“Hi! I’m Becca the instructor, mom, and heart behind AquaSquad Swim.
If you’re here, you’re probably a parent looking for someone you can trust with your child around the water and as a mom of three, I want you to know I take that responsibility to heart.”

Her background in child development shapes every lesson, ensuring instruction is developmentally appropriate, intentional, and respectful of how children learn.

Sharing Knowledge Beyond the Pool
Becca regularly collaborates with and educates swim instructors worldwide through conference presentations focused on survival swim and water safety. This March, she will be the lead survival swim instructor presenting at her second international instructor conference.
“As a swim instructor, I’ve participated in several of Becca’s online trainings and survival swim conversations, and they set the foundation for an absolutely amazing in-person training. Her explanations of survival swim methods finally made everything click, and seeing her demos in person took it to a whole new level.
Her techniques have been a total game changer for my teaching. My students are floating and self-rescuing more efficiently and confidently than ever before. Becca shares skills that many instructors keep to themselves, and she does it with so much clarity and heart. I’m incredibly grateful for what I’ve learned from her. She's an expert at her craft.”

“We enrolled both of our boys (4&2) with Becca to learn survival swim skills. Our 4 yr old struggled with following directions and staying on task, but Becca always remained patient and kind with him. It took him 7 weeks, but he just graduated today, and he has become such a confident swimmer!! Our 2 yr old put up a quite the fight for 3 weeks straight, but when the skills he was practicing, finally clicked, he had a lightbulb moment and started looking forward to his lessons with Becca. After just 5 weeks, he was graduating and on his way to becoming an independent swimmer! We couldn’t have done this without Becca’s hard work and dedication to this program. The peace of mind we have now is priceless. Thank you for all you’ve done to help our boys swim!”
