Our mission
At Navigating Neva, our mission is to promote water safety and swimming education for individuals of all ages. Through our podcast and resources, we aim to empower listeners with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate aquatic environments confidently and safely.
Navigating Neva is a podcast dedicated to water safety and swimming education, hosted by Neva Nicole, a seasoned aquatics professional with over two decades of experience and an accomplished author of several books. Neva's journey began in 1999 when she earned her Lifeguard Certification, followed by a YMCA Swim Instructor Certification in 2000. Her passion for teaching swimming spans all age groups, with a special focus on adults, preschoolers, and individuals overcoming water-related fears and phobias. Through her podcast and books like I Can Put My Face in the Water and Swim with Me Cards, Neva offers practical, step-by-step guidance on swimming techniques, layers of protection, drowning prevention, CPR in emergencies, and self-teaching methods. Each resource empowers individuals to embrace swimming with confidence, equipping them with essential skills to stay safe in aquatic environments.
