About Us
I’m Odelia, the owner and founder of More than Movers
My main goal is to unlock the potential in each child on a daily basis.
I am a qualified and registered Kinderkineticist, Learn to swim and Baby swimming Instructor and completed my PhD in Kinderkinetics at Stellenbosch University.
I believe that my qualification and knowledge in the development of children contributes to the daily impact and interaction I have with children. I have a passion for the motor development of children, and enjoy learning new skills to children as well as to enable them to gain confidence in the water.
My aim is to build healthy and trustworthy relationships with the children I interact and work with and to gracefully let them learn to love the water by moving their bodies.
Everyday is a new opportunity to make a difference and impact on each child that I work with. It makes my heart happy to see children having fun and learning in the water.

Hi, my name is Katia.
I am a swimming instructor that has a great passion to teach.
My résumé includes a wide spectrum of swimming qualifications, such as Baby Swimming, Disability swimming and I am qualified as an International Learn to Swim instructor.
As a former student I have had the ability to nurture the power education has on the youth of our country. However, through my love for the fundamental power water has on the world, I have come to the understanding and the belief that water itself can be an educating medium to flow into the lives of the youth and bring forth a world beyond textbooks. I believe being in water and learning more about oneself opens up a new world and in saying this, I am so ambitious to teach my new found understanding to your children.
I am committed to share my love for the water and to be able to do this gives me comfort in knowing that even if I can touch one child’s heart through what I love doing then that will be my goal.
