About Ms. Emma's Swim and Survival Academy in Tampa, FL

. Ms. Emma is a proud Londoner who has a passion for teaching and swimming. She married her high school sweetheart and went on to compete nationally and internationally as a swimmer for over 10 years. After retiring from competitive swimming, she began teaching Montessori and found that her experience with young children gave her the tools to deal with many different personalities. Ms. Emma found a way to bring together her passion for teaching and swimming when she began teaching swimming lessons to her older Montessori students. In 2001, she observed someone teaching infant survival lessons and in that instant she knew what she had to do. Her passion for teaching and swimming led her to become certified as an Infant Swimming Resource instructor in 2003, and since then she has been devoted to providing life-saving swimming skills to as many children as possible.
