Swim lessons with Brooke K.

Hi there, thanks for checking out my profile! Please have a read-through to learn more about me and what I offer in my lessons. A bit about me: I started my swim career at 7 years old with the Mission Marlins Summer Swim Club, eventually I wanted to be more competitive and transitioned to the Chilliwack Spartans Winter Swim Club at 12. I continued my swimming career after receiving a scholarship to swim and study at the University of Lethbridge where I have now graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology. My best strokes are butterfly and freestyle! I started coaching with the Lethbridge Amateur Swim Club in 2017 where each school year I worked with their Jr Horns and/or Masters programs. While home in the summer of 2019, I returned to the Mission Marlins as a coach and returned for another year with them as Assistant Head Coach in 2021. In 2022 I had the opportunity to be the Head Coach of the Agassiz-Harrison Aquanauts while also lifeguarding and instructing with the District of Kent. I continued as Head Coach and lifeguard through the following 2023 season. Since the end of the 2023 summer season, I joined an organization called AquaStar, where I taught private lessons for kids with special needs. There was a wide range of unique needs for each swimmer I worked with and over this time, I learned valuable skills and techniques. I am now confident incorporating these skills and techniques in all the teaching I do in order to provide the best possible support for any swimmer I work with. I have since transitioned to becoming a Lifeguard and Instructor with the City of Mission Leisure Centre alongside continuing to offer my custom lessons here with Propel. What I offer: I specialize in competitive training, stroke efficiency, introduction to swimming skills, and swimming for behavioural and therapeutic needs. With my understanding of the water and the body, I offer in-depth lessons for swimmers to learn skills and gain an understanding of exactly what they’re doing and why. I can break down skills and strokes at a pace unique to each swimmer’s needs while maintaining a safe and fun learning environment. Please feel free to reach out with any information or questions. I look forward to working with you!
