We have nothing but wonderful things to say about Catherine. We feel very lucky to have had her as our daughter’s swimming instructor. With Catherine as her instructor, Simine went from being afraid of putting her head in the water to diving for toys and diving into the pool. Simine is now very confident in the water and Catherine helped her enjoy swimming by mixing fun play time with swimming instruction. Catherine was always firm but gentle, never pushing Simine too much but also ensuring that she did what she needed to do to learn how to swim. I would absolutely recommend Catherine as a swimming instructor, especially for young children.
