Our people at Upper Hutt

Lauren

Hi, I'm Lauren.

I moved to Upper Hutt in 2020 so my husband could join the Fire Service. We have two young boys that keep us on our toes.

I have always had a passion for sport and have a Bachelor of Sport Coaching. I was the Swimming NZ Wellington regional education manager and have been working in the Learn to Swim industry for the past 12 years. I can teach all levels, babies through to adults and enjoy seeing the excitement when swimmers learn new skills.

I look forward to seeing you in the pool!

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.

My journey as a swimming instructor & coach continues and I am happy to be back here again at Fulton Swim School. Having constant communication with my friend and mentor Daniel Fulton leads to restart again.

I grew up in Philippines and graduated with a degree in Bachelor of Physical Education. Teaching swimming is my first job - summer time in 2003, I gained more than 19yrs of experienced upto now. I coached local age group top swimmers to represents Philippines National Team (Sea Age-group Games) for both Backstroke and Butterfly events.

I moved to Singapore to upgrade my skills and leads British Club Barracuda Club under Total Swimming. Coaching both Masters and Developmental swimmers back in 2012-2016.

Having a love with kids learning development becomes my passion. Seeing them happy and water safe are my biggest accomplishment plus being a competitive swimmer is a big plus reward.

With all my experience dealing with different student's personality and ability, I think I can contribute more and still looking forward to learn more new things.

Outside the pool, you will see me doing other sports activities like; basketball, badminton and volleyball.
