“My daughter has progressed in her swimming skills every class that she participates in. Her confidence in the water has grown in a short time. Kelly truly teaches kids to be confident in the water. Not only is she teaching swimming, but she is saving lives.” ~Jennifer White
I learned to swim at 6 months old and spent my summers playing in pools, lakes, and the ocean. I was a competitive swimmer in my teens and have been a life guard, assisted with swim team coaching, and have taught swimming confidence lessons. Most recently I have completed all 3 levels of Aguahara training and I am developing courses incorporating aquatic dance, aguahara, human connection, & play.
I often describe my experience in life as being a water creature trapped in a land creature body; I am much more at ease in water than I am on land.
I love to help people gain confidence in water by easing anxiety, and offering stroke work to make movements more efficient.

"I was thrilled to find out that someone was finally offering swim lessons in Mount Shasta. I was even more thrilled after my girls (3 and 4) had their first lesson. Kelly was pateint, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Just tonight, I overheard my girls helping each other do the back float while taking their bath! Thanks Kelly! " ~ Paula Braugh
