With SwimWay since March 2022
I grew up in the north of Portugal, where my love for exploring nature and the outdoors sparked an interest in sports from a young age. At the age of 6, I started competing in athletics events, continuing until I went to university. Over that time, I also became interested in swimming and was invited to represent my school in several inter-school swimming galas.
This inspired a love of the water and an interest in lifesaving, which led to me getting a job as a beach lifeguard. Looking to pursue a career in sport, I then completed a degree in Sport and Physical Education with a specialisation in swimming. I am also currently working on a master’s degree in sports for children and youth.
Since 2011, I have been teaching group and 1:1 swimming lessons for all ages and abilities, and I also hold a formal qualification in Aqua Aerobics. I have over 10 years of experience delivering aqua fitness classes, including aqua aerobics, aqua cross-training, and senior fitness sessions.
In 2019, I moved to London, where I worked as a PE teacher whilst completing my Level 3 personal trainer qualification. Having attained this, I then started to work in a gym alongside my swimming teaching. My time at schools also gave me experience working with children with special educational needs.
My enthusiasm to learn is contagious! I work hard to bring a style of learning through fun, which I feel provides amazing results. I love seeing the enjoyment on my students’ faces during their lessons, as well as the improvement and progression. I enjoy teaching both adults and children in either a group or one-to-one setting, tailoring each class to suit the individual’s needs
