Hi, I’m Ava!
I’m an ex-competitive Swimmer, who has been teaching for the past seven years.
Previously, I’ve worked with Active Merri-Bek Council to coordinate their Swim School and teach at their multiple sites. I’ve taught from infant to access, learn to swim, squad and adults. Working at a Council site, I would assist in local campaigns and events, a solo project was launching the Merri-Bek encouragement meets for swimmers within the advanced programs to be introduced to competitive swimming.
I’m incredibly passionate about aquatic education, water safety and ensuring lessons are an enjoyable experience for all students. I firmly believe swimming is a necessary skill that remains with you for life.
I aim to continue to uphold the strong successful program that is Ivanhoe Girls' Aquatic, whilst initiating some newer processes to extend communication and discussion around student safety and progression.
In my spare time, you can find me walking my dog Luna, going to see live music or painting.
I’m excited to work with the Ivanhoe Girls' Aquatics community and become a familiar face for those attending Swim Lessons!
