Kristie has worked miracles with our daughter Payton in the water. Payton started taking swimming lessons with Kristie when she was 4 years old. Payton was fearful of the water, so much so that she would not even put her face in the water. Payton has been with Kristie for almost one year now and has been taking lessons two to four times a month.
Payton's progress is very exciting for us to watch. She now has no fear of the water, but instead has a love and respect for the water. Payton is coordinating her back stroke beautifully, is working on the breast stroke with much progress, can perform the survival float which Payton calls "the marble" and she can calmly float on her back when fatigued in the water. We feel that safety has been a huge focus and that is important to us as parents. Swimming lessons with Kristie are priceless!
