Hi, I'm Katherine! I've been instructing with Propel for over 5 year and prior to that, I've been instructing and lifeguarding with the City of Toronto for 2 years, as well as volunteering with the Disabled Sailing Association of Ontario for 4 years. My specialties include working with children with disabilities and AquaFit. I love helping kids feel more confident in the water while making sure it's the highlight of their day. Every child learns swimming in a different manner so I tailor each lesson to individual learning styles and swimming goals. I always try to find the right balance between swimming technique, endurance, and fun in my lessons! I have also taught many adult swimmers ranging in swimming ability. From those who have never had a swimming lesson in their life to those who are perfecting their swim technique, I make sure to communicate with my swimmers to know what their goals are and set up a realistic timeframe to reach them. I have helped many beginner adult swimmers start their journey in swimming and for some, overcome their fear of the water; I ensure you feel 100% safe in the water while challenging you little by little out of your comfort zone at your own pace to help you feel confident in the water. Additionally, I have also helped swimmers train for fitness tests and triathlons (I've completed a triathlon before as well). Throughout my teaching career, I have taught well over 400 students of different ages and abilities. Personally, I have also been swimming since a very young age and later joined my school swim team to swim competitively. If you're looking for someone to teach swimming with an emphasis on proper stroke technique, you know where to find me! I look forward to meeting you all! If you've made it down here, thank you for reading :) Last updated: February 19th, 2024

Where I Teach

This warm penthouse pool is an incredible facility that's conveniently located right on Bloor St. in Yorkville. Enjoy free wifi and towel service along with a quaint outdoor deck which faces a private courtyard below with the Toronto skyline just visible along the horizon. This pool is great for beginner and intermediate swimmers of all ages.
