About

I help babies from 6 months old and preschoolers get to know the water safely. Using play-based methods, I keep a child's fear of water to a minimum while building their breathing and balance skills. I believe every child should progress at their own pace.

Weekdays 09:00–13:00, weekends 10:00–16:00 (morning sessions are for baby groups)

Merve T.March 22, 2026

My daughter is 2 and wouldn't get into the water at all. Thanks to Ms. Elif's patience, she now runs to the pool. She's truly wonderful at communicating with children.

Caner B.April 5, 2026

We started with our baby. She's a very attentive instructor who makes everything feel safe, and after every session she walks us through the progress in detail.

Zeynep A.April 19, 2026

My son was afraid of the water and overcame it through games. Punctual and cheerful — I definitely recommend her.

Burak Y.May 2, 2026

My child loved it and is making good progress. The only downside is that the pool sometimes gets very crowded, but that has nothing to do with the instructor.

Selin K.May 20, 2026

I take both of my kids and they both adore it. Patient and professional — we feel completely at ease.
