Mostafa's aquatic journey began at the beach in the Rockaways, where he first learned to stay afloat and navigate the waves, when he was 10 years old. His passion for the water grew as he honed his technique in pools, teaching himself with the guidance of online videos. A Queens College student, Mostafa is earning his degree in business economics, with the goal of starting his own company. As an instructor, he finds immense joy in witnessing the progression and newfound confidence in his students as they master new skills. Outside the pool, Mostafa enjoys hitting the gym, diving into video games, and exploring self-growth books. Fun fact: Mostafa has never been on a plane, but is always ready for new adventures in the water!
