Our people at Papamoa

Rebecca

Hi my name is Rebecca, I am currently living in Papamoa with my husband and three sons. I started competitive swimming when I was 8 years old and started teaching swimming when I was 14 so it is safe to say that swimming is one of my favourite things to do. My other interests include the beach, reading, being active outdoors and I have a major sweet tooth!

I look forward to seeing you at the pool.

Hey, I'm Elaina. I've been a swimming instructor for a year now. I feel that it is very important for children to have the skill of being able to swim. I also enjoy working with children as I have previously worked in a daycare. One of my favorite things about teaching swimming is when my kids are able to master or improve on their swimming skills.
