WELCOME TO FLUTTER SWIM ACADEMY

Our story Our owner, Kristin Boyd, is a mother to two young adult children and has been a Denton resident since 1980. She is a 1997 graduate of Ryan High School and graduated from University of North Texas in 2001 with a degree in Criminal Justice and a minor in Sociology. Kristin has been in the mortgage industry for over 20 years and has helped thousands of homebuyers throughout her career and continues to help customers obtain home ownership throughout the year. Kristin's customer service shines through in her mortgage business as well as in her swimming lessons business. In the Summer of 2021, when the market turned a corner, Kristin decided she wanted to go back to her roots of helping children learn to swim and more importantly, teach safety to children in and around the water. When she was in 5th grade, she was visiting her family in Minnesota when a 2 year old almost drowned in a hotel pool, Kristin was there at the right time and place to save this little girl from drowning. It was at an early age when her passion for helping others learn to swim became very apparent. Kristin started swimming competitively at the age of 6 years old. She swam on the Denton summer swim team every summer until college. She was on the Denton High School swim team her freshman and sophomore year of High School. During the summer, she taught swimming lessons, along with her sister Kim. They taught in their parents backyard throughout high school and through the early years of college. In 2021, Kristin began teaching lessons again in her own back yard. Since 2021, she has taught hundreds of kids to swim and that number continues to grow! We have three locations, which are located in residential backyards in South Denton, Corinth and Lantana. We can also accommodate private lessons in your own backyard, please contact us for price and availability. Our instructors are excited about our 2025 summer season. We look forward to teaching your little one to swim (or maybe even you)! Happy Swimming and God Bless! Your Flutter Swim Academy Family

  • "As a mom, there is nothing worse than watching your child struggle to learn what so many of their peers already know how to do. We put Luke is multiple swim lessons-group, semi-private, private, but nothing seemed to be clicking. When we learned about Flutter Swim Academy and Ms. Kristin, we decided to sign up and see if she could help. Her patience, kindness, and explanation helped Luke understand exactly what he needed to do in order to swim. In one week, he was jumping off the side of the pool and treading water like a pro! She gave him the confidence he needed to believe in himself. He begged to return again and again just to show Ms. Kristin how much he had learned and how brave he had become. I cannot recommend Kristin and Flutter Swim Academy enough. She is incredible!"

  • "Our daugher started taking lessons from Miss Kristin in June 2021 when she was 4. She learned so much in 4 days, I couldn't believe the progress. She took lessons again in the summer of 2022 when she was 5 and was swimming around the entire pool. I feel like our daughter is a stronger swimmer and feel comfortable with her around the water after 2 years of lessons with Kristin. We have recommended her to our friends and will continue to recommend her to them."

  • "We cannot say enough about how much we appreciate and adore Flutter Swim Academy. Our 4 year old daughter and 8 year old son started in June 2022 and both have become strong swimmers in the water. Much faster than we ever anticipated. Kristin is amazing and is so sweet, patient, and kind in the water with our kids. She does an incredible job building their confidence with new skills and they were always excited to attend her lessons."

  • "My daugher took lessons with Miss Kristin starting in the summer of 2021 when she was 3. After 2 summers of lessons, my daugher has become a very strong swimmer. I highly recommend Kristin. I have a pool in my backyard and my daugher is strong enough to not have to wear a life jacket in the water after 2 years of lessons."

  • "Summer 2023 will be our third year using Ms Kristin for swimming lessons. In 2021 my oldest (4.5 at the time) did swimming lessons with her and she improved her strokes. Summer 2022 my oldest worked mostly on breathing while swimming and was finally able to pass the swim test to go on waterslides. My middle child (3 at the time) also did swimming lessons with Ms Kristin last summer and she was the first teacher to really get him to happily dunk his head and work on swimming. He has done swimming lessons with three other swim schools and we saw the most improvement and the quickest improvement with Ms. Kristin. Her ability to meet each kid exactly where they are and help them progress is incredible. My kids all love Ms Kristin, she was one of the first non family members that my 1 year old (in summer 2022) would reach out to. We are so excited to do swimming lessons with her again this summer and I highly recommend you get on her schedule asap before it fills up!"
