What families are saying
about their experience with Kendall Bug Mission
I would not have trusted many people with my child in a pool, but felt completely at ease with her being in the water with Katrina. Katrina remains calm and is genuinely kind and caring with children and it makes a big difference. My child loves her and loved learning from her.

Katrina is truly amazing. I enrolled both of my daughters, ages 5 and 18 months. I was so impressed by how quickly they gained confidence in the water and most importantly, learned awareness and respect for water safety. As a mom of three, having children who are safe in the water is incredibly important to me, and it brings so much peace knowing they have these skills. I truly wish we had done this sooner and cannot wait for refresher courses. Katrina is the best and such a joy to be around!

1 am very impressed with this method so far and amazed at how quickly my little is learning new skills. The daily repetition helps with their muscle memory and helps them pick it up quickly. He still is crying during the lessons which is hard to watch but seeing him progress so quickly and floating on his own and rolling back on his own is showing me that this is all worth it for his safety!
