Christine Taylor

It is no surprise that I love to work with children in the water; I come from a family of swimming instructors! My daughter works here at Making Waves and my son swam Lake Ontario. I’ve taught 1000’s of kids to swim. I believe by teaching a child to swim you can make a positive difference in their lives. That’s why I love my job! See you little fish in the pool!
