What If Every Swim Pro Shared More?

You can’t make up what happens in an emergency room and that reality changes how you see risk forever. We’re joined by Miss Julie, founder of Water Safe Swim and a former ER professional and EMT, for a candid conversation about drowning prevention, what parents don’t know until it’s too late, and why the phrase “it won’t happen to me” doesn’t belong anywhere near water.We talk through Julie’s 26 seasons teaching infants and toddlers, how sensory motor learning and muscle memory shape her method, and why water safety programs are fundamentally different from traditional swim lessons that start with play. Julie also shares what it took to walk away from the hospital so she could focus her time, money, and energy on reach, not just growth. If you’re a parent searching for infant swim lessons, toddler swim safety, or practical layers of protection around pools, bathtubs, and lakes, this is a grounded roadmap.A big focus is “Beyond The Deck,” Julie’s approach to parent education through newsletters, community events, and partnerships with real estate agents, pool service companies, fire departments, and physicians. We also get honest about industry turf wars, ethical referrals, misleading flotation device marketing, and how instructors can build trust with clear communication, CPR and first aid standards, and values that put families first.If this conversation helps you rethink water safety, subscribe, share it with a parent or swim pro, and leave a review so more families can find it.Book with Julie: https://www.watersafeswim.com/Connect with Julie on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/missjulie_lodi/The Swimpreneur Diaries is a podcast for aquatic industry professionals building businesses, raising the standard, and doing it on purpose.
