Kris is very easy going and easy to work with. He is very enthusiastic about swimming and enjoys being in the water. This enthusiasm is contagious. You can tell he loves teaching and is very interested in creating a safe learning environment. My daughter is 2 1/2 yrs old and was shy at first when she met Kris, but by the end of the lesson she felt safe and was very excited to swim with Kris and do the "tiger crawl". I would highly recommend Kris as a swim instructor.

I got a couple of surfing lessons from Kris. He knows about all surfing breaks around San Diego. I surfed a couple of times in my life but I had never stood up on a board before. The second lesson I had from him, I was able to get up on a board and actually surfed!! It was a great feeling. He watched me every little detail what I did wrong and then he advised what could be better. He was a fun and very friendly person.

I do all I can to keep my price as low as I can. Every day is on sale . I feel it's fair that way. I'm not going to retire on one job.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Ask a lot l of auestions, so I have a good grasp of what they are after. And what they expect from me. Also at the same time I can see how comfortable in the water they are.

I*m CPR an EMT trained for fire dept. Coast guard. An life guard. I am an all around water man. I like teaching-!
