ABOUT ME


GET TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUCTOR

 

With a background in teaching children and adult, both for the city and privately, I bring my love of the water and passion for swimming to every lesson. 

In each lesson, I teach the foundational movements of proper swimming form that build progressively and develop proper technique and form  .  From blowing bubbles to advance stroke mechanics, lessons include breathing, floats and glides, to more advanced skills of stroke mechanics, timing and rhythm.

swiming instructor

As a certified swimming instructor with experience teaching both the Ultra swim program and Swimmer 1-6 levels, each swimming lessons includes the foundational swimming skills recognized by the Lifesaving Society.

Each lessons build progressively on each skill to develop muscle memory and a feel for the water through targeted drills, corrective feedback and structured practice workouts. 

 

My Experience

Growing up on the shore of Lake Huron, I’ve been swimming from a young age for fun and for fitness. Being a swimming instructor combines my love for the water and learning. I enjoy helping swimmers of all ages to develop their swimming ability.

Meet Your Goals

Whether you want to cross swimming off your bucket list, overcome a fear of the water, or improve your current technique, I meet you where you are and build from your existing skills to help you progress quickly and meet your personal swimming goals.

my approach

Integrating games, songs and toys, I look for creative ways to engage young swimmers  as a way to grow their confidence in the water, build trust and develop their swimming skills. I help students over come their fears and develop into a proficient  swimmer.

“I now feel very relaxed and safe in water and it’s incredible how much your lessons have helped me grow. I’m excited to continue learning how to swim and I owe my success to you. You’re such an amazing swim instructor and you taught me to trust myself. I was able to try my best to swim from the deep end to shallow and although there was a hiccup, I’m so happy that I tried and I know that in any case at least I can survive which makes swimming a lot less daunting.”

“Kate is a fantastic swim instructor and great with kids, she immediately connected with my daughter. Throughout the lesson she seamlessly transitioned between playful age appropriate activities to keep my daughter engaged, while assessing her skills and readiness to take on new challenges. For the first time, my daughter wanted to stay at the pool when our time was up!”
