About Nikki

My journey with Infant Aquatics started many years ago when my own children completed the Infant Aquatics swim survival program. I was amazed at how quickly they progressed. My son took to it easily, while my daughter — strong-willed and going through separation anxiety — was vocal through the entire six weeks!

As a water-loving family, with holidays centered around scuba diving, snorkeling, and time spent at our holiday home on the river, I knew these skills were essential. Once my daughter completed the program and regained her sense of control, she blossomed into a little mermaid. The peace of mind I felt, knowing my children could swim and find their air if needed, was priceless.

That experience inspired me to pursue a career focused on teaching survival skills to little ones. In 2017, I traveled to Colorado, USA, to complete the intensive six-week Infant Aquatics certification with Infant Aquatics Founder Judy Heumann. Since then, I’ve taught lifesaving aquatic skills to hundreds of children, and I’m still in awe of the results — children growing in confidence, overcoming fears, and even saving themselves in real-life situations.

This program truly changes lives, and I look forward to giving your child the gift of water safety while helping them discover a love for the water.
