AQUATICS

Meet Tayvia Ruvane Tayvia is the new Aquatics Manager for the Sanibel Recreation Center. Hi everyone! My name is Tayvia Ruvane, and I’m so excited to join the Sanibel Recreation Team. I’m originally from the beautiful state of Alaska, but I recently traded in the snow for Florida sunshine—and I couldn’t be happier to start this new adventure!

I’ve been working in aquatics for over 13 years, and I’ve had the privilege of teaching and coaching swimmers of all ages and abilities. Whether it’s teaching kids how to swim, helping adults feel more confident in the water, or coaching athletes to reach their goals, I love being part of people’s journey with swimming. I’m a certified lifeguard, lifeguard instructor, and water safety instructor, and I’m passionate about keeping the water fun, safe, and welcoming for everyone. Some of the highlights of my career include working with Special Olympics athletes in both Alaska and Florida. I’ve even had the incredible honor of being selected twice to coach Special Olympics teams and represent Alaska at the USA Games in 2018 and 2022. Those experiences were unforgettable and reminded me how swimming can truly bring people together and change lives. Oh, and one fun fact about me—I’ve also completed a half Ironman, so I know what it’s like to push yourself toward big goals! I can’t wait to get to know the Sanibel community and help you all make the most of your time in the water, whether it’s learning to swim, sharpening your skills, or just enjoying everything aquatics has to offer. Please don’t hesitate to say hi—I’m looking forward to meeting you! Let’s make this an amazing journey together! How to Make Water Safety a Priority Read below an excerpt from the American Red Cross regarding water safety tips Use Layers of Protection In & Around Water Even if lifeguards are present, you (or another responsible adult) should stay with your children. Be a “water watcher” – provide close and constant attention to children you are supervising; avoid distractions including cell phones. Teach children to always ask permission to go near water. Children, inexperienced swimmers, and all boaters should wear U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets. Take specific precautions for the water environment you are in, such as: Fence pools and spas with adequate barriers, including four-sided fencing that separates the water from the house. At the beach, always swim in a lifeguarded area. Learn more by clicking here.

Healthy Heart Month 2025

Highlighting American Heart Month: Sanibel Recreation Center's Annual Initiative The Sanibel Recreation Center celebrates American Heart Month annually by urging everyone to engage in activities that promote a healthy heart.

Understanding Blood Pressure Readings

It's important to know your blood pressure numbers, as they may indicate that you have high blood pressure, also known as hypertension. Your blood pressure can be read by two numbers, the American Heart Association states, “Your blood pressure is recorded as two numbers: Systolic blood pressure (the first number) – indicates how much pressure your blood is exerting against your artery walls when the heart contracts. Diastolic blood pressure (the second number) – indicates how much pressure your blood is exerting against your artery walls while the heart muscle is resting between contractions.” Click here to learn more.

Chart courtesy of American Heart Association click here to read more.

It is important to learn and recognize the Heart Attack Warning Signs. The American Heart Association states that some of the warning signs may be, “ Chest discomfort. Most heart attacks involve discomfort in the center of the chest that lasts more than a few minutes – or it may go away and then return. It can feel like uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain. Discomfort in other areas of the upper body. Symptoms can include pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach. Shortness of breath. This can occur with or without chest discomfort. Other signs. Other possible signs include breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea or lightheadedness. Click here to learn more. The Importance of Early Detection Get Your Blood Pressure Checked For FREE!
