Meet Swim Coach Anna K.
Nationality: Ukrainian
Living in The Netherlands since: 2023
Languages: Ukrainian, Russian, Czech, Slovak, English
Pool location: Amsterdam & Diemen
Profile:
Water has fascinated me since very early childhood. I had a passion for
riding water slides when I was only 2 and ran away from parents to swim in
the sea when we went on vacations – I liked catching waves and got a
feeling between when wave leads you and you swimming your way.
But I only started swimming when I was 10 years old.
In two years I reached the city level, in 4 the international level and
started participating in World cups, Ukrainian championships, later became
a competition judge.
Now my main goal is to be a good example of coach – sensitive, personally
oriented, who cares about the student achieving their goal and being happy
in the process, enjoying being in the water like I do. Being in the water
gives me a feeling of relaxation and confidence that I can do anything – I
wish I can show this amazing friendly safe side of water to every person on
the earth.
Coaching style:
Being flexible, I think it is very important – to pay attention to the condition, strength, mood and desire of the student and adapt the classes to it. I have an innumerable encyclopedia of exercises in my brain for every occasion!
Swimming Certifications, Achievements, & Recognitions:
First Aid & BHV
Specialties:
I enjoy work with people who already achieved a professional level in swimming and want to master the technique, but working with people from scratch also brings me joy and fulfilment. When I see the eagerness, joy, effort and progress it makes me feel proud!
