One of the key figures at Flamengo's Sports School, Fernando José dos Santos Costa, better known as Fernandinho, deserves a special mention this Teacher's Day. He's been with the club since 1997, serving as a swimming teacher and coordinator, working on the development and development of new athletes.

Fernandinho, much loved by everyone at the club, spoke about the work done at the swimming school.

"Swim school is the beginning of the teaching-learning process, where students acquire the technical knowledge to join the team. We must emphasize that, beyond the technical aspects, the importance of the child's psychomotor, emotional, and social development is also important," said the teacher and coordinator, who continued.

"The main objective is to learn the four strokes and their fundamentals. It also provides students with the opportunity to join the team. Furthermore, it creates a habit of physical activity, promoting physical and mental well-being," he concluded.

On this Teacher's Day, Clube de Regatas do Flamengo congratulates all teachers who dedicate their time to teaching, inspiring and transforming lives through education, always with drive, love and passion.
