Anastasija Mihailova

Instructor

With SwimWay since March 2025

I have devoted my life to sports, firmly believing that physical activity is essential for both happiness and a healthy lifestyle.

My swimming journey began at the age of five in a local pool in Latvia. As I progressed, I transitioned to competitive swimming and began achieving success in junior competitions. Through years of dedication, I had the opportunity to compete in open championships across Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Belarus, and the Czech Republic. During my career, I set multiple junior records in both individual and relay events. Additionally, I competed in the London League and BUCS (Sheffield, 2022) while pursuing my degree.

I hold a degree in Sport, Health and Exercise Science from Brunel University London. It was here that I gained in-depth knowledge of the human body and athletic performance. This academic foundation, paired with my practical experience, has shaped my approach to coaching and teaching.

In addition to my competitive and educational background, I hold a variety of swimming teaching qualifications and certifications. With years of hands-on experience, I am passionate about helping others build confidence in the water and develop their swimming skills. I specialise in teaching children, focusing on mastering proper technique across all strokes and encouraging them to achieve their personal best.

Through swimming, I have developed key qualities such as independence, responsibility, and determination – values that I strive to instil in my students. I am dedicated to sharing my expertise and inspiring swimmers of all ages and abilities to reach their full potential.
