About
Hello, I'm Christina, I have been teaching swimming for 20 years. When I get in the water, I'm in my element. I enjoy engaging children in learning through play. My mission is to provide students a safe environment, in which they are encouraged to challenge themselves and explore their abilities in the water. Constant positive reinforcement, and a guided discovery method of teaching allows me to empower swimmers. Fun and games foster a life long love of the water and help participants cognize swim skills. Actively proficient in all strokes, I have a knowledge of a variety of drills to strengthen technique and build endurance and confidence, of all ages and experience levels of swimmers that I coach. Excited to learn and teach, I thrive off of the energy my students bring to class. Sparking curiosity in my swimmers, inviting them to become active participants in their learning, and helping students be intuitive in their bodies; makes for the most rewarding collaborations. The challenge of honing my craft to better serve each of my swimmers stimulates me mentally. Students discovering and celebrating their strengths and abilities in the water is super rewarding!

Taking lessons with Christina has been a transformative experience for my seven-year-old, who came in with significant anxiety about swimming after a scary water experience and some not-so-great lessons elsewhere. From literally the first moment, Christina put my child at ease: patiently engaging with every question and concern, talking through every worry, and making sure my kid did not feel forced or rushed. My kid felt so seen and safe. In just a few lessons she has progressed so much with both comfort and skills, but what is most wonderful is how much *fun* she is having! Lessons are playful and joyful, with activities that are genuinely fun while building skills. We signed up for extra lessons because the morning after our first one my kid woke up and the first thing she asked was "when can I go back to swimming?" Christina is a truly gifted teacher: a remarkable blend of patient, playful, calm, adaptable and present. After the first lesson, my kid said to me: "Now that I've met Christina, I know the four things you need for a great swim lesson: 1, listen to the kid; 2, have some flexibility in your plans and go with the flow; 3, make it really fun; 4, have all the materials you need to do that." (My seven-year-old really does talk like this, and she was absolutely right!) I have seen Christina work with kids of various ages, skill levels and needs, and she is equally wonderful with all! I can't recommend her highly enough!

We’ve been so impressed with the progress our kids have made in just a few short months with Christina. Our son is now swimming independently, which has been incredible to watch. Christina is always professional, encouraging, and knows exactly how to guide the kids in a positive way that builds both confidence and skill. Her dedication and approach have made such a difference in their development in swim, and we’re truly grateful for her.
Coach Christina's reply
Thank you so much for your kind words Meredith. It has been a pleasure working with your family.
