About Lara
I am a professional Italian synchronized swimmer, water polo player, and swimmer with a strong background in competitive sport and over 8 years of teaching experience. Over the years, I have worked with children, adults, and people with disabilities, helping each student develop confidence, safety, and strong technical skills in the water.
My passion for aquatics started as an athlete and naturally evolved into teaching, where I focus on creating a positive and supportive learning environment tailored to each individual’s needs.
I am AUSTSWIM certified and hold First Aid, CPR, Police Check, and Working With Children Check.
My goal is to help every student feel confident, capable, and comfortable in the water, no matter their starting level.

My approach focuses first on building confidence in the water. I want my students to feel comfortable, safe, and learn how to move naturally before introducing technique. Once this foundation is established, I gradually teach essential skills such as kicking, breathing, and basic strokes. From there, we progress towards improving technique and efficiency.
Each lesson typically lasts 30 minutes and is tailored to the individual’s level and goals.

Lara was my colleague when we worked together in Italy, and you couldn’t wish for a better coworker. She is always ready to help, consistently available, and deeply supportive. She truly understands the needs of every student and approaches her work with great sensitivity and care.
Together, we taught swimming to children aged 3 to 6, and I still fondly remember those wonderful moments we shared. We had so much fun working side by side, always keeping our responsibilities in mind and prioritizing the safety, happiness, and needs of the children.
Working with her was both a pleasure and a privilege.I met Lara when she was still working in Italy, where she became my instructor for two years. From the very beginning, she showed an incredible ability to understand my fears and guide me with calmness and confidence.
What I appreciate most about her teaching method is her patience, kindness, and deep empathy. She never forced anything, but instead supported me step by step, always making me feel safe and capable, even when I thought I couldn’t do it.
One of the most meaningful experiences we shared was my journey in the water. I started out completely terrified of swimming and even afraid of being in the water. Thanks to Lara’s guidance and encouragement over those two years, I gradually transformed from being scared to actually loving the water, to the point where I can now swim in the sea without any fear.
I will always be grateful for what she did for me. She is a truly special teacher, and I will thank her forever for helping me overcome something that once felt impossible.I met Lara while she was working in Italy, where she was my instructor for two years. She had a calm, reassuring way of teaching that immediately made me feel more at ease, even though I started with a strong fear of the water.
Her patience and empathy really set her apart. She always adapted to my pace, never rushed me, and helped me build confidence gradually, step by step.
Over time, what began as fear slowly turned into trust and then enjoyment. Thanks to her support, I went from being afraid of being in the water to being able to swim in the sea comfortably and without anxiety.
I’m very grateful for her guidance, she played a key role in helping me overcome something that once felt completely out of reach.View more recommendations
