Hi! I'm Emily 👋

For over 12 years, I’ve worked with swimmers in private lessons, group classes, and personal coaching and I’ve had the privilege of helping hundreds of kids learn to swim and feel confident in the water.

Now, as a mom and swim coach, I’m focused on helping other parents do the same through simple, confidence-building swim tools and resources designed to make the process easier and less overwhelming.

Whether you’re just getting started or looking for extra support, you’re in the right place. My goal is to help you
feel empowered teaching your child, even if you’ve never done it before.

Let’s make water time something your whole family looks forward to.

    I absolutely love this. The design is clean, the information is clear, and the video access is life-changing!... My relationship with swimming and water would be completely different if this had been implemented when I was young.

    This is wonderful! The skills it teaches are fantastic...As we head into summer, water safety for my 2 year old is on the top of my mind. We've already been practicing skills in the bathtub, but these 5 safety skills will improve upon what he already knows. And will definitely increase my confidence being around the water with two young kids!
