About Mae

Hi! I'm Mae Jeffery and originally I'm from the South Alabama area, but currently live in North Carolina. I've coached age group competitive swimming for USA Swimming for about 15 years. However, I've always had a passion for our youngest swimmers. At the age of 3, I drown in my neighbor's swimming pool that was fully gated; my mother found me in time and saved my life. Now that I am a mother of two young boys I feel passionate that every child should have survival swim lessons to prevent tragedy at any cost.

My two little ones have taken survival swim courses, so I have seen first hand these programs work. After much research, I decided become certified through the Infant Aquatics group founded by Judy Heumann. After spending 6 weeks in Longmont, CO in an intense hands on practicum I completed the course in Spring of 2022. I feel confident that as a certified Infant Aquatics Instructor I will be able to bring the joys of swimming to all the little fish in your life!
