I am offering swim lessons sessions for kiddos who are 3 (by Jan 1, 2021) and up. About me: Hi! I am Katharine. I'm 33 years old. I grew up teaching with my mom when I was between the ages of 7-10. I swam competitively as a child. I began teaching again after college. In 2012, I was trained by Holly Self to teach s

wimming lessons. I am also Lifeguard Instructor certified, which includes CPR, First Aid, AED. I have taught lessons at Lifetime Fitness, the Kroc Center, and Memphis Country Club, where I was the Aquatics Director for 2 years. I now teach out of my parents home. After years of debating on whether I should jump in and teach full time, the time has finally come. This summer I am going to be teaching lessons all summer long beginning in May. My favorite thing about teaching is to help each student learn to overcome their fear, learn to trust themselves and their teacher, learn to take healthy risks and experience freedom. There is nothing better than watching each student have their light bulb moment and all the pieces fall into place. Their big smiles say everything when they learn to swim!

MEMPHIS SWIM LESSONS

Registration instructions

Please read through them 😊 I am so thankful for each of you. I get to do what I love because you trust me without children. I do not take that lightly. I am forever grateful to the new and returning faces each summer.

1. When you have chosen a week and time, please text me 901-828-9810 to confirm that the spot you would like is available and the correct level for your swimmer. Please do NOT MESSAGE ME ON INSTAGRAM. I’ve missed messages too often and I don’t want to miss you. Please please please TEXT me.
2. Once we have confirmed, you must pay in full to confirm your spot. Spots are limited and I always have a waitlist, I cannot hold your spot without your payment.
3. My Venmo is Katharine-Allen *it is $200 for the weeks session*
4. After you have paid, please email me at [email protected] with your name and your swimmers name. That is how I will be communicating and sending registrations forms out in the coming weeks.
5. When all of this is finished, you are signed up and the spot is yours!! 🎉
6. I cannot wait to see you all so soon!

How to determine what level your child should be in

1. If they have never had lessons, cannot swim by themselves without support or a lifejacket, or and cannot swim independently with their face in the water while holding their breath and kicking- THEY ARE LEVEL 1 😊

2. If they CAN swim 5-7 ft independently with no support from an adult or lifejacket with their face in the water while kicking a small fast kick (think Olympic swimmers kick small and fast for visual reference) but they cannot get a breath yet and do not know how to use their arms correctly yet. They can also float on their back independently for 10+ seconds - THEY ARE LEVEL 2

3. If they are able to swim with their face in the water while kicking and know how to blow bubbles and take a breath. Their kick is strong and they are able jump in independently from the side of the pool and swim 10+ feel by themselves without support. They can also float on their back and kick on their back. They are ready to learn freestyle and backstroke- THEY ARE LEVEL 3

When figuring out what level they are it’s is better for their development for you to air on the side of caution and put them in a lower level class than in higher one. It is easier for me to push a child forward in their skills than it is to hold a class back to meet the needs of one student. 😊 If you have questions please feel free to reach out and ask.
Sometimes there is regression from the end of one summer to the next. It’s normal and usually it takes a refresher to get them back to where they were.
