Hello my name is Kirsten and I have taught swimming lessons since 2006, and private lessons since 2008. I have worked at many municipalities over the years, as well as the YMCA. I am also certified to teach Bronze Medallion, Bronze Cross as well as WSI. I am a clinician who trains fellow staff on the intricacies of higher level strokes as well as considerations for adult learners. I have always had a love of teaching as well as swimming. My goal is to see growth and enjoyment throughout the lessons I teach! I have worked with many who have overcome fear and discomfort, and I find real pleasure in creating a safe and patient learning environment. Over the years, I have taught not only Red Cross but other lesson programs as well. This has given me the opportunity to use drills and approaches not found in Red Cross. I will use all my resources to create a personalized experience that aligns with your personal goals! Look forward to working with you! *I strongly suggest that students bring a pair of goggles and, if you have long hair, a swim cap to keep your hair out of your face*
Located in the heart of Port Moody, just moments from the skytrain with ample street parking is a warm, family friendly pool perfect for children learning to swim and adults looking to advance their skills. The shallow side has a ladder for entry and is great for young children and beginning swimmers at 3 feet deep. A subtle slope leading to the deepest part of the pool at 8 feet is great to practice more advanced skills. With a brand new heater installed, the pool is kept at 86F (30C) perfect for those just learning to swim. We have a newly renovated bathroom right off the pool deck and pool deck changing pods for those who want to change quick before and after lessons. Shower available upon request.
Pool access details are provided after you book.
