Profile:

I started swimming when I was very little (3 years old). I never stopped, so once I learned how to swim I continued in professional swimming till I was 19 and had to stop because I moved to Netherlands. I did a lot of competitions, from national to international championships. In last 3 years of my career I decided to complete the license course so I can share my knowledge with others. I believe swimming is a great sport for everyone, no matter of age or body, as long as there is motivation to learn, there is a possibility!

“The first and biggest step is to decide”

Coaching Style:

I believe the most important thing is to like being in the water. Since the easiest to get motivated is if you like doing the activity, which is why I try to introduce water to people as a playground they can explore and have fun there.

Besides coaching:

I am a psychology student in Leiden

Specialities:

I believe I try to get to know each student personally, I can work with all the students, as long as they are motivated and eager to learn.

Certifications:

I completed my certification in year 2020, but started teaching before that. Achievements: multiple times national champion, a lot of medals from national and international championships.
