Staff Profile:Katherine

I’m a certified Personal Trainer and Group Fitness Instructor specializing in strength training and empowering individuals to lead strong, active lives. My approach combines structured strength and endurance coaching with fun, engaging group formats, including cardio kickboxing and yoga, to help people experience intentional movement and build confidence in their bodies. My passion for health and resilience started from my own personal experience: after becoming a mother and navigating the loss of several close family members, I committed to becoming strong, self-reliant, and a positive example for my daughter. For over 6 years, I have helped others do the same, building physical strength, mental clarity and resilience, and creating a lifestyle that supports long-term well-being. I strongly believe movement is essential not just for the body, but for the mind, and I meet every client with compassion, energy, and support. Outside the gym, I’m out hiking, biking, paddleboarding, golfing, skiing, swimming; or spending time with my daughter and our adventurous pack of pets (dog, cat, snake, and fish). I’m here to help you discover your own strength and have fun doing it!

Beginning this Winter, children under 6yrs will not be permitted to register for Swimmer classes, unless they turn 6yrs within the session.

• If your child is under 6yrs, and has previously participated in preschool swimming lessons, please register in preschool levels until they are 6yrs.

• If your child is under 6yrs, but has taken Swimmer lessons with us previously, they will be permitted to continue with the Swimmer levels.

WHY THE CHANGE?

We have observed that children under 6yrs often struggle to meet the skill requirements in Swimmer levels. This change helps ensure that each child is placed in the most developmentally appropriate level to support their confidence and progress in the water. Thank you for understanding as we work to improve our programs for all.

Swim for Life Swimmer Lessons 6-13yrs

This is a challenging 9-level program for school-aged children. Three swimming strokes and three rescue kicks are taught. Fitness is used to build endurance and promote individual success. Water safety skills are integrated into the lessons throughout the session.

Swimmer 1

Swimmers learn unassisted submersions, front and back floats and glides, and roll-over glides. Deep water skills are performed in PFDs.

• Base Layer: Transports moisture off the skin and moves it towards the surface to evaporate (merino wool, synthetic polyester or polypropylene fabrics).

• Mid-layer like fleece: Adds insulation and traps heat to keep you warm.

• Outer Layer: Wind and water resistant.

Stay hydrated

You’ll need to drink lots of water when you are active, even when it’s cold outside.

Some of the criterion to apply for the Jumpstart program includes: • Eligible children are between the ages of 4 and 18 years.

• Eligible children participating in sport and recreation in West Kelowna and Peachland.

• Funding goes to individuals, not to teams.

• Up to $600 per child can be allocated per year.

• Funding should be for a sustained program that lasts a season therefore a one-week camp would not qualify.

• Funding can be provided to the same child for successive seasons, although the goal is that Jump Start continues to fund new children.

• Funding preference is to pay for registration fees with consideration to fund equipment or transportation costs on a case by case basis.

The West Kelowna chapter is made up of organizations that provide sport and recreation opportunities for children in our community including: West Kelowna Recreation and Culture, BGC Okanagan, Westbank First Nations, Kids Sport and the West Kelowna Canadian Tire store.

• Applications are not retroactive and must be submitted before the start of the season.

Canadian Tire Jumpstart has helped give more than 159,573 kids in financial need, the chance to play. Funding is based on the individual child’s financial need. The goal is to help those children who would not have been able to participate in a physical activity without the assistance of the Jumpstart program.

Resilience is more than just an individual’s ability to cope, it also depends on access to supportive environments. The R2 Approach highlights 52 resilience factors, divided into rugged qualities (internal traits like confidence and attitude) and resources (external supports like healthcare or community). Both are essential: inner strength alone isn’t enough without supportive environments. This approach recognizes the shared responsibility of families, schools, and communities in fostering resilience. Our programs use the R2 Approach to help youth strengthen their internal skills and connect with the resources they need to thrive, especially during times of stress or adversity.

A safe, calming environment designed to support youth in managing stress, regulating emotions, and finding moments of peace in their day. This low-stimulation space offers gentle lighting, soothing sensory tools, and quiet corners where youth can feel grounded and secure. Whether it’s through the comfort of a cozy nook with a book, the gentle movement of a yoga ball, or the focus brought by colouring and calming games, every element is thoughtfully chosen to promote emotional regulation, self-expression, and healing. For youth navigating difficult experiences or seeking a moment of calm, the Sensory Room provides a judgment-free space to breathe, reconnect with themselves, and build resilience in a supportive setting.
