Damaris Spiteri

Damaris is qualified in Psychology and Education and has worked with children for the past twenty years. She also holds qualifications in Play Therapy.

She has enjoyed swimming all throughout her life and became interested in baby and toddler swimming when her children were born and she noticed the positive effect swimming had on their overall development. It wasn’t until 2015 that she got the opportunity to train and qualify as a Baby and Preschool Swimming Teacher.

Joining Aquababies has given her the opportunity to witness the baby’s first steps in the water in a playful and safe environment where learning can take place. She is fascinated by the positive effect the baby and preschool swimming experience has on the attachment and bonding between parent and child as well as the increased confidence of both the child and the parent in water as the lessons progress.
