In less than 5 weeks, Jordan Dunlap from Lubbock, Texas, has taught Ruby, 24 months, lifesaving survival and swimming skills during the Infant Aquatics 6 week instructor certification course.

Last month, Infant Aquatics lost one of our best. Please read about Rikki Kotzen, a truly incredible young woman filed with passion for helping everyone. Rikki's devotion to preventing drowning combined with her love for children inspired her to found Infant Aquatics Academy, a beautiful swim school in South Africa. Her death at only 31 years has crushed us. Please read Rikki's story and consider making a donation to help keep Rikki's legacy alive and save lives in South Africa.

Week 4 training Jordan Dunlap Infant Aquatics of Lubbock, Erin Loewe Starfish Swimmers and Kristina Hathcock Water Guppies Beyond Survival Swim Lessons. Honored that all three have chosen to certify with Infant Aquatics.

We are excited to announce that we have partnered with the Judah Brown Project to provide scholarships for Infant Aquatics lessons to families with demonstrated need. Our instructors recently raised $1800 for this lifesaving foundation. We look forward to reaching more children with this sponsorship.

Congratulations Libby McFarland on the 5 year anniversary of Little Squirts Aquatics in Fayetteville, Arkansas. We are blessed to have you on our team! Here's a little trip down memory lane.

Floaties are NOT a layer of protection!! Puddle jumpers, water wings and other floaties assist in teaching a child all of the things that help them become mor...e likely to drown. Life Jackets were created for open water like oceans, lakes and rivers. They are important tools in those waters. But they were NEVER meant to use in the pool, where your littles need to learn what their own bodies can and can’t do in the water, so they can develop a healthy respect for it. Water Safety Tips: 1. Use only Coast Guard approved life jackets on your littles and ONLY use them in and around open water. NEVER use them in the pool. 2. Use touch supervision instead, which means never be outside of an arm’s reach of your little, in or around the water. 3. Get your Littles skilled with survival swim lessons, so that if they were to ever get to water without you and get in it, they can save themselves until help comes! Remember, drowning only takes 30 seconds in a young child. Don’t risk it!

Congratulations to our new Certifying Instructor, Kim Emery Swim & Smile TX LLC Infant Aquatics who spent the last 6 weeks training her first instructor, Jennifer Jenkins Hemenway GG's Infant Aquatics Academy under the guidance of Bev Demoratsky Steinfink Dallas Infant Aquatics. Kim received her certification in 2008 and recently opened a beautiful year-round indoor facility in Decatur, Texas. We are thrilled to have her help to accommodate the increased demand for training. Kim is already scheduled to train 3 instructors in 2021.

Kristina Hathcock from Arizona also completed her Infant Aquatics certification this week. Kristina is the proud owner of Water Guppies Beyond Survival Swim Lessons in San Tan Valley. She has been teaching survival swimming for 5 years but wanted to take her skills to a higher level and become part of the Infant Aquatics Network. Here she is with 7 month old Carter in his 3rd week of lessons.

From California to Connecticut, our instructors are on a mission to stop childhood drowning. Thanks to Dena Blum-Rothman for spreading the word. #infantaquatics #drowningprevention
