Demir
Born in Bosnia and raised in Austria, I began swimming at the age of seven and continued competitively until I was 20. Swimming has always been more than just a sport for me—it’s a crucial life skill that I believe everyone should learn. This passion led me to become a swimming instructor six years ago, allowing me to share my experience and love for the sport with others. Over the years, I’ve competed in a range of events, from local meets to international championships, gaining invaluable experience and insight into the world of competitive swimming. I enjoy working with adults and teenagers, helping them master their skills and build confidence in the water. What I love most about teaching the Swimming Nature programme is its structured, precise approach, which ensures that each student receives tailored instruction to meet their individual needs. I am also passionate about continuing my own growth as an instructor, and Swimming Nature’s commitment to professional development is one of the key reasons I chose to be part of this team.

Laura
Laura have been swimming for 30 years. She has won few trophies and medals at small regional competitions in her native Italy. Her favourite stroke is backstroke. She used to train and compete in swimming in Italy when she was younger and she always loved water. So she has decided to train as a sailor and a swimming teacher. Laura thinks that the Swimming Nature methodology is very a natural and direct approach and she really likes the emphasis on floatation. She enjoys teaching any kind of age. She likes to see the improvement of kids while growing and learning fast.
Pablo Cesar
Pablo has been with Swimming Nature since 2021. He holds a degree in Sports Science and has an extensive swimming background. He loves to see his students develop their confidence and skills in the water and watch them move through different levels. He thoroughly enjoys working for Swimming Nature because of a great methodology and how they take care of their employees as well as their customers.
Thomas
I have been swimming for most of my life! I found my love for swimming in my early teens where I discovered my passion for the water, particularly butterfly stroke. I was the fastest 50-metre butterfly swimmer in the UK at the age of 16. I am friendly, patient and enthusiastic about facilitating people of all ages to gain swimming skills, however, I feel strongly about enabling younger swimmers with disabilities to become confident in the water and find their own love for swimming. I am passionate about fitness, reflective in my education pathway in sports science. I am excited to be working with Swimming Nature as their approach to teaching swimming is unique, encouraging a happy lifelong relationship with water.
Victor Manuel
Victor, originally from Honduras and fluent in English, Spanish, and Catalan, brings a wealth of swimming experience and a passion for teaching to the Swimming Nature Programme. With qualifications such as STA Level 2 and NPLQ, Victor has been immersed in the world of swimming since childhood, making it an integral part of his life. He officially became a qualified swimming teacher in 2023, marking the culmination of his training, which began in 2020 during the pandemic. Beyond his swimming expertise, Victor has a notable sporting achievement, having played rugby for 13 years and represented the Catalan national under-16 team. His diverse interests extend to the arts, including painting, illustration, music, and photography. Staying active is a priority for Victor, and he engages in activities like bouldering, running, and, of course, swimming. Reading has become a cherished pastime, reflecting his multifaceted personality. Victor's passion for people is a driving force in his life. Having overcome personal challenges, he understands the value of support and aims to be a positive influence in the lives of those around him. His aspiration is to become an exceptional swimming teacher and eventually establish a school in Honduras, where many children lack access to swimming lessons. Victor's commitment to teaching and his desire to make a difference align with the Swimming Nature program's ethos. He enjoys teaching individuals across age groups and proficiency levels, showcasing his versatility as an instructor. Choosing to become a Swimming Nature teacher reflects Victor's broader goal of creating positive change. He envisions impacting the lives of children by providing them with essential swimming skills.
