Swimming coach in Phuket

Elizaveta Tanailova Founder and Director "Helping children develop is why I love getting out of bed every morning. It's important to me that children feel supported at every stage, aren't afraid to make mistakes, and celebrate their small victories. It's wonderful to watch as fears turn into laughter, and the first uncertain movements transform into smooth, confident strokes."

I work primarily with children. I know how to incorporate swimming into a child's development from the earliest age: from the first months of life. I know how to build proper technique for those who have been swimming "all their lives". And I know much more :)

Eduard Baytemirov Head Coach, Methodologist "Swimming and teaching others to swim has been my childhood dream. Over the years, this dream has turned into a profession that allows me to help people discover new possibilities in water. I don't just teach technique — I show how swimming can become a source of confidence and inner strength."

Swimming with children of all ages, swimming with adults. I find an individual approach for each student, taking into account age, physiological, and psychological characteristics.

Dmitriy Anchikov Senior Coach "For me, swimming is work, relaxation, and challenge all at once. Each student is a new story, a new experience. Results are important to me, but even more important is that students enjoy the process itself. Sometimes one smile after overcoming fear in the water means more than dozens of timed swims."

I work with babies from 2 months and older. Swimming for teenagers and adults. I have positive experience working with special needs children. Open water training is my specialty!
