Yasmina Tirado

Instructor

With SwimWay since March 2026

Hi!  I’m Yasmina from Barcelona.  I’ve loved swimming since I was a child, and even competed when I was younger.  I’ve been living in London since 2016 and lifeguarding and teaching swimming since 2018, working with children, teenagers, and adults of all abilities.

I have experience teaching everything from parent and baby lessons through to more advanced swimmers, including those with additional needs.  I focus on building water confidence, improving technique across all four strokes, and creating lessons that are both structured and enjoyable.

I love teaching because I get to see my swimmers have fun, learn, and grow in confidence – and I genuinely get excited about their progress!  I’m friendly, cheerful, and positive, and I always aim to create a welcoming, supportive atmosphere in the pool.

I also speak four languages!  Spanish, English, Catalan, and Italian, which helps me connect with swimmers and families from all over the world.
