Super Swimming with Kristen Bowers

Swimming is a skill that is of great fun and value through all of life. It's critical for the lifetime skill of being safe in and around water and is a gateway to lots of fun and is a terrific form of exercise!

One on one lessons mean I can help your child from exactly how they are swimming, catering to their strengths and learning style. We can take gentle, small steps or move more quickly depending on the child. Adults and those with special needs are heartily welcomed. Heaps of encouragement is used and some incentives as well (like Hot Wheels cars, Galactic Slime, mini-stuffed animals, but not candy. With some kids incentives go a long way to genuinely help them learn to be safe in the water.)

My name is Kristen Bowers and this is my thirteenth year teaching at the McKay's Mill Pool. I've enjoyed working with hundreds of wonderful children and parents here.  I've learned a lot about teaching kids from 30+ years of teaching music lessons during the school season. I've been in swim team, Masters Swimming and have swam laps consistently for over 35 years - it's great exercise! I've also learned a lot about teaching, motivating and being patient with kids from 30+ years of teaching music lessons.

Age 4 and above is a great time to start 1:1 lessons. For younger students, age 2-3, we can do Private Lessons or Parent/Child classes (the cost is the same) where I guide you through what you can work with your child. For this age, please see the website section on Swim Lessons age birth - 3 for more information.

Most of my lessons are 45 min which enable us to cover more ground per lesson or to communicate longer with parents especially on how you can help your child learn (30min is also available).
