Katie's News

May is one of our favorite months at Katie’s Kickers. The sun is staying out longer, the air is warming up, and we are officially moving back to our outdoor heated pool! But May also carries a very important title: National Water Safety Month.

If you’ve lived in Hampton Roads for a few seasons, you know that April is the month when everything suddenly blooms. But it’s not just the azaleas at the Norfolk Botanical Garden that are reaching for the sun, your kids are likely doing the same!

In Norfolk, we all know the March Mood. One morning we’re enjoying a sunny stroll through the Chrysler Museum Gardens, and by the afternoon, those gray Atlantic clouds have rolled in, bringing another week of chilly spring rain.

As the temperatures drop in Norfolk this January, it’s easy to think that water safety is a "summer-only" concern. However, at Katie’s Kickers, we believe that being water-aware is a year-round responsibility.

As we ring in the New Year here in Virginia, summer feels like a distant dream. While we’re currently reaching for thick coats and scarves, the warm days of poolside gatherings and beach trips to the Eastern Shore will be here before we know it.

As the days get shorter and the Virginia air turns crisp, many families notice a shift in energy and mood.

As the weather cools and the days get shorter, it’s common for children to lose a little motivation when it comes to swimming lessons.

As we move into September, it’s the perfect time for young swimmers to set new goals and build on the skills they’ve learned over the summer. At Katie’s Kickers, every lesson is an opportunity for children to gain confidence, improve technique, and develop a lifelong love of swimming.

As Hampton Roads families swap beach days for backpacks, many parents are focused on easing their kids into new school-year routines.
