	Renata Rodrigues: I been living in New Zealand for eight and a half years. I was raised on the North Coast of Sao Paulo, Brazil, in a house by the beach with a 20m swimming pool. My Dad was a strong swimmer and used to do competitive rowing. I have been swimming since I can remember. Swimming was my everyday joy and I had to help my school friends to learn to swim and be safe in my pool, making me feel really good. I have done competitive swimming as a child. I miss swimming in the ocean in winter months in NZ, a bit too cold for Brazilians. I love kids and after working as a nanny/tutor in NZ I decided that working with kids is the career I want to follow. I am so enjoying teaching kids how to swim and I am really happy to join Daniel's team at Fulton. Other then that I enjoy anything that has to do with nature and animals. I also take art and photography as a hobby.

Teaching at Fulton's is a rewarding feeling of passing on a skill which gives both safety and enjoyment to others and watching them progress is very enjoyable.
