Our people at Upper Hutt

Delwyn

Hi everyone, I’m Delwyn. I have been teaching at Fulton’s since October 2016. I am a mother of 2 adult boys and at times to the staff at Fulton Upper Hutt!

I am a Girls’ Brigade Leader and also enjoy pottering in my garden, reading and travelling.

I love teaching swimming and get a real thrill when a student achieves their goals.

Nicole

Hey everyone, I'm Nicole.

I was born in Tauranga, but I have grown up in Upper Hutt most of my life. I have spent time in the UK and traveling Europe. I have always loved swim teaching and love it here at Fulton.

I enjoy art, reading and love spending outdoors with my friends and family. I have grown up with a big family with over twenty cousins. We have all been together as we have gotten older spending our lives in and around the water, so I am most definitely a water baby.

Kath

NZSCTA Swim Teacher of the Year 2019 Finalist

Hi, I'm Kath and I have been a swim teacher since 2008. I absolutely love what I do, it is one of the most rewarding things ever.

I have a diploma in Child Psychology and an Early Childhood Swimming qualification and find it very useful in my work. I have lived in Upper Hutt since 2007 and love to read, travel and listen to music.

I have 3 children of my own and have always loved the water, so to be able to work in the pool is the best!

Can't wait to see you all.

Angus

Hey, My name is Angus, I was born in Upper Hutt and recently returned after two years in Christchurch at the University of Canterbury. I’ve been swimming all my life and learnt to swim at the Fulton Upper Hutt pool.

Outside of work I’m currently in my third year of Uni. I study a Computer Science / Geography degree at Vic. My focus is Geographic Information Systems and remote sensing as well as database management systems.

My hobbies outside of work are hanging out with mates and exercising, you’ll probably catch me in the gym or running in the mountains with my brother.

Looking forward to seeing you round.

Liam

Hey I’m Liam.

I really enjoy swimming and have taken lessons since I was little with Fulton that have helped me in a lot of ways. In my spare time I enjoy gaming online, spending time with family and mates and playing the trombone. I wanted to become a swimming teacher so I could share my interest with kids as well as helping them improve their swim skills and safety in the water.

Grace

Hi my name is Grace. I was born in Upper Hutt and am currently studying towards a Bachelor of Education at Victoria University. In my free time I like to plays sports, go for tramps, and read a good book. I love working with young people and am involved in many groups which work with children aged 3-5 and girls in years 5-8. I love to help each person learn something new and have fun while doing it. I am super excited to be working here at Fulton Swim School helping to teach fundamental water safety skills and perfect their swimming techniques.

Siany

Kia Ora, I’m Siany I started teaching here at Fulton Swim School in 2021 and have enjoyed seeing all the kids achieve their goals and move up levels.  I have a big family but I am one of the oldest, so I have grown up looking after the younger children, which is why I’ve always wanted to work with kids. 
In my spare time I love being in the water whether it be at a pool, lake or in the ocean, so being able to work in the water is the best!  I also enjoy spending time with friends and family when ever I can.

Violet

Hello my name is Violet, I am 32 years old and have been working as a swimming instructor since 2017.
Back in Mexico I was an English teacher and when I moved to New Zealand I started my swimming instructor career, which was "teaching swimmers with disabilities " one of the main courses that defined my teaching style.
I enjoy working with children and my favorite stroke is breaststroke as it feels the most natural for my body and the stroke that allows me better to enjoy feeling movement through water.
Out of teaching I enjoy performing arts, live events and any place with Mexican food.

Sharn

G’day everyone, I’m Sharn.

Originally from Perth W.A, I moved to the Upper Hutt region with my young family in 2020 and started teaching with Fulton swim school in 2021.
I have previous experience as a swimming teacher both at the pool and at the beach.

In my spare time I enjoy playing netball and all things to do with the outdoors - swimming at the beach/river, bush walks and spending time with my family.

What I love most about being a swim teacher is building a child’s confidence in the water, helping them achieve their swimming goals and its a skill they will have for life.

I Look forward to seeing you in the pool.
