What Parents Say

Here's what parents have to say...

"Kathy is a superb, skilled and sensitive teacher. With the patience of a saint, she builds both technique and assurance. She turned our hesitant 7-year-old into a confident and capable swimmer."
-- Noah's dad, Jon Anderson

"Kathy, just wanted to let you know again what a great time Mo has with you...he really loves swimming and you.  You are a great teacher, the way you connect with the children, it makes them want to work hard for you and I see how much joy Mo has at being challenged with you."
 --With Gratitude, Dawn Ream

“Thank you so much for such a fun and successful session of swim lessons for Michael!  Who would have guessed that only a few short weeks ago he was terrified to get his face wet... and now he is becoming a little fish!  With his fear of submersion, I never could have imagined that he would be begging me to take him swimming everyday so he can practice what you've taught him.  The yurt pool is such a calm, relaxing and safe environment and it was the perfect place for Michael to finally be able to overcome this hurdle. 

"You have a special gift of making people want to work as hard as they can, but still leaving them begging for MORE!  I especially appreciate the way you talk to my son, explaining things in a way he can understand and not "talking down" to him just because he is a child.  This respect for him as a person was undoubtedly a huge part of his success.  I feel such a sense of relief knowing Michael is finally going to be able to be safe in and around water.  Thank you, again, for sharing your special talents with us! “

" Gabriel told me on the way over that swimming class felt the same as getting a new toy!"
--Laura Kessler

"Kathy, 
Otis loved his lesson last night, to the point of singing your name through dinner - trying to figure out how to go swimming every day!"
--Terra Lively
