I am fully vaccinated and boosted, and possess certificates in American Red Cross WSI, CPR/AED, and First Aid. Hi, my name is Christina, and I have been teaching swimming for 16 years. Swimming is my passion, and I love using play to facilitate learning for children. I prioritize safety for all my students and encourage them to explore their abilities in a positive, supportive environment. Through positive reinforcement and guided discovery, I empower my swimmers and foster a lifelong love of the water.
I am proficient in all strokes and possess knowledge of various drills to enhance technique and build endurance and confidence for swimmers of all ages and abilities. I enjoy learning as much as I enjoy teaching, and love engaging with my students' energy in class. My teaching method is centered on sparking curiosity, encouraging active participation, and promoting body intuition for a rewarding lesson.
Honing my craft to better serve my students is both challenging and rewarding for me. Seeing my students discover and celebrate their strengths and abilities in the water is incredibly gratifying, and fuels our lessons with enthusiasm. The joy on their faces as they swim with big smiles is contagious and makes my job even more fulfilling.

After a long search, we discovered a superb instructor, Christina, who not only taught our son how to swim but also made the lessons enjoyable. Through play, she skillfully trained him in various swimming strokes. Despite our son's ADHD, Christina proved to be an excellent mentor by granting him sufficient autonomy and support during challenging times. We highly endorse Christina as an exceptional instructor!

My three kids are receiving swimming lessons from Christina, and we are thoroughly enjoying our time with her. Christina has a pleasant demeanour and incorporates games, dolphins, and animal noises to make the lessons entertaining. Furthermore, she sings along with my youngest daughter to aid in her learning process, and has expertise in soothing children afraid of the water. We unreservedly recommend her as a swimming instructor to many of our friends.

A Great Instructor for Learners of All Ages
As a senior and lifelong swimmer, I was seeking a teacher to help me refine my strokes and prepare for open water swims. Christina, who had previously taught children at our building's pool, was the perfect instructor for me. With a rubber duck attached to her swim cap, she effortlessly got the kids moving and having fun in the water.
Unlike other teachers I had worked with, I was thrilled that Christina was able to build on my strengths and push me within my physical limits. She even recorded videos of my progress for me to review later, which helped me see what we needed to work on in order to grow.
Christina's teaching approach was clear and detailed, with a focus on breaking down each component of the stroke. Thanks to her guidance, I learned new techniques for improving my timing and mastering the different strokes. This has allowed me to significantly level up my swimming skills in preparation for open water swims.
Sincerely,
Paula K. from NYC
