Nicole Fairfield is a dedicated water safety advocate and author of I Can Float, I Can Put My Face In, and I Will Wait. With over 20 years of experience teaching swimming since 2000, Nicole is committed to helping children develop life-saving water skills.

Her passion for water safety stems from a personal experience: a near-drowning incident at age three. Rescued by her aunt, Nicole credits her family’s focus on water safety for giving her a second chance. This life-changing moment motivates her mission to educate families about staying vigilant around water.

Inspired by the swimmers she teaches, Nicole’s books encourage kids to embrace water with confidence while learning critical safety skills like floating and face immersion. She believes these foundational abilities can save lives and make aquatic adventures enjoyable.

Through her writing, Nicole blends engaging storytelling with practical lessons to foster a love for the water while promoting safety. Outside of her work, she enjoys family time, outdoor adventures, and advocating for water safety in her community.
