Instructors

I’m Brittany, I am a certified KISS Swim instructor and mom of two girls who completed the program. After seeing how life changing it was for my own children, I was inspired to become an instructor myself. As a lifelong swimmer and mom, I’m passionate about helping little ones build confidence and develop essential water safety skills for their future.
