McKinney, TX 75071My name is Danielle Ruais and I am the owner of Swim Baby Swim, LLC. Swimming has been a huge part of my life. I have always loved the water, lifeguarding for 7 years and teaching swimming lessons to children under 7 years old. I am Infant, Child and Adult CPR and First Aid certified.
I have a Bachelors of Science degree in Recreation Management and Therapeutic Recreation from the University of New Hampshire. I have spent my life caring and working with children.
After having my daughter I decided to stay home with her. When Anna was 18 months old I decided she needed to learn to swim and float. We took her to the ocean when she was 13 months and she tried to run right out into the waves. We'd take her to the pool and she'd want to jump in. She truly had no fear or respect of the water. It scared me. A friend told me about Infant Aquatics and I enrolled Anna immediately with Cindy Clark. After seeing how well Anna could swim and float at only 18 months I decided I wanted to become an instructor. I've always loved children and teaching swimming. I was thrilled when I found a career that could incorporate both.
Swim Baby Swim, LLC is dedicated to teaching proper swimming technique and the important survival skills that could one day save your child's life. Learning to swim has already saved Anna once. We were at a playdate at a friend's house and most of the 2 year olds were in life jackets. Anna was not. One of her friends saw her swimming and tried to grab her. He proceeded to push her under. She broke lose of his grip and flipped onto her back, floated and then swam to the tanning ledge. I was within an arms length away and all this happened with in seconds.
Needless to say, if you spend time near water or own a pool please consider this program. Not only will any of the Infant Aquatics Instructors teach your child how to rescue themselves in the water, but we'll also teach them lifelong swimming skills that grow with your child and self confidence and comfort in the water.
Can your child swim independently without floatation or your assistance? Can he float? Does she know how to get to her back in order to float? What would happen if your child fell in the pool or off a dock?
The water is only as safe as your skills allow it to be. I have spent my life searching for a job I love and teaching infant aquatics is it.
