Meet the Teachers at Risebridge Farm

  Stefanie

  Senior Teacher (Monday)

  Stef is one of our Senior Teachers, based in the Maidstone area. She worked in Cabin Crew for 15 years at Monarch Airlines before leaving to be a stay at home mum to her two children.

  I missed being around people and always felt I wanted to teach younger children, so when this job came up I thought it was a great opportunity.

  I have 2 children and I know how important it is that they enjoy being in the water, having fun and learning a life skill also.

  I enjoy being in water and I love that I can teach a really important life skill in such a fun way, using rhymes and songs. It is energetic which the kids love too. I also like the Puddle Ducks child led approach, supporting each child individually.

  Corinne

  Teacher (Thursday)

  Corinne has been with the team for years. She started as a Poolside Assistant and is now a Baby & Pre-School teacher. She also helps Clive & Lindsay on the Operational Administration side, so she's a very busy lady!

  Corinne has four older children and is also very active in her local church.

  Robert

  Teacher (Friday)

  Robert joined us after he decided to have a career change after nearly 10 years in Retail Management. He spent a lot of time when in college, visiting primary schools to teach PE lessons, so has been able to put some of those skills to good use in the pool. 

  He joined us as a Poolside Assistant and has recently qualified as a Baby and Pre-school teacher. He is also training to teach Swim Academy. 

  What appealed to me about teaching swimming was that I can teach children a skill that will stay with them for life. I was drawn to Puddle Ducks as I believe the water safety and survival skills they teach are really important.

  Emma G

  Teacher (Sunday)

  From high fashion to splashin’ – previously Emma designed garments for Haute Couture but after spending time with her children in the lessons, it was an easy move to become a teacher.

  I love building children's water confidence and helping them to progress their swim skills. It is an important life skill, whilst also developing core strength, improving balance, coordination, building paraspinal muscles and so much more...it is also A LOT of fun!

  These days, you can generally find me running around after two young boys or squeezing in a spot of yoga or gardening if I'm lucky! I also love travelling, climbing mountains and exploring oceans.
