Profile:
Like all Dutch children, I started swimming at the age of four. After I had obtained all Dutch swimming diplomas, I went on to become a lifeguard. Now, during the summer, I’m voluntary Senior Lifeguard at Scheveningen beach in the Hague. I therefore understand the importance of swimming skills and want to help you enjoy the water as much as I do!
I study International Business Administration (IBA) at the Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University. In addition, I am part of YPSC’s MT as financial administrator and I am also the treasurer at the Lifeguard Organization of The Hague.
Coaching Style:
I always work with the premise of confidence and trust. Particularly at the beginning, it is important for students to familiarize themself with both the water and the coach. I try to push the boundaries of my students within their comfort zone in order to increase their level of confidence. Only then, is it possible to make consistent, daily progress. Moreover, I believe that it is essential to enjoy swimming.
Specialties:
I mostly teach Water Introduction classes and therefore start with the basic techniques of the strokes. More importantly though, at this phase, is that the students start to feel comfortable in the water. I always find it awesome to guide students through their first lessons!
