Why Families Trust SAFR

Swim SAFR is built by a first responder who’ve seen firsthand what happens when children aren’t prepared for the water. We developed the SAFR Water Safety Standard and we strive to uphold that standard.

“Knowing how to swim and knowing how to self-rescue aren’t the same thing.”

Built by a First Responder

Real-world experience shapes how we teach, prioritize safety, and prepare children beyond basic swim skills.

A Proven Standard

The SAFR Survival Standard gives instructors a clear, consistent method focused on real-life readiness.

Family-Focused Approach

Flexible scheduling, one-on-one lessons, and optional parent involvement — designed around your child’s success.

Water smart from the start.

We build essential water safety habits alongside swim skills, so your child learns how to be safe in and around water.

Progress at their pace.

One-on-one instruction gives your child the focused attention they need to build skills, confidence, and independence – step by step.

Real skills for real moments.

We teach age-appropriate skills that prepare your child for real-life situations – not just how to pass a level.

Trusted by families.

Our program is shaped by real-world experience—focused on preparation, awareness, and helping kids stay calm, capable, and confident in the water.

The Safr Survival Standard

Confidence in the water starts with the right foundation.

Every SAFR-certified instructor teaches the same framework — so no matter where your child starts, they're building real survival skills.

parent testimonials

SAFR is such a wonderful program that Mikey has created! He makes the whole experience so wonderful and I can’t thank him enough for helping my kids love the water. He is instilling not only safety but also the love of the water for both my kiddos. I have a 3 month old and I can’t wait to get him into a class with Mikey. Thank you so much Mikey for giving me and so many other parents the tools needed to have our kids confident in the water!
