper vision and improved eye health both on and off the golf course.

“EyePromise has given me clarity and confidence,” said Montgomerie. “The contrast in the greens is better, and I see the line in the putt. If you can see the line and believe it, it’s amazing how easy the game becomes. It’s no surprise to me that other athletes including the Boston Red Sox and even collegiate sports teams are taking EyePromise, as vision is so important to sports performance.”

Since 2001, EyePromise has been providing athletes, doctors, and the everyday individual with natural eye vitamins to help maintain and support better vision against age-related eye health issues, irritated dry eyes, and even the effects of screen time. EyePromise is NSF Certified for Sport®, and the science behind the supplements demonstrates that eye-friendly nutrients such as zeaxanthin and lutein work together to build the macular pigment within the eyes, which is responsible for vision and overall eye health.

“We are excited about more PGA Tour players using and truly seeing better with EyePromise,” said Andreas Wolf, President of EyePromise. “We admire Colin for being one of the best European golfers and look forward to being a part of his success in 2021. His experience with Vizual Edge™ Pro is consistent with feedback we hear from other well-known players. We are honored to deliver a product that helps his putting and overall game. The benefit of reducing glare, light sensitivity, and the feeling of over tired, dry eyes is really what the product was designed to do”.

Isagenix Wellness Coach Pavel Manchik leads an array of fitness classes for employees and provides health and fitness consultations.

“We’re proud of our comprehensive corporate wellness program and how it helps employees achieve their wellbeing goals so they can live better.” – Isagenix Vice President of Human Resources Deborah Mathews

GILBERT, Ariz. (PRWEB)
May 04, 2021

As a company committed to helping employees experience healthy, joyful, and abundant lives, Isagenix International is honored to rank in the top 10 of the Phoenix Business Journal’s Healthiest Employers awards for the fourth consecutive year. The global wellbeing company earned the No. 6 spot, its highest ranking yet, in the midsize companies category.

The Phoenix Business Journal recognized 82 micro, small, midsize, large, and extra-large employers in the metropolitan Phoenix area at its recent 2021 Healthiest Employers event. Companies were scored by a proprietary system that considered the various health and wellness programs and benefits they offer. Isagenix has received Healthiest Employers recognition five years in a row.

“We’re proud of our comprehensive corporate wellness program and how it helps employees achieve their wellbeing goals so they can live better,” said Isagenix Vice President of Human Resources Deborah Mathews. “It’s been especially gratifying to see employees embrace our virtual wellbeing offerings this past year, as COVID-19 necessitated implementing many initiatives online. While we look forward to things returning to normal, we appreciate how the pandemic has made us more thoughtful, purposeful, and nimble in serving our employee population.”

The company’s noteworthy corporate wellness program includes:

• 
  Personalized wellness consultations: An on-site wellness coach offers 45-minute consultations for personalized nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle coaching.
• Weekly on-site fitness classes: The wellness coach typically leads over 17 hours of in-person functional fitness, high-intensity, and circuit training classes weekly. Due to COVID-19, fitness and yoga classes are offered virtually for now, allowing all employees globally to participate for the first time.
• A wellbeing challenge: This year, Isagenix expanded its annual employee IsaBody Challenge® to include all employees. Previously, the no-cost wellbeing transformation program was available only to staff at the company’s world headquarters in Gilbert.
• An employee assistance program: A 24/7 employee assistance program provides confidential counseling to employees and their family members. The HR team has promoted the program even more robustly this past year to help support employees as they navigate COVID-19’s impact on their work and home lives.
• Financial education: Free one-on-one meetings with Morgan Stanley advisers offer employees an opportunity for financial planning assistance and investment advice.

Global Employee IsaBody Challenge

The company’s first global employee IsaBody Challenge kicked off March 8 and ends June 28. Participants who complete the 16-week virtual Challenge have a chance to win their share of over US$20,000 in cash prizes. Nearly half of the company’s employees (43%) are participating, a strong turnout for corporate wellbeing challenges, according to Isagenix Wellness Coach Pavel Manchik.

During the Challenge, Isagenix employees can focus on energy, performance, weight loss, or healthy aging. The program provides them with support, accountability, and encouragement from other participants as well as Manchik.

The global Challenge divided participating employees into five regions: U.S./Canada, Mexico, Europe (United Kingdom, Spain, Netherlands, and Germany), Asia (Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Japan), and Australia/New Zealand. When the Challenge ends, each region will have a winner and runner-up, with the five winners competing for the global title.

Additional Recent Awards

In addition to the Healthiest Employers award, recent honors include:

• In April, the Unstoppable Foundation presented Isagenix Co-Founders Jim and Kathy Coover with its Unstoppable Legacy Award in recognition of their generous support of the foundation’s mission to ensure every child has access to the lifelong gift of education.
• In April, the Arizona Corporate Counsel Awards named Isagenix Associate General Counsel Michael LaClare as Up-and-Comer of the Year. The awards program honors the state’s greatest legal minds working at Arizona businesses.
