Bachelor’s in Early Childhood Education
I'm a certified Learn-to-Swim and Baby Swimming Instructor with a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education. Since 2012, I have been dedicated to the field of early childhood education, teaching with enthusiasm, engagement, and patience. My passion for childhood development has been nurtured through certified training courses in infant baby massage, understanding sensory processing disorder, and childhood nutrition.
​
With 12 years of combined experience in the swimming industry, teaching primary school and working for Olympic star and celebrity Ryk Neethling, has given me the tools to structure my lessons with a sensory-based approach, enthusiasm, passion and a methodological approach.
I have developed a deep love for the water and am passionate about sharing this love with others. It is incredibly rewarding to witness the confidence boost in children who learn through their senses, and this is what drives me every day. I am committed to creating a safe and welcoming environment for children of all ages and skill levels, helping them become comfortable with the water and develop a lifelong passion for swimming.
