COACH KRISTINA
I am a mother of four boys and have been teaching swim lessons in Loudoun County, Virginia for the past 30 years. Growing up in Northern Virginia, I swam competitively for local year-round swim teams as well as Broad Run High School, which helped build my lifelong love for the sport.
Teaching children to swim is truly my passion, especially introducing young swimmers to the water and helping them develop the confidence, skills, and technique needed to progress to the competitive swim team level. I strive to create a positive, encouraging environment where swimmers feel safe, supported, and excited to learn.
Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with swimmers of all ages and abilities, and I love watching children grow from beginner swimmers into strong, confident athletes both in and out of the pool.
COACH TORBEN
I grew up in Ashburn, Virginia and started swimming competitively at an early age. My love for the water naturally led me to begin teaching swim lessons five years ago, and I have enjoyed every minute of helping young swimmers grow in confidence and skill.
One of my favorite parts of teaching is watching children learn new skills and master ones they have been working hard to improve. I strive to create a fun, encouraging environment where swimmers feel comfortable, motivated, and excited to learn.
When I’m not in the pool, you can usually find me on the basketball court!
