Phoenix Swim Lessons
About Katie
My name is Katie and I have been a fish all my life! I grew up competing in synchronized swimming and diving teams and now have started competing in triathlons. Because of my experience around the water I am a huge advocate for water safety. There are so many ways to help prepare your child with water safety skills.
After competing I became a lifeguard and worked for the city of Phoenix teaching lessons for all ages and coaching. I worked at the YMCA for a season and now prefer doing private lessons where I can give more direct attention to these kiddos. During the year I am a speech therapist in an elementary school and feel like my strengths are in relating to children and my patience with those kids who really need extra help.
I believe in giving a child confidence in what they can do and slowly challenging them to get better and better in swimming and in everything they do! Hope to swim with you soon!
About Sydney
I love the water and I love to swim. As a native of Phoenix, swimming has always been the center of my summer, and as a result, I am addicted to the water.
I have over 5 years experience including being the captain of my high school swim team, a lifeguard, water aerobics instructor, swim coach and swim teacher, not to mention that fact that I too was a swim lesson participant, so I know what it's like to be in that situation. I think that teaching a child how to swim is vital, not only for safety reasons, but it's also a skill that will last a lifetime.
Water safety is my number one priority and having fun in the water is a close second. I like to teach with songs and games so that children know that swimming is fun. Take advantage of the summer heat and make it an enjoyable summer in the water. I look forward to swimming with you.
