About Courtney
“Believe. Achieve.”
A competitive swimmer for 14 years (ages 7-21). Coached kids of all ages in all levels. Also worked as an assistant coach. Has a lot of insight on coaching, the water, and swimming experience.
I am also a masters student as well as a fitness influencer.
Coaching Style
While understanding the life of swimming is overwhelming, I break down each skill and learning process step by step to loosen up the pressure and help the swimmers become less intimidated. In order for them to have their attention it is important to observe the pace of how fast the swimmers learn so I know when to enter a new skill.
Certifications
-While studying and swimming in the United States, I’ve picked up lifeguarding as well as CPR certificates.
– KNZB Rescue Skill 2023
Specialities
I find myself more fluent and successful with students who are already advanced and are familiar with being in the deep end of the pool. butterfly and freestyle are the two strokes I am very successful with and successful teaching.
“Every drop of effort creates a ripple of progress.”
