A bit about me
As someone who has had a love for swimming from a young age, it is great passing on this skill to others and seeing them benefit from it. I have been a lifeguard since I was 16 so I understand the importance of learning water safety skills in order to have fun in the water and find your passion whether it be competitions, water polo, diving or anything else!
Inspiration
It's such a great achievement to see how the students improve at swimming and to see their confidence grow in the water.

A bit about me
I have loved swimming and sports in general all my life. As a bid you would often find me playing in a pool or with a ball at my feet. My older brother was also a lifeguard and swimming instructor, hearing about his positive experiences on the job encouraged me to pursue this career path alongside my studies.
Inspiration
I began my career in the leisure industry as a lifeguard. Being able to observe lessons and speak to instructors promped me to complete my teaching qualifications. Deciding to become a swim coach was one of the best decisions of my life, it is extremely rewarding to put so many smiles on so many faces.

A bit about me
Having grown up in South Africa and Australia I was always in the water. It’s where I’m most at home. I now have 2 kids of my own and want to pass on my love of the water to them.
Inspiration
I wish I started teaching swimming a long time ago. I get such a kick from seeing people growing in confidence in the water. Watching scared adults realise they can actually swim is extremely rewarding.

A bit about me
Outside of work, I deeply cherish spending time with my vibrant 3-year-old son, fully embracing the joys of fatherhood with passion and dedication. This role is incredibly rewarding and central to my life. When I'm not immersed in father duties, I find great joy in taking long walks through nature with my dog, appreciating the peace and beauty of the outdoors.
Inspiration
In addition to being a devoted parent, I have a strong passion for swim teaching. Guiding students and witnessing their progression, especially when they achieve milestones with wonder in their eyes, brings me immense satisfaction and a sense of purpose.
