Born in The Netherlands, I learned how to swim at the age of 4. since then, swimming has been my passion. I swam competitively in both speed-swimming and water polo.
For 19 years I taught as a certified swimming instructor in The Netherlands. In addition to regular swimming lessons I also taught parent toddler, senior swim, water- gymnastics and aquarobic and aqua jogging lessons.
The importance of knowing how to swim drives my passion and teaching, especially considering how limited this knowledge is to many people.
