Instructors
We strive to maintain a cadre of well trained instructors. Whenever possible, instructors are WSI certified. Intern instructors are also used when needed.

Instructors are evaluated by our patrons and management staff regularly. The NK pool’s expectation for swimming lessons is: #1-Safe, #2-Fun, and #3-Educational. The instructors are expected to be caring, supportive, enthusiastic, and encouraging.
