Hi! I’m Kristina — an airline pilot, competitive athlete, and swim instructor with 13 years of experience helping both kids and adults become safer and more confident in the water.
Before becoming an airline pilot, I actually used my swim lesson business to fund my entire flight training from 2016–2019. Teaching swimming has always been something I genuinely love, and now while taking a temporary break from the airlines to pursue training for the CrossFit Games, I’m excited to return to working with families and students again.
My approach is energetic, patient, safety-focused, and confidence-building. I understand that every swimmer learns differently, especially young children or nervous beginners. My goal is to create an environment where students feel encouraged, comfortable, and excited to improve — whether that means learning basic water safety, overcoming fear, refining stroke technique, or building endurance.
A little about me:
• Airline pilot by trade
• Competitive CrossFit athlete
• Former swim school owner/operator
• Passionate about health, movement, and helping people grow
Certifications:
• Red Cross Lifeguard Certified
• YMCA / Red Cross Water Safety Instructor
• NASM Certified Personal Trainer
• CPR Certified
I offer:
• Private swim lessons
• Beginner to advanced instruction
• Water safety training
• Stroke development
• Kids and adults welcome
• Positive, personalized coaching
I truly believe swimming is one of the most important life skills a person can learn — and I’d love to help you or your child build confidence in the water while making lessons fun and engaging.
