"My name is Elle and I've been teaching swimming since 2006. I have been passionate about swimming ever since I was young and competed throughout my childhood. As an adult, I am learning artistic swimming and love applying my knowledge of the water to this new skill. I have loved teaching swimming to people of all ages and ability levels, and especially enjoy working with swimmers at the start of their journey. It is such a joy to watch someone master a skill for the first time, or challenge themselves to try something out of their comfort zone."

"I have been teaching swimming for about seven years. I love coming into the aquatic environment for a few hours per week - it is a welcome change from what I do in my 'day job' as a researcher. It gives me a different perspective and I feel that I am doing something useful and important. I really enjoy teaching adults and helping swimmers transition from learning to swim to potentially becoming competitive swimmers. I trained in the pool five days a week between the ages of 13 and 15. I learned a lot from being in the swim squad - how to set goals, be in a team, stay focussed and be disciplined and motivated. I am really inspired when I see adults coming to the pool to learn to swim, too. It takes courage and self belief."

"I have been teaching all aspects of learn to swim and water safety for nine years. I grew up learning to swim and found the experience very enjoyable and rewarding, I progressed onto squad and competitive swimming for a few years in junior high school. The opportunity to teach this vital and life enhancing skill to various age groups and demographics, is what got me into swim teaching. I feel rewarded when a student picks up a new technique or really enjoys a lesson. I enjoy teaching children whom are at about a high green level, as swimming techniques such as breaststroke kick are introduced, and watching children pick up on these techniques is rewarding. I also enjoy teaching older age groups such as teenage learn to swim and adults, as in many instances I am teaching a brand new skill, and can engage in productive conversation around swimming and water safety."
