We had the absolute pleasure of working with Kristina as a swim instructor for our two children, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the very first lesson, she was incredibly professional, punctual, and completely dedicated to helping our kids become confident, capable swimmers. Kristina has a wonderful way with children—patient, encouraging, and always attuned to their individual needs. She made every session productive and fun, striking the perfect balance between learning and enjoyment. The progress our kids made under her instruction was truly remarkable. She is worth every penny and more—an absolute gem in the world of swim instruction. If you're looking for someone who is not only skilled but also passionate about what she does, Kristina is the best of the best. We feel so lucky to have found her!

Kristina is very skilled at teaching swimming and has a very sharp eye in correcting faults. She explains why her corrections will result in improvement in a way that is easily understandable.

Kristina was great! She helped my son gain confidence in swimming and helped him overcoming his fears with getting his face wet.

Highly recommend Kristina! My son was very uncomfortable in the water but from the minute he met Kristina he trusted her. She made him feel comfortable and safe. He learned a lot in a short period of time.
