VV working for other swim programs and being told Parker County was too rural and could never support one , I decided to start my own with an emphasis on water safety .
PCT : What is your favorite novel ? KL : I wouldn ’ t say that I am much of a novel reader . I prefer to read personal development books .
PCT : What do you do to decompress ? KL : Boxing ! Not only is it a great workout , but it really is a huge stress relief to just be able to punch something .
PCT : What is something people don ’ t know about you ? KL : I was born in New York . Don ’ t get me wrong , I came to Texas as quickly as I could . We moved every few years growing up and I ’ ve now spent the majority of my life in Texas , but every now and then my Yankee accent comes out .
PCT : What would you most like to be remembered for ? KL : Making a difference in our community and spreading the message of water safety and drowning prevention . It ’ s all too often that I hear of or read stories about kids drowning . I love knowing that my daily “ work ” helps educate families on being safer and still having fun around the water .
