In The Hague we run set courses all year in our private heated indoor pool. The pool is situated in a lovely cozy home near the beach. Offering a peaceful atmosphere with enough space for parents to watch their child swim or jump in the water with them. A perfect place for your child to learn to become independent and confident in the water.

Sandra
Sandra is a dedicated mom and a passionate water enthusiast. After witnessing the transformative power of Children of the Water in her own family—especially for her two special needs children—she felt inspired to become a swim instructor herself.
Originally from Germany, Sandra brings with her a background in teaching and lifeguarding, as well as a deep commitment to creating safe, joyful experiences in the water. Her journey into holistic swim instruction is personal and purposeful: she wants every child, especially those with special needs, to have the same empowering and positive experience that changed her family’s life.
Whether she’s offering gentle encouragement or sneaking in a bit of humor, Sandra’s kind nature and genuine passion shine through in everything she does. At Children of the Water, she’s not just teaching swimming—she’s helping build confidence, joy, and trust, one splash at a time.
