Aquatics Supervisor

Miss Anastasiia Medvedieva

My name is Anastasiia Medvedieva, but my students know me as Miss Ana.

I have been swimming all my life, started synchronize swimming at 6 years of age and competed for 9 years. I currently hold my First Aid, Freediving AIDA level 3, PADI rescue diver certificates. I am also an experienced, trained and certified diver and freediver.

I consider myself to be very kind, empathetic, and understanding. I like to think I’m quite responsible, nurturing and patient, but stern when needed. My method of teaching is about building relationships with my swimmers. I really enjoy having fun in the water while still ensuring all my students are learning and safe. I feel that trust is the most important foundation with any relationship, and I prioritize gaining that with each and every student I meet! I like to motivate children through encouraging words and giving them something to look forward to, such as swim-related games at the end of a lesson.

I have visited and lived in different countries around the world, and I enjoy learning about their cultures. I speak four languages: English, Ukraine, Russian and Chinese (Mandarin).

My Life is one exciting adventure, and I want to know more about yours!
