Hi, Im Katherine! Im passionate about helping swimmers build confidence in the water while creating a fun, supportive, and safe learning environment. As a collegiate student-athlete with over 5 years of competitive swimming experience, Ive developed strong communication, leadership, and teamwork skills that I bring into every lesson. I have experience teaching swim and water safety lessons to both children and adults of all abilities. Working with a wide range of students has taught me how to adapt my teaching style to fit each swimmers individual needs and help them feel comfortable and encouraged in the water. In addition to teaching, Ive worked as a lifeguard, which strengthened my ability to stay calm under pressure and always prioritize safety.

Hi! My name is Katie and I have been teaching swim lessons since February 2018 after swimming competitively for 10 years. I have experience teaching students ages 6 months to adulthood, from just learning water comfort all the way to swim team prep. Ive worked with many differently abled students (cerebral palsy, autism, etc.) and find joy when I can find a lesson adaptation that suits them. My teaching style tends to be connection-based and student-centered. I push students to grow at their natural pace, slowing down and speeding up in response to their budding confidence and skills in the water. I pride myself on my ability to help a fearful student become a strong swimmer through consistent practice, support, and play. I hope to meet you soon!
