The start of SwitchUp®
This is Stubby (peek the ears). Since it's hard to work full time, raise kids and do all the things (I'm sure you know too) - he gets to go to the pool to stay in shape for barrel racing. I was frustrated with having to use multiple plastic bags and containers that fit what I needed to send with him for his pool trips. After researching and not finding what I needed I decided to create my own product - something reuseable that saves space and time.

Next Steps
When I couldn't find what I needed, I created it myself. Over the next year and a half—juggling full-time work, family life, and helping run our horse business—I researched, prototyped, and spent many long nights turning my vision into reality. I invested in Alberta-made molds. Our inserts themselves are manufactured here in Central Alberta. Everything from the design to production has been crafted in Alberta using local manufacturers.
