In my free time I enjoy traveling to other countries and driving a car.

Від батьків:
- We are very grateful to Iryna for the lessons with our child. At first our little one was afraid of water, but thanks to her patience and professional approach the child became confident in the pool and now happily waits for every training session. You can see that the coach truly loves children and her work.
- We have been training with Iryna for several months and are very happy with the results. Our child has become more active, stays on the water better, and coordination has improved. Iryna is always attentive to each child and explains to parents what is happening during the lesson and why.
- A wonderful coach and a very kind person. Iryna easily finds an approach even to the youngest children, and the lessons always take place in a friendly and calm atmosphere. The child not only learns swimming skills but also gets many positive emotions. We highly recommend her.
