Nathalie Rojas
Hello, my name is Nathalie Rojas, I am from Mexico City, but I've been living in Laredo since 1992. I am a graduated from Texas A&M International University with a Bachelors Degree in Psychology. I am married and mother of 3 boys. Laredo is a very hot city during spring and summer, and we enjoy being in the pool. For this reason, in 2002, I decided that I got certified by the American Red Cross to become a Swimming Safety Instructor and since then I've been teaching children ages 3 years and up and giving "mommy and me" classes for infants, not knowing about the Infant Aquatic Program.
This year, I decided to train with Infant Aquatics, having found them over the internet. The Infant Survival Technique to teaches infants from 6 month to 6 years, how to swim-float-swim in any situation. I completed a very rigorous training program in Dallas, Texas, with Instructor Beverly Steinfink, R.N ;as my supervisor, over 100 hours in-water training and over 100 hours learning the physiology, psychology, and development of the child between the ages of 6 months to six years as they apply to swimming and water survival. I am also certified in adult, child and infant CPR and First Aid by the American Red Cross.
The leading cause of accidental death in Texas is drowning, and 50% of the homes in Laredo have swimming pools. I feel it is very important to give your child the ability to survive on their own in the water and build a positive foundation for lifelong water enjoyment., I would love to share this gift of swimming with your family.
