Profile:
I cannot remember not knowing how to swim, I have been in the pool since I was a baby. I have never been a competitive swimmer, but it has always been my go-to sport. I think swimming is a relaxing hobby as well as keeping you fit – the water soothes you and takes away the stresses of the day. I also believe swimming is an essential life skill. As there is so much water around us, especially in the Netherlands, it is a good idea to know how to swim! I hold several training certificates including, Austswim qualification, Teaching infant and preschool aquatics, Teaching swimming and water safety, and a certificate for teaching Competitive strokes.
When I am not in the pool, I work as an administration assistant for Your Personal Swim Coach looking after the Amsterdam and Utrecht areas, as well as managing the teams of coaches in these cities.
Coaching Style:
I have a fun and gentle way with my students. I am encouraging and like to engage with them! I am a strong believer in learning sequentially – little by little and working on both strengths and weaknesses.
Specialities:
I really enjoy teaching the different levels, I am successful with all my students! I enjoy seeing students transform their fear of water and start to relax and enjoy their lessons and progress. I like to help guide them through this. I also thoroughly enjoy seeing swimmers achieve their first survival diploma!
