"Karissa is an unbelievable swim instructor and really makes children feel safe and secure in the water. We are so grateful we met Karissa and for all the techniques she has taught our daughter."

— Rebecca, Mother of Sydney

"Learning to swim wouldn’t have been possible without the guidance of Karissa. As an adult learner, her balance of encouraging my strengths and strengthening my weaknesses made it easy to push myself and continue through lessons. What I’ve gained has been priceless."

— Diana Jean-Jacques, MSN, RN-BC

"Karissa is an amazing trained instructor who masterly holds your attention with her competent soothing voice, while teaching young and old the skills needed to successfully learn to swim, including safety prevention in the water."

— Bill & Vicki F.

"Karissa is very much in tune with my daughters fears and capabilities. She beautifully challenges my daughter while helping her to feel safe and proud of her abilities. When my daughter hit a stuck point in her swimming growth, Karissa spoke to me about it professionally. We then collaborated to move her beyond. I would recommend Karissa without hesitation."

— Lisa, LCSW, Mother of Ella

"Karissa has the breadth and adaptive skills to customize her lessons to the range of our children’s ages. Our 7-year-old worked with Karissa to improve his technique, form, and stamina. Our 5-year-old experienced a breakthrough moment where she realized she could swim without assistance. Our 2-year-old learned the basics of water safety and increased his comfort level in the water. Karissa is delightful to deal with as a parent; timely and very professional."
