Beatriz

Beatriz is a passionate water lover with a lifelong connection to the ocean. She is half Portuguese and half Spanish. She grew up in a big family of ten siblings, where being in and around the water was always a big part of life. She has been swimming since she was just six months old, and the water has been part of her world ever since.

She studied Hospitality Management at Les Roches Marbella in Spain before spending two years in Australia, gaining experience across different fields. After returning to Europe, she continued following her passion for the ocean with a season at the Hart Beach surf school in the Netherlands.

Surfing is Beatriz’s greatest passion, and from a young age she has loved teaching children and sharing her enthusiasm for the water. Drawn to this role by her love for swimming and working with kids, she is motivated by helping children feel safe, confident, and happy in the water – while being part of a positive, dynamic team.

Sylvana

Sylvana is a Mother to her little boy Zenn. She signed up Zenn for the course, to make sure he was safe in and around water. After the course she made the decision to become an instructor.

She holds a qualification in special pedagogical work allowing her to specifically work with children.
Sylvana embodies Children of the Waters holistic approach in her communication with each family and child in and out of the water.

Zienat

When Zienat became a mother, her perspective on water safety changed. She wanted her daughter to grow up feeling confident in and around the water, and she realized how important it is to start that journey early.

She had always loved the water herself. As a child, she felt free and at ease in it, and she still carries that positive connection with her today.

With that enthusiasm, combined with a growing passion for water safety, she now guides young children in their development in the water. She teaches with calmness, structure, and attention to each child. For Zienat, safety, trust, and joy are always at the heart of everything she does.
