Sasha Hanic

Sasha arrived in Australia from Europe at 4 years of age and started swimming at 5 years of age – a little late, by her own admission! Having conquered the dog paddle she went on to win NSW State medals in all four strokes; her best being Gold in the 100 metre butterfly at the age of 10. The Olympics became her dream, although unfortunately a variety of health factors ended the dream at 13.

Sasha returned to the pool 10 years later staring into the eyes of young toddlers wanting to learn how to swim. She has since worked for nearly 10 years as a swim teacher teaching infants, children & adults to swim, teaching junior stroke development and squads. She now runs her own ?In The Deep? Swim School in Sydney, looking after 250 children in the area.

Her passion is giving children skills to enjoy the water safely & skilfully and within that, to gain the confidence to succeed through all of life’s challenges.
