Coach Kristina
Teaching children to swim is truly my passion.
Kristina has been a swim instructor in Loudoun County for 30 years. She grew up in Northern Virginia swimming for local year-round teams and for Broad Run High School, which sparked a lifelong love of the sport.
Her passion is introducing young swimmers to the water and helping them build the confidence, skills and technique to reach the competitive swim team level. Over the years she has worked with swimmers of all ages and abilities, and loves watching beginners grow into strong, confident athletes in and out of the pool.

Coach Torben
I have enjoyed every minute of helping young swimmers grow in confidence and skill.
Torben grew up in Ashburn and started swimming competitively at an early age. His love for the water led him to start teaching swim lessons five years ago.
His favorite part of the job is watching kids learn new skills and finally master the ones they have been working hard on. He keeps lessons fun and encouraging so swimmers feel comfortable, motivated and excited to learn. Out of the pool, you can usually find him on the basketball court.
