Infant Aquatics Instructor Certification

10/06/2026

🎉 Three new Infant Aquatics® instructors are officially bringing survival swim lessons back to their own communities. 🩵

Over the summer and into September, Kayla Wendt, Erin Strickland, and Jenna Hale completed their Infant Aquatics® certification!

And all three came to this work for really different, really personal reasons.

Kayla first saw the impact of these skills with her own daughter.

Erin grew up understanding how important swimming ability can be in a family where not everyone feels confident in the water.

And for Jenna, drowning prevention has touched her family from both sides through loss and through seeing survival swim skills help save a life.

Now, with ⭐️ 100+ hours of hands-on training behind them, they’re taking that experience back home and putting it to work in their own communities.

🩵 Kayla Wendt— Fredericksburg Otter-ly Safe Infant Aquatics in Virginia
Trained with Erin Loewe in Richmond, VA.

🩵 Erin Strickland— Water Whisperer Infant Aquatis in Pennsylvania
Trained with Judy Heumann in Longmont, CO.

🩵 Jenna Hale— Jelly Jam Swim Infant Aquatics in Arizona
Trained with Judy Heumann in Longmont, CO.

🎉 Welcome Our Newest Infant Aquatics® Instructors!

The Infant Aquatics® Global Network continues to grow, and we're excited to welcome two new instructors who are bringing lifesaving water survival lessons to families in their communities.

✨ Mera Angel will be teaching in Sneads Ferry, NC
Trained by Erin Loewe in Richmond, VA at Starfish Infant Aquatics

and

✨ Sara Holland Blubber Buddies Infant Aquatics LLC in Somerville, TN
Trained by Margie Herman in Adel, GA at Creme de la Swim Infant Aquatics

Both Mera and Sara found their way to Infant Aquatics through the experience of watching their own children learn lifesaving water survival skills.

For Mera, becoming an instructor was about bringing Infant Aquatics to military families in a community where these lessons weren't readily available.

For Sara, seeing the confidence and safety her daughters gained inspired her to travel for six weeks of intensive, hands-on training so she could bring those same skills home to families in West Tennessee.

Through extensive hands-on training with Infant Aquatics® Certifying Instructors, both are now preparing to serve the families in their communities with swim lessons that could save lives!
