Ivanka Ivanova

Instructor

With SwimWay since July 2016

Swimming has been part of my life since I was a little girl, where I swam at a national level in my native country of Bulgaria.  Since 2012, I have been teaching swimming in London and have a true passion for helping children learn to swim.  I believe swimming lessons offer children a very rewarding, enjoyable activity whilst also providing a skill that could one day save their life.

I am a great believer in giving back to the community, and charity work.  I have participated in charity swim events such as Swimathon and The Great Newham London Swim, swimming 2.5K and 1 Mile, to support charities devoted to curing cancer.

I am a fully qualified Level 2 STA teacher and a member of the Swimming Teaching Association.  I have taught a great many children to swim using various different teaching styles, but I firmly believe the SwimWay Methodology is the most effective.  It is wonderful to see the children thrive in our lessons!
