Hi, I'm Teresa Coletti-Iacono!

I became a certified swim instructor in December 2006 and spent 15 years teaching in Florida before moving to Pennsylvania four years ago to be closer to my in-laws.

I hold certifications in:
✔ BLS CPR, First Aid, and AED (American Red Cross)
✔ Infant & Toddler Sleep Consulting
✔ Firefighting (Trained with WMTFD)

I am incredibly grateful for my amazingly supportive wife, Michelle, and our three wonderful daughters—Sarah (25), Lauren (23), and Taylor (22). Having a family that believes in me and my mission means everything!

My Passion for Teaching & Water Safety

My entire life has revolved around children. From being a nanny in high school to working in child development centers, youth groups, and after-school programs, I always found joy in helping kids grow and thrive. Although I took a corporate path for a time to support my family, my heart always pulled me back to working with children.

That passion led me to become a Certified Instructor in Survival-Based Swimming. I truly believe this is the most effective way to teach infants and toddlers life-saving water skills. Founding ISwim2Live has allowed me to help reduce pediatric drowning incidents and give children the skills they need to survive in the water. Seeing each child succeed in learning these critical skills fuels my passion every single day.
