Bart

Owner, swimming instructor

"Hello all,

My name is Bart Thijssen, owner and founder of Personal Swim Training and Bath Geldrop.

After years of experience as a competitive swimmer and trainer I decided to start my own swim school in 2013.

We now have a wonderful team and over 400 students for Swim Abc, private swimmers, triathletes/competitive swimmers and adult training.

I am proud of the team and locations we now have. In the coming years, I hope to transfer the success we have been able to achieve so far to even more locations."

Lars

Assistant manager, swimming instructor

"Hi, My name is Lars and I work for Bath Geldrop.

After graduating from Summa Sport and the academy for physical education (ALO), I worked for 2 years as a teacher for a vocational sports school in Rotterdam.

During my studies and many internships I gained a lot of knowledge and experience about what is involved in teaching and leading and the development of children. I like to bring my knowledge and experience to the swimming lessons to offer them in an inspiring and developing way. In which the children feel safe in the water and learn to swim in different and fun ways.

See you at the swimming lessons!"

Kelly

"Hi all!

My name is Kelly.

I live with my boyfriend, our daughter and dog. In addition to my work, I actively volunteer in scouting. When we go on vacation, we enjoy camping.

In my youth I was active in the lifeguard, there I started teaching swimming lessons to children. Since then I have always been in the pool business. Since December 1, 2022, I joined the cozy team of Bath, where I am also happy to be ready to teach you how to swim and have fun in the water. Hope to see you in the pool soon."

Lieke

Assistant manager, swimming instructor

''Hii swimmers,

My name is Lieke and I work together with my nice colleagues in the Bath team. There, among other things, I am busy providing the most fun swimming lessons. From the first splashes to the real swimming champions and from the first splash to a full swimming certificate.

In addition to providing swimming lessons, I am working behind the scenes with my colleagues to discover new initiatives and ideas to make swimming even more fun and educational. I do not like to sit still, because in my spare time I love to be found in the woods with my blond labradoodle where I make the most beautiful walks. You can also find me in the sports hall where I like to play korfball fanatically.

Now that you have gotten to know me a little bit I am curious to hear your stories. Will I see you soon at one of our locations?"

Hope to see you at the swimming lessons!"

Monique

Swimming instructor

"Hi all!!!

My name is Monique, I am married and mother of 2 children. There is also a butterfly dog running around my house named Yoshi.

As a little girl you couldn't make me happier than going to a swimming pool. Because of this, I then ended up joining the lifeguard.

After earning all my diplomas at the rescue team and giving swimming lessons there for a while, which I enjoyed so much, I then decided to retrain as a swimming instructor.

I hope that the children enjoy coming to the swimming lessons and can enjoy it for a long time to come. From the first splashes to their swimming certificates.

See you at one of our locations."

Charlotte

Marketing team

"Hi hi! I'm Charlotte and since September I have been working as a member of the marketing team at Bath.

After working as a teacher for almost 14 years, I said goodbye to primary education for good in 2022 and started looking for a new challenge.

Since photography and social media are my hobbies, I got into marketing and thus ended up at Bath. I love fun photos, so I hang out all day with my phone in my two daughters' faces😉 I think getting photos of proud little ones with, for example, swimming diplomas achieved is super fun! So if you have fun photos that we can share on our socials, you can always email me (charlotte@bathgeldrop.nl) and of course you can always tag us in photos on Facebook and/or Insta! We like it 😊

See you at Bath!"
