Meet The Team

Gabor Hanicz

Instructor

With SwimWay since November 2020

Hi, I’m Gabor.  Swim Coach, Water Polo Player & Aqua Aerobics Instructor.

I’ve loved the water for as long as I can remember. I started swimming competitively at the age of 12 and continued until 26, also playing water polo for my city team throughout my five years at university. Those experiences shaped my lifelong connection with the sport and inspired me to build a career around it.

Since becoming a swimming instructor in 2015, I’ve had the privilege of helping students of all ages and abilities discover their confidence in the water. Every swimmer is unique – some are fearless, others need reassurance – and I take pride in tailoring each lesson to the individual, helping them find progress, comfort, and joy in every session.

My coaching style blends the discipline and precision of competitive swimming with the teamwork and playfulness of water polo. I focus on developing smooth technique, strong endurance, and efficient, fast-paced swimming, while keeping lessons fun, structured, and motivating. I also teach aqua aerobics, bringing energy, rhythm, and laughter to the pool for adults looking to stay active.

Whether it’s serious training, technical refinement, or just a good underwater giggle – I believe swimming should always be as enjoyable as it is rewarding.
