Meet The Team

Wilkerson Schubert

Instructor

With SwimWay since June 2021

I have always had a passion for sports since I was a child. Being a very active youngster, my parents made sure I focused my energy in Sports. I’d have swimming lessons 3 times a week, and being a typical Brazilian boy, I’d play football every day! Swimming was a recreational activity too, a wonderful part of my child childhood with so many developmental benefits.

My love of sports led me to study Physical Education at University in 1999. Then, in 2013 I moved to the UK, and qualified in Personal Trainer Level 4. Meanwhile, I worked as a Football Coach Assistant in a primary school.

Between 2014 and 2017 I had the chance to accomplish a dream to live in Germany! There I learned the language and shared my time between working as a football coach for kids and as a Gym instructor for seniors. I like to think that these years helped develop skills as a good coach, such as patience and respect for each individual’s pace, as well as knowing when to push.

When I arrived back in the UK, I finished my STA Award level 2 in Teaching Swimming and more recently I qualified in Life Saving. Physical Education and looking after my health has always been a priority in my life. I have total conviction that through swimming lessons, a child not only develops great physical benefits, but also life values such as trust, independence, self-love and discipline.

I am a father to a beautiful and bright daughter. So, I love working with children helping them see how capable they are of learning, reaching their full potential and conquering the world!
