Zaina Smith
Zaina is a military wife and mother to two amazing girls. She is a Florida native who grew up in the Tampa Bay Area. Zaina holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Biomedical Sciences from the University of South Florida and previously worked in the medical field.
Her family has been part of the Watch Me Swim family since 2021 when she enrolled her first child in lessons with Ms. Kari at just 9 months old. Her second daughter is now taking lessons at 14 months old. Growing up in Florida, Zaina understands how frequently families are around beaches, pools, and other bodies of water.
After seeing the incredible life-saving skills her daughter learned through lessons, Zaina developed a strong passion for water safety. Inspired by the impact of the program, she is excited to help teach children essential water safety and self-rescue skills.
Zaina teaches lessons out of an apartment pool in the Brandon/Tampa area and may also travel to private pools depending on availability.
