Nicola Caraffini

Instructor

With SwimWay since December 2022

My name is Nicola, and I was born in a small town in Italy called Chiavari. The town is surrounded by the sea and every summer I spent most of my time at the beach swimming!

When I was old enough, I became a qualified lifeguard which I did for many years before moving to London in 2019. Shortly after my big move, I qualified as a swimming instructor and teaching swimming has now become a beloved passion for me.

I am a very motivated person, especially when it comes to swimming, so I still train on a regular basis. This, as well as being a full-time teacher, means I am in the pool a lot! I strive to be a super friendly person and I really enjoy my time with my students. Seeing them having fun in the lessons whilst learning this important life-long skill gives me tremendous joy every day!
