I am a former swimmer, and I have practiced teaching swimming in my native country Belarus since 1999. I gained tremendous experience and confidence while I was practicing. I enjoy teaching and I am an experienced swimming instructor/coach. I have expertise and determination in teaching athletes of 6-16 years old. My students had achieved success in native and international competitions, including National Competitions for Junior Swimmers in Belarus and Lithuania (2013-2015), and even Junior Olympics and Far Western in the US (2010-2012). In 2017 I moved to the US and started practicing swim coaching at Macher Swim School in Columbia, Missouri. I was a Deputy of the head coach. I lessoned every day and helped my students achieve success in Missouri competitions, including Show me Game in Missouri (2018-2021). I am easygoing and well-liked by all my colleagues. My key for success is to prioritize my work and being organized. I am punctual and reliable, being someone, you can count on to show up and get the job done.

My experiences come from coaching four years at the Highschool level, as well as five years at the club level and finally making the move to coaching at the collegiate level for DePauw University for three years.  Many of the experiences that I have come across came from the fifteen years of swimming competitively, my years as a high school swimmer, and my years as a collegiate athlete in swimming and water polo. Throughout my years as an athlete I have been able to experience many different styles of coaching, techniques and understanding of new ways to teach certain strokes.  I have had the pleasure of working with many different coaching styles as well as coaches who have brought a new way in looking at the sport.  Through my prior experience as a teammate and as an assistant coach, I have learned many lessons and techniques that have helped me be an excellent and proficient coach - all of which I employ in my coaching duties today. Among others these include teaching proper stroke technique, instilling a winning work ethic, running drills to maximize conditioning, helping maintain a healthy mental attitude and explaining race strategies for many of the events.
