Destiny Swim Camp International, Inc.

Destiny Camp International, Inc. is a camp for people who can’t swim and are afraid of the water. We begin teaching kids at 6months with our infant/mommy/daddy class. We teach children and adults of all ages. We don’t only teach swimming lessons, but we also teach poolside safety. We are a Red Cross certified water safety swim camp, and if you plan on being a lifeguard, then you should give us a call. At the beginning of the classes, we show different videos about swimming safety and also about swimming techniques.

Destiny Camp International, Inc. is a growing aquatic program. We are Red Cross Certified in CPR, Lifeguarding Instruction, and Water Safety Instructor for the Learn To Swim Program. Destiny Camp began doing teaching swimming instructions after Hurricane Katrina. Many people lost there lives during this disaster because of fear of the water and the inability to respond to the dangers of high waters. Statistics show that African Americans and Hispanics have a high rate of drownings than other nationalities. DCI is dedicated to training today’s culture in water safety and all levels of swimming experience.

Jennifer Simms, Founder of Destiny Camp International, Inc., has a passion for the children and youth of the 21 st Century generation. Swimming provides great disciplines and respect for our water environment.

The program provides parent-child training, children and adult swimming instruction, CPR, Lifeguarding, and a Junior Lifeguarding Program. We are an authorized provider for the American Red Cross.
