Profile:
Swimming has been a part of my life since childhood, in 2017 I started to hone my swimming skills by swimming every day even in the winter, and in 2021, I took part in an open water swimming event.
From 2020 to 2022, I also worked as a swimming instructor, sharing my love for the water with others.
Learning to swim offers not just skills but a gateway to confidence, safety, and a lifetime of aquatic enjoyment.
I was a philosophy teacher when I was in my origin country, I’m a junior UX designer currently (Still learning) and I am looking to study computer science as the next step in my life.
Coaching style:
My approach to swimming instruction centers on engagement, empowerment, and enjoyment. I keep students engaged through dynamic activities and games, empowering them with achievable goals and constructive feedback.
Swimming Certifications, Achievements, & Recognitions:
I hold a lifeguard and referee diploma.
“Discipline is the key to the successful, “Impossible” The word itself says I’m possible!”
