Hi! I’m Leandro — Leo for short.

For as long as I can remember I was a little fish that always loved spending time in the water. I used to be a competitive swimmer in my teen years, and now I am a qualified lifeguard and swim instructor.

I have a way with passing knowledge forward in a manner that people really pick up on: in manageable chunks adapted to every person’s needs, so that each step becomes a solid foundation for the next one.

I’ve been told I have a knack with kids of all ages, and I also enjoy working with adults, including those who never learned how to swim or are afraid of water. So whether you’re a kid or an adult, whatever you affinity with water, I will help get you swimming like a fish before you know it.

Fun fact: I am a bilingual instructor — you can learn in English or Portuguese!
