Instructor

With SwimWay since April 2022

I have been teaching swimming to all ages and abilities since 2011. I started learning to swim when I was 4 years old at my local pool in Greece. It seems that I had a natural talent for swimming, so I progressed quickly and became a successful competitive swimmer.

After ending my competitive swimming career, I decided to do my BSc in Physical Education and Sports Science, specialising in swimming. I have always had an interest in water-based sports. Even as a child, I would help to teach my younger cousins how to swim.

Swimming is one of the most important skills to learn at a young age. So, I decided to become a swimming coach to facilitate my knowledge and teach people to gain water confidence. I have had wonderful coaches who were caring, patient and supportive when I was young so I would love all my swimmers to have the same positive experience and I will do my best to make that happen.

Some students are fearless and love to jump into deep water without thinking twice, while others are more cautious. Some students are easily distracted and talkative while others are timid and uncertain. Each child is different, and they have unique fears and motivations. When I teach them how to swim, I try to tailor the swimming lessons to meet their individual needs.

Few things are more rewarding than watching my students’ progress and feeling proud of their accomplishments.
