Our Team
Aqua Safe is proud to say that we are extremely “picky” when we hire new instructors. Our
instructors usually have experience working with children, are happy, positive, smart, quick and
capable. They go through a rigorous training with the owner, Miriam Buckwold. The course is
generally more than 50 hours, individually, with constant support and ongoing learning. This
can’t be compared to they typical American Red Cross WSI Course which is about 30 hours of
training, along with 5-15 other participants. Our instructors continue their training, mostly
working with other clients as an assistant, until they are ready to “graduate” and become Aqua
Safe-WSI Instructors.
