Infant Aquatics® NATIONALLY CERTIFIED INSTRUCTOR www.infantaquatics.com
Meet your instructor
Hello there,
My name is Olga and I am a certified Infant Aquatics Instructor. Before "diving into the pool" to teach babies and young children how to swim, I worked for years as a clinical assistant in the pediatric intensive care unit at a teaching hospital as well as a technician in the emergency department at a busy hospital on Long Island, NY. Working there helped me develop critical thinking and safety skills that come in very handy in the water. The healthcare experience taught me that emergencies are preventable, so why not put my effort into a proactive solution instead of a reactive one?
I am certified in:
-Certified Infant Aquatics® Instructor
-CPR/AED/First Aid Certified
-Published author of "Floating for Survival" a children's book that teaches tiny swimmers how to stay safe in the water.
