WHAT MY SWIMMERS SAY...

Alexandra P. (Rotterdam)

"When I decided to learn how to swim my only goal was to overcome the fear of being in deep water not knowing at that time how complex swimming as a technique is and which other benefits brings to your body and balance. Daria was one of my swim coaches who added that level of detail to my training and fine tuned my moves to give me more confidence to be in the water for longer time and use my energy in a smart way. Daria will teach you all that in a kind and humble way, it's wonderful to be in her class and know she will always be there for you."

"Participating in a triathlon became my new aspiration after I run a marathon in 2016. Only I had one problem - As proud as I always was of being born and raised by the sea, my swimming was far from triathlon proof.

"And then I met Daria! We spent two months on and off training (during one of which I had a huge pregnant belly, mind you!) and she totally transformed my swimming! She finds a perfect individually tailored approach on teaching - not just the exercises she gives you but also the way she explains it to you, she is really able to find words that resonate with you and help your brain adjust and learn new patterns. Like a very kind swimming fairy she has a huge bag full of great small tips and adjustments that just work instantly. Add to that an amazing personality and good sense of humour! She always makes you feel at ease and comfortable. I am very happy I met her and would recommend her to anyone who wants to learn to swim or improve swimming for any purpose."

"Daria’s approach to coaching is very straightforward and to-the-point. With each exercise she teaches you proper technique, and her thorough knowledge of anatomy and musculature allows her to explain what impact each exercise is having on which parts of the body. She also understands how effective exercise is supported by proper nutrition, and I learned a huge amount from her about what I should and should not be eating in the context of my fitness goals."
