Erin Leonard learned to swim as a toddler, taught by her own dad, went on to swim competitively in high school, and spent years teaching at formal swim schools before starting Aqua Mama to do it better. She is CPR certified and a former Water Safety Instructor and lifeguard.
According to the CDC, drowning is the leading cause of death for children ages 1 to 4 in the United States. The reassuring part: the CDC also finds that formal swim lessons can lower that risk.
The younger a child gets comfortable in the water, the more naturally safety becomes second nature, and the more your whole family can relax at the pool, the lake, or on vacation.

“Aqua swim mama is our first class ever. My baby is shy of 6 months so it’s our first time in a social setting with other babies and it’s been a great experience. Erin is patient, warm and very welcoming.”
“My son (11 months) had a great time and enjoyed Erin’s swim classes. I highly recommend it for even smaller babies.”
“I have been taking my son to swimming lessons with Erin and he absolutely enjoys it. Each week I can see his confidence building and Erin is such a great teacher. I highly recommend Aqua Mama Swim Co to any parents of little ones.”
