About the teachers
Jane Leyland
Jane joined us with her gorgeous baby Isabel in our Floaties class when she was just a few weeks old & she is now a fabulous Kicker, It was always evident that Jane loved her classes & time in the pool with Isabel, she was extremely confident & relaxed too. So much so that she trained to be a teacher, her passion & committment to her little swimmers is clear & she has the sweetest nature. Jane looks forward to meeting you in a class soon !
Nadia Soar
Nadia joined Puddle Ducks as a customer with her daughter Sophie-Mai in our Little Dippers class, she was so impressed with our classes that she pursued her "dream job" (her words) & has trained to teach for us. Nadia has a wonderful manner with babies & children & will soon have her little swimmers & parents brimming with confidence, Her smile is pretty awesome too. Nadia will welcome you to her class with open arms !
Cate Woodrow-Smith
Cate’s fun loving personality, natural warmth & love of children are all great qualities for a teacher. However the real buzz comes from seeing a Floatie develop & progress to their first totally independent swim, it’s a real WOW factor and makes her so proud.
