Profile:
I started going to swimming lessons when I was 8 and joined a professional swimming team when I was 10. We used to live in Ukraine back then. I’ve been training as a professional swimmer until I turned 20 and decided to work as a lifeguard, then a swimming coach in my second year at university. I graduated from ANUPE(Armenian National University of Physical Education) with a Bachelor’s degree in swimming when I already had 2 years of coaching experience. I worked for more than 4 years in Armenia and moved to the Netherlands at the start of 2021, where I continued my swimming coach career.
Coaching Style:
I like everything in detail, teaching people to swim easily and lightly. I teach swimming techniques individually to my trainees. I like motivating people to overcome their fear of water.
Specialities:
I have been changing swimming styles since I was 10 and eventually stopped long-distance swimming(800/1500m in a pool and longer distances in open water). I have also frequently participated in triathlons. I am proficient in teaching all swimming styles and all swimming levels equally.
