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 !
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.
Ann-Marie Mc Millan
Ann-Marie was so impressed by her Splasher (Daughter Ailsa) in our class that she just knew she would love to teach our baby & toddler swimming classes & share her passion for swimming & having fun in the water. Ann-Marie looks forward to welcoming your little one’s in her classes & developing their swimming & water safety skills too.
