About me

My name is Anna Śmiechowska.
I come from Poland, I am 34 years old.

By education I am a physiotherapist, sensory integration therapist and a sports instructor with specialty in swimming.
I am deeply interested in human development, health and well-being, with special focus on early years.

I love water-related activities, snorkeling, paddle-boarding and diving, I have spent many seasons working as a life-guard, both in Poland and in Malta.

 

I became interested in aquatic therapy during the third year of my studies - in 2012, working as an assistant in a small baby swimming school.


Shortly after graduating as a physiotherapist I joined a clinic that offered me the opportunity to work in the pool as well. On top of 1:1 aquatic sessions, together with my colleagues we have successfully developed and lead many specialized aquatic classes.

In 2015 I moved to Gozo to explore the underwater world as a diver.
Later on that year I took a position of physiotherapist at Inspire – Foundation for Inclusion, where I also designed and run hydrotherapy programs for children developing in the autism spectrum.
In the same year I teamed up with Baby Swimming Malta and SwimAid Foundation, to later on start my own practice.


In 2019 I created Waterable to provide personalized aquatic activities for people of all abilities.

T
ogether with many swimmers we have successfully organized aquatic sessions in indoor/outdoor pools and the sea.
