About Native Waters Swim Academy
Our Passion
Hi, I'm Kayla, the proud owner of Native Waters Swim Academy.
As a multi-generational Floridian whose family has called this area home since the founding of St. Lucie County, the water has always been a part of my family's story. Growing up surrounded by Florida's beaches, rivers, lakes, and waterways instilled in me a deep appreciation for the water—and an even greater respect for the importance of water safety.
My passion for teaching children to swim through engaging swim lessons goes far beyond learning strokes. I believe every child deserves the confidence and life-saving skills to enjoy the water safely. Every swimming class is an opportunity to help a child overcome fear, build confidence, and develop a lifelong love and respect for the water.
As a parent, I understand the trust families place in an instructor, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. My goal is to create a positive, encouraging environment within our youth swimming programs where every swimmer feels supported, challenged, and celebrated. Whether a child is learning essential survival skills, improving their technique, or simply gaining confidence, I believe every milestone deserves to be recognized.
