Why Frantastic Voyage
Was Created
A personal note from founder Leah Francis
I didn’t learn to swim until my mid twenties. But once I discovered the freedom, confidence, and sense of connection I found in the water, it changed the way I thought about wellness and who gets to experience it.
I also became more aware of how many people never developed a relationship with the water or simply never saw themselves represented in aquatic spaces. I wanted to help change that.
That vision became Frantastic Voyage, a different approach to aquatic wellness that combines movement, music, connection, and experiences designed to make the water feel welcoming rather than intimidating.
You don’t have to be a swimmer, an athlete, or already feel comfortable in the water to begin. You just have to be willing to experience it differently.
My hope is that people leave Frantastic Voyage feeling stronger, more confident, more connected—and excited to come back.
Because everyone deserves the opportunity to discover what the water can do for them.
The Frantastic Wellness Foundation
Our mission extends beyond the pool through the Frantastic Wellness Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to expanding access to aquatic wellness. We focus on supporting women through perimenopause and menopause, strengthening relationships through couples’ wellness experiences, and making the physical and emotional benefits of water accessible to more communities.
Our Vision Is Bigger Than the Pool
We envision creating a welcoming wellness space where people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities can move, connect, recharge, and explore different paths to well-being. A place where aquatic wellness is at the heart of the experience, complemented by opportunities for movement, mindfulness, education, community, and collaboration.
We know a vision like this is built through community. We’re beginning to build relationships with individuals, organizations, wellness professionals, community leaders, and partners who believe in creating more accessible and inclusive approaches to wellness.
Want to help us bring this vision to life? Whether you have an idea, a resource, a potential partnership, or simply want to be part of the conversation, we’d love to connected.
