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.
