Kirsten is an 11/10! She is so great with our 7 year old son. She has helped him make a ton of progress, exactly what we were hoping for from private lessons.

10/10 instructor! She’s fun and enthusiastic! At the same time firm enough to keep my five y/o son’s attention for the hour. He’s learned so much in a few lessons

Kirsten has helped my son grow exponentially in his swimming abilities. He came anxious to get his face/ears wet and just floating to now mastering the many skills he needs to go to the pool independently and successfully with his friends. This is a huge win and Kirsten did it with her valuable experience and her compassionate approach to teaching kids with sensitivities. We are thankful that he forever has this life skill!

Kirsten is an amazing instructor. She has been just wonderful with our two young kids. We were so impressed with her teaching style, friendly attitude, and cheerful personality. Just recently, my wife has also started taking lessons with her, and she can't say enough good things about her! Kirsten, we are really grateful to have connected with you...thank you!

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I am so glad we booked our very first lesson with Kirsten, otherwise we may have never returned. Kirsten was able to create a positive and safe space for my daughters very first swim lesson in life. At nine years old, it is difficult to get her to do anything that she does not want to do, but Kirsten encouraged my daughter to venture outside of her comfort zone and get moving around in the water. Due to time conflicts and ever popular Kirsten's schedule filling up fast, we had to schedule with other instructors. However I would not hesitate to book a lesson with Kiersten in the future.

About Kirsten K.

I'm Kirsten. I've taught swimming lessons since 2006 and private lessons since 2008, working across many municipalities and the YMCA. I'm certified in Bronze Medallion, Bronze Cross, and WSI. I also work as a clinician training fellow staff on higher-level strokes and adult learner considerations.

Teaching philosophy

My goal is to see growth and enjoyment throughout every lesson. I draw on multiple lesson programs beyond Red Cross — including drills and approaches not found in a standard curriculum — to build a personalized experience aligned with your specific goals.

A typical first lesson

I strongly suggest students bring goggles. If you have long hair, a swim cap helps keep it out of your face.
