Courtney was kind, patient, friendly, and encouraging with my 5-year-old daughter and her friend, and she introduced a variety of skills that were appropriate for their skill levels. They enjoyed their lesson a lot. A+

Courtney is extremely thorough and really patient in teaching you. As an adult with zero to minimal swimming experience, I felt very comfortable learning from her. She breaks it down in small parts which makes the entire experience much better and easier. Made good progress in 1 hour! Thank you Courtney!

She is a good instructor and knows what she is doing. She was accurately able to assess my need, check my technique, and gave good instructions to correct my mistakes.

My 4.5 year old daughter left her first lesson extremely jazzed on swimming. Her comfort level in the water before and after the lesson was night and day. She was so excited about her new skills, Courtney was a great instructor. Looking forward to more lessons with her.

Courtney came highly recommended by our former Propel instructor. Our 7-year old son who is autistic with verbal apraxia sometimes has trouble with instruction that can escalate into little tantrums, but Courtney was extremely patient and assessed his strengths and weaknesses. From there she quickly built a great plan to better his skills for future sessions! Very happy she accepted to take the reins as his new instructor!

Courtney was very encouraging and broke down each element of the stroke. Also, provided excellent feedback on how to improve.
