Specialties
Unlike traditional swim schools that focus primarily on water play or basic stroke mechanics, Swim Safe Naples is a specialized center for ISR Self-Rescue™—the global leader in survival swimming for infants and young children. Our mission is to provide every child with the skills to survive a water emergency before they even learn to walk.
Evidence-Based Results: With over 13 years of specialized experience and more than 1,900 success stories, we deliver proven results through a highly structured, one-on-one training methodology.
The ISR Difference: We specialize in the 'Roll-to-Float' and 'Swim-Float-Swim' techniques, ensuring that if a child reaches the water alone, they can self-rescue by flipping onto their back to breathe and rest indefinitely.
Certified Expertise: Our instructors are not just swim teachers; they are Certified ISR Professionals who undergo rigorous annual re-certification and clinical training to ensure the highest safety standards for your child.
Local Authority: As a dedicated provider for Naples and Marco Island, we understand the unique water safety needs of Florida families, focusing on drowning prevention through competence rather than just water confidence.
Personalized Approach: Every lesson is tailored to the child's specific physical and developmental needs, ensuring a safe, positive, and life-saving learning environment.
History
Established in 2009.
Swim Safe Naples was established over 13 years ago with a clear and vital purpose: to bring the highest level of aquatic safety to families in Southwest Florida. Our journey began when we recognized the critical need for specialized survival training that went beyond traditional recreational swimming.
Since our founding, we have remained exclusively dedicated to the ISR Self-Rescue™ methodology. Over the last decade, we have reached the milestone of over 1,900 success stories, transforming infants and toddlers into confident, competent swimmers who can handle water emergencies.
From our first lesson in Naples to becoming a leading drowning prevention resource in Marco Island, our history is built on trust, certified expertise, and a relentless commitment to protecting our community’s most vulnerable swimmers.
Meet the Business Owner: Fernanda W.
I am an ISR Certified Master Instructor. I have been working with children in Naples for over a decade, and I absolutely adore my job.
My mission is to ensure that every child has the knowledge and skills to stay safe in the water. I believe that every child should have the opportunity to learn how to swim, and I am dedicated to providing a fun and positive learning environment for kids between the ages of 6 months and 6 years old.
In addition to being fluent in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, I am also proficient in the universal baby language!
