"Leslie Kragt possesses the rare and almost suspicious ability to make brutally difficult swim workouts feel… enjoyable. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, endlessly encouraging, and somehow always has multiple solutions for fixing a stroke issue that you were absolutely convinced was unfixable. Leslie keeps practices fun, lighthearted, and engaging even while your arms are quietly ready to quit. Most importantly, her encouragement is genuine, constant, and contagious. . ."

"If you are looking to refine stroke techniques while increasing your confidence in the water and having fun, Coach Leslie is the best choice. Thanks to her expert's eye, I was able to improve my forms including how to dive jump and build better body awareness. She taught me effective drills to strengthen my catch/pull and breathing in freestyle. I successfully completed my first half Ironman race and feel so much stronger in the water now. She is full of patience and passion when coaching. I can't recommend her highly enough."

"I have learned SO much from Leslie!   Her enthusiasm and encouragement from the pool deck have given me the confidence to try to new things.   She has taken the time to get to know my swim story so is able to tailor her coaching to the goals I have as a masters swimmer.   

Her passion for coaching is evident in the joy she brings to each practice and makes me look forward to each and every workout with her!"
