Meet Kathy Nowak, Executive Director

Eight years ago, Kathy founded Swim Otters, LLC and personally wrote the Swim Otters' Lesson Curriculum®.  All of Swim Otters' lessons are designed to meet the needs of the individual child.  Identifying with the fact that kids learn best when lessons are gentle, Kathy is the creator of the "gentle and nurturing approach" in teaching young children the fundamentals of safe swimming.  She believes that kids should be "empowered" with the knowledge to keep them safe.  All lessons at Swim Otters are interactive, exciting and fun!

Kathy has undergone many weeks of rigorous and intensive training to learn how to teach infant & child survival swim lessons. She is the Master Instructor at Swim Otters.  Kathy has taught thousands of students in these life saving techniques. As a member of the NDPA (National Drowning Prevention Alliance), Swim Otters continues to forge ahead in new research & development in preventing pediatric drowning.  Being passionate and committed to preventing pediatric drowning in her community, Kathy recently founded the Swim Safe Program for preschool age children organizations in our surrounding Denver, Colorado communities.
