Vicki is a great instructor with extensive knowledge and experience in all aspects of swimming. She always brings a high level of positive energy along with support and encouragement to each lesson. Vicki effectively communicates and demonstrates a range of different types of progressions and drills for swimming strokes as well as deep water skills that facilitate student understanding and learning. She is very committed to the progress and success of her students in reaching their goals in swimming. I would highly recommend Vicki to anyone taking swimming lessons.

Vicki always takes the time to make sure my child is truly absorbing each lesson, practicing the skills he needs to progress and improve. She consistently goes above and beyond. She is very kind and patient. I’m so grateful we found her through Propel.

Vicki made my daughter feel so comfortable in the water. It was a lesson packed with games and fun conversations. My daughter (5 years old) loves Vicki and her approach after her first lesson. Previously, my daughter struggled with group lessons. After just one lesson with Vicki, my daughter left the lesson with tears missing Vicki already… and wanted to go back for more lessons. I am thankful to have meant such an outstanding instructor who is not only passionate about teaching and but with careful focus on helping her students build confidence and skills. See you soon Vicki!

Vicki is a superb teacher, engaging and skilled. She was quick to assess my daughter's abilities and made sure my six-year-old felt comfortable and safe in the water. I saw my child's confidence grow over one lesson. My daughter enjoyed her time with Vicki so much she sat on the pool deck and refused to leave.

I’ve always been a bit nervous in the water, but taking lessons with Vicki completely changed that. From day one, Vicki made me feel comfortable and actually excited to learn. She has this amazing way of breaking things down so they make sense and is super patient - even when I need a million reminders. She took the time to understand my skill level/personal goals and tailors each lessons to fit me perfectly. It’s funny to think i could barely float before my first lesson, and now in just 4 lessons I’m already noticing a lot of improvements. Plus she’s genuinely funny and has an excellent taste in music that keeps lessons fun. Highly recommend her!
