Thank you for having Ms. Kristi as our 5-year-old daughter’s swimming instructor. She has been incredibly patient and thoughtful, always willing to adjust her approach to find the best way to guide children to learn and truly enjoy being in the water.
Thanks to her encouragement and teaching style, we’ve happily extended our lessons from 45mins to 90mins at each time now. It’s been such a joy to see our daughter grow more confident, do so well, and genuinely fall in love with swimming.
We really appreciate Ms. Kristi’s dedication and care.

My daughter’s swimming teacher is highly professional and responsible. In just six classes, my daughter successfully learned two swimming strokes under her guidance. The lessons were well-structured and effective, helping my daughter build confidence and skills quickly. We are very pleased with the progress and overall quality of the classes.

We absolutely love Kristi (aka Kricket)! She's been working with both of our daughters, and we couldn't be happier with their progress.
Our older daughter already knew how to swim, but Kricket has been helping her refine her technique and build stronger skills -- and the improvement has been amazing. Our younger daughter, on the other hand, started off very hesitant in the water, but Kricket has been so patient, kind, and encouraging. She's helping her gain confidence little by little, and it's been wonderful to watch her become more comfortable each week.
Kricket truly has a special way with kids -- she makes lessons fun, positive, and perfectly tailored to each child's level. We couldn't recommend her more highly!
