this was a few years ago but i am only now adding my review. despite paying for multiple lessons in advanced, katrina disappeared on us one summer. did not reply to phone calls or emails. we were very concerned that something happened to her. my daughter was very distraught. then a year or two later, we saw her instructing another kid our building's pool. i spoke with her and it turns out her grandmother passed away and she had to fly back to europe. it is completely understandable and forgivable to disappear due to a family emergency but the fact that she never returned any of our calls or texts was extremely unprofessional. we still had a few lessons remaining but instead of refunding us the money, all that time later, she said to call or text her to set-up a time for the missing lessons. of course those calls/texts went...
