Rebecca YeeWhen I had my daughter, I looked far and wide for books about swimming for babies. Most kids books about swimming showcased animals like Spot and Miffy, great books but not quite what I was looking for. This lead me to create my own series. I've beena swimming instructor for over 10 years. I love the water and am lucky that my own parents, who couldn't swim at all, put me into lots of swimming classes from a young age. I am passionate that everyone, especially children, can access our great pools and ocean with confidence and safety. My books contain evidence-based swimming techniques woven through a fun narrative to introduce youngsters (and parents) to water in a safe and stress free way. My first book is aimed at babies (4 to 12 months). I have drawn on my science and swimming background to ensure accuracy and am using my little one (Layla) as a prop. We spent a lot of time photographing and sketching the correct holding positions! In my spare time, I am an R&D engineer with the Future Fuels CRC, investigating zero carbon fuels. I also run a biotechnology company that develops sustainable feedstocks to replace fossil fuel fuels and chemicals. I have a toddler, a german shepherd, and baby on the way. I also love hydroponic gardening and hanging out at the beach. Read More Read Less
