Episode Summary
In this premiere episode of Navigating Neva, we’re diving into early swim education through the lens of play, connection, and emotional safety.
Nicole and Wesley welcome Helen Hughes, creator of Mini Water Adventurers, joining all the way from the U.K. ahead of her first U.S. workshop at the Treasure Coast YMCA in Stuart, Florida (Nov. 15–16).
Helen shares how she brings curiosity, confidence, and joy back to swim teaching — helping educators rediscover their “why.” Together, we explore how movement, play, and empathy create safer, more capable swimmers.
