Hi, I am Kristy, an American Red Cross certified swim instructor. I am also certified as a Neurodiversity Aquatic instructor through Autism Swim. I have been teaching swim lessons since June 2024. I customize each lesson to fit my clients' individual needs and goals. I provide lessons at my own pool, or I can come to yours. I teach all ages and believe it is important, while teaching swimming, to also teach lifelong water safety skills. When I am not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family and practicing Pilates.
