Miss Kate! We just love, love, love her! She’s been with my daughter pretty much the most. She was able to work through her stubborn self and wanting to roll to get her to finally do her first float! She was patient and listened to our direction on how hard we wanted to push our daughter. She’s sweet, patient, and firm as well.
Here’s more videos! Our first slide adventure
Our daughter excels with the vertical so wonderfully!
Slide again!
She must protest having to go off the wall but she’s made progress. She at least reaches out for Kate now whereas before she would just shake her head “no”
Working on confusion! She shows her skills the best because we know she can’t predict what’s next but still recovers!
Swim lessons aren’t always perfect even after a child is classified as a safe swimmer. Our daughter has “off” days and this was one of them. They tend to come out of nowhere and are far and few. It’s hard to watch but I trust the instructor. Kate knows how much she can push and when to intervene. Keep in mind this is a very short snippet.
I love Kate for my sons' instructor. She is understanding of his mood day to day and what will help him best. She pushes him and encourages him along the way. I know he feels comfortable and safe with her even when he doesn't want to swim that day. She's amazing and we love her!
Kate has been a miracle worker with our very stubborn two year old. She exerts grace under pressure and has been thoughtful and creative in her approach. We are amazed at our son’s abilities and have Kate to thank for that. She’s wonderful!
We absolutely love Kate! She is the perfect combination of kind and firm with a strong attention to detail. Both my kids went from not being able to float to working on strokes in less than a year. She is very good at analyzing their strokes and helping them constantly improve. Kate is simply AMAZING!!
We love Kate! My son is very shy and stubborn at times but Kate has been able to connect with him and help him learn to be safe in the water! I love seeing the progress he’s made over the past 9 months!
Kate seriously is amazing. When we first came to her 5 months ago Piper would cry the entire time. Kate was still able to work with her and teach her while she screamed her way through each lesson. Here we are now and she is so excited about every aspect of swimming & getting in the pool!
My son is 36 lessons in and today was our first lesson with Kate. She was awesome! My son is really struggling with his float and I feel like Kate really pushed him today. I really liked her approach because at this point I feel like my son needs a little tough love. He is very resistant but I know he can do it. I would really like to see him have his breakthrough lesson and I feel like Kate pushed him in that direction . I hope we can have more lessons with her in the future.
Swimming with Kate is my boys favorite part of the week. She is so kind to them and adapts to their very different personalities. I love knowing they are safe around water.
Kate has been a miracle worker
with my son! He protested floating for months until we finally started with kate she transformed him in a matter of lessons! If your kid is stubborn then Kate is the gal for you! 🙂
We absolutely love Miss Kate!!!! My 4 year old daughter instantly bonded with Kate. My 4 year old will tell me all the time at she wants to grow up to be just like Kate. Kate is extremely patient but knows how to get my daughter to focus during the lesson. She gives my daughter a confidence boost while also correcting her technique. Kate has been the perfect teacher for my 4 year old.
When we signed up for lessons last summer we got Kate because she had a random availability and I haven’t looked back. She was exactly who my overly confident, very chatty, 4 year old needed. Watching her work with my daughter has been a true pleasure. She pushes her exactly when it’s needed and reads the moods and sets the expectations for that day so that my daughter feels successful. We love Kate! And when our new baby is big enough, he will definitely start lessons with her as well!
Kate is the best. She has been instructing my daughter for about a year now. Wren is much more confident in the water and looks forward to her lessons with Kate.
