About Kathryn
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION HERE:
Hi! Thanks for checking out the life-enhancing swim skills I have to offer you! I look forward to the opportunity to work with you in reaching your aquatic goals.
I offer year-round, private, individually-tailored swim coaching with a STROKE TECHNIQUE FOCUS for Grown-Ups, Teens and Older Kiddos in Irvine, California and surrounding areas.
I have a lot to say about how amazing the sport of swimming is and how much I enjoy working with my swimmers. From empathically and effectively supporting anxious new swimmers to fine-tuning stroke technique for high-level sports performance in my athletes, my first goal is providing a sense of confidence as awareness of specific body mechanics that are unique to swimming are gained. Skills build in incremental steps and are specifically tailored to each swimmer's evolving aquatic needs and goals.
I look forward to briefly talking with you about your current swimming status and aquatic goals and how I can help you get there in an engaging, interesting and pace-appropriate way.
I coach in Irvine, California. My swimmers come from as far away as L.A. and San Diego. I coach year-round and can travel to your pool, within range.
I look forward to answering any questions you may have about how I can support you in reaching your aquatic goals and have fun along the way!
Best,
Coach Kathryn

Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
As an adult non swimmer with a fear of water, I was looking for someone who has had success with someone like me. Kathryn is a patient instructor but she gently pushes my boundaries to help me achieve my goals. Her approach is methodical and builds upon itself. I would highly recommend her.
Kathryn's ability to connect with me, as a new swimmer who had considerable apprehension about submerging in the water, was unlike any swimming lesson I have observed. I am so glad I took the risk of stepping out of my comfort zone and signed up to work with her! I am now very relaxed and confident in the water and am swimming as if I have done this my whole life. -Great balance of empathic support and correct stroke technique. Thanks for the new sport, Coach!
Coach Kathryn is great. I was not very comfortable with being in the water due to incidents that happen in my past, but she took her time with me and eventually I overcame my fear. She is very patient and professional. I definitely recommend her to everyone learning how to swim.
Very patient, good natured. Made me feel like a natural in the water.
