Water rewards patience.
Intro
I started swimming before I learned to walk. I competed for the first time at age 9, earned a scholarship to train with the Northern Ireland Federation at 14, and for over two decades I lived by the side of a pool.
I hold a degree in Physical Education from La Salle University in Brazil. I teach swimming to all ages, with a focus on babies and children — including children with special needs. Today I live in Gothenburg, where I'm an instructor in the Simlyftet program at Simklubben S02.
