Water Heroes Survival Swim, 2 Briar Creek Lane, Carlinville, IL (2026)

The first few lessons, he was terrified to let go when taken into the deeper water. He could hold his breath underwater, but leaving the stairs meant grabbing onto me and holding tight.

He just hadn’t found his confidence YET.

Then today… IT CLICKED. 🥹🙌🏼

He let go. He did the hard things. And he did them with CONFIDENCE. 💙

I kept telling him:
“You can do hard things. You are brave. I believe in you.”

And look at him now. 🥹👏🏼

Sometimes they just need patience, encouragement, and an instructor who believes in them until they believe in themselves.

WE CAN DO HARD THINGS. 💪🏼

💦My MISSION and my WHY❤️

It has always been my dream to bring more awareness to child drowning prevention—and to bring these life-saving skills to families right here in our area.

😲Drowning is the leading cause of accidental death for children ages 1–4, yet survival swim programs like this can be hard to find locally. That’s why I’m so passionate about making these services accessible to our community.

If your family lives near a pool, pond, lake, or other open water, survival swim is an investment in your child’s safety that I believe is so worth making.

I’m so happy to meet you and your little ones and help give them skills that could one day save their life. 💙

“Why are they swimming in their clothes?” 👕💦

Because kids don’t usually fall in wearing a swimsuit and goggles ready for a lesson. They fall in while playing, chasing a ball, or when we least expect it.

Wet clothing adds weight and changes how they move in the water and get to their float.

That’s why we don’t consider training complete until they can perform their life-saving skills fully clothed.

The goal isn’t to swim in clothes—it’s to make sure their survival skills still work when the unexpected happens. ❤️

Here’s why 👇🏼

👶Babies and toddlers’ bodies tire quickly. They’re working HARD to establish breath control and learn these water self-rescue skills, and yes, they may swallow water along the way and that is part of the process. The child needs to learn from these consequences by experiencing going underwater with short submerges.

💦15 minutes is intentional. It allows them to work, reset, and take breaks without overwhelming their little bodies. Those breaks are also where we build trust, confidence, connection, and use interactive cognitive play.

🤔Think about it—these are often their first experiences taking direction from a teacher, practicing discipline, and learning to respect their coach.

So no, they aren’t “just swimming” for 15 minutes. 💦

They’re learning life-saving skills, building confidence, developing discipline, and learning how to work hard—all in one short, focused lesson. ❤️

Short lesson. BIG impact. 🦸🏼‍♀️💦
