Safe and Strong Swim Academy

A closer look at the FINIS Swim Slip Fin Pro 💙🌊

So excited to add these to my swim toolbox! I can’t wait to introduce them to my older, more confident swimmers as we work on stronger kicks, longer distances, and building even more strength and confidence in the water.

A big thank you to Tammy Kaye Cobb Bergeron at Swimming Stuff, Inc. for giving me the opportunity to try out this new product for Safe & Strong Swim Academy. I’m already loving how comfortable, secure, and easy they are to use! 🐘💦

Safe today. Strong for life. 🤍

Celebrating this milestone for Safe & Strong surrounded by women who have loved me, encouraged me, supported me, and cheered me on along the way made this moment even sweeter. ✨

So grateful for these women, this journey, and memories like this that I’ll treasure forever. My heart is full. 🥹

Thank you, Water Street Oyster Bar | Downtown Corpus Christi, for the perfect place to celebrate. 🤍

Here’s to how far we’ve come and all that’s still ahead. 🥂✨

Safe & Strong is kinda chic. 🐘🌊

Water safety looks good on everyone. 🤍

There are moments in life that leave you speechless… and this is one of them. 🤍

I am incredibly honored and deeply humbled to share that Safe & Strong Swim Academy has been featured in the August issue of THE BEND MAGAZINE

When Ava Coronado reached out to interview me, I thought we'd simply be talking about swim lessons. Instead, she beautifully captured the heart behind why I do what I do. I'm especially grateful that she highlighted the Float It Forward Scholarship Fund, our partnership with Hope Floats Foundation, and our mission of making life-saving survival swim lessons more accessible to families across the Coastal Bend.

Living in a coastal community is one of our greatest blessings, but it also comes with a responsibility to educate, prepare, and protect our children around water. My prayer is that this feature inspires more awareness, more conversations, and more families to take that important step toward water safety.

This story was brought to life with such thoughtfulness and care by Ava Coronado beautifully captured through the lens of Sarah Norem | Professional Photography, and made possible by the incredible team at The Bend Magazine. Thank you for giving this mission a voice and the opportunity to reach even more families across the Coastal Bend. 💙

To every swim family, local business, friend, community partner, and supporter—thank you. Your encouragement, trust, referrals, partnerships, and support have helped make this mission possible.

While this feature may have my name on it, its true purpose is so much bigger than me. It's about helping children become safe, confident, and prepared around water, and helping more families gain access to life-saving survival swim lessons.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for believing in this mission. Here's to continuing to raise confident, prepared, and water-wise children across the Coastal Bend.

With gratitude,
Yvette Segovia
Founder | Safe & Strong Swim Academy 💙🐘

One year ago...

Before Safe & Strong Swim Academy looked the way it does today, there were people who believed in the vision long before everyone else could see it.

𝒴𝓋𝑜𝓃𝓃𝑒 🦋 𝐵𝑜𝓃𝓃𝒾𝑒, thank you for helping bring this dream to life. Through Social Butterfly Media, you helped create the heart of the Safe & Strong brand—from my website and branding to your encouragement during those early days of building this business. Your talent, creativity, and unwavering support helped lay the foundation for what Safe & Strong has become today.

Little did we know how many families this dream would one day reach. What started as a vision has grown into a mission that has impacted so many lives, and I'm incredibly grateful for every family who has trusted me with their children.

I'll always be thankful for the people who generously use their gifts to help others chase their dreams. Thank you for believing in mine and for being such an important part of this journey.

Here's to celebrating the people behind the scenes—the ones who help turn dreams into reality. 💙✨🐘

There are people who simply take photos... and then there are people who capture the heart behind a mission. 🩵

I'm so grateful for these beautiful branding photos and for the incredible talent behind the camera. Every image tells a piece of the story of Safe & Strong Swim Academy and the mission God has placed on my heart—to help equip children with life-saving survival swim skills and empower families through water safety education.

Thank you for bringing this vision to life so beautifully. It means more than you know. 🤍✨

These moments remind me just how far this journey has come, and I can't wait to share what's still ahead.
