I am Luís De Oliveira, the technical coordinator of Via Aqua and the primary Guide/Trainer.
I am an enthusiast practitioner of swimming, bodyboarding, surfing and SUP (stand-up paddleboarding) with more than two decades of professional experience working in aquatic rescue and teaching swimming and aquafitness.
In my spare time I am also a yachtsman, sailing the local coastline aboard my small cruising yacht. I live for and on the water.
My higher education is in sports, having specialized as a swimming and Stand Up Paddle coach, Personal Trainer and Pilates Teacher. I was organising aquatic events for over 10 years with my previous project, “Supaart” .
The sea gave me schooling, sustenance, a retreat, inspiration. It has inspired me to introduce to others experiences of an aquatic lifestyle that can provide so much well-being and personal development.
We speak Portuguese, Spanish, English and French.
