FAREWELL FROM SPLASHED! SWIM SCHOOL - A SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ Friends,
After nearly 30 years of teaching children to swim, the time has come for me to hang up the Instructor rashie and begin a whole new adventure!
I'm posting today to let you know that I'm retiring! And along with that comes the announcement of the closure of Splashed! Swim School. We will be permanently closing on Sunday 28th September. This will be our final term of lessons, and while itโs bittersweet to say goodbye, Iโm filled with gratitude for the amazing last 16 years here in Warriewood and excitement for what lies ahead!
Splashed! has been more than just a swim school. Itโs been a vibrant part of the Northern Beaches community.
"Teaching kids water safety skills for life" and instilling a life-long love of swimming has always been at the core of our child-centered philosophy. We've watched hundreds of young kids take their first strokes, build confidence and grow into strong, capable swimmers with a respect and love for the water. Over these years we've also provided training and employment for so many enthusiastic and passionate swimming teachers who have been the soul of our program.
So, what's next? Mark & I are busy planning our next chapter: buying a caravan and setting off to lap the map of Australia! Weโre excited to explore this beautiful country, meet new people, and embrace the freedom of The Grey(-ing!) Nomads ๐.
๐ But before I hit the road, we still have five exciting weeks of Term 3 ahead! Our team remains focused on our swimmers, building their skills, making these final weeks count and finishing the term strong. Next week is Assessment Week, where we'll be carefully reviewing each child and celebrating the skills they've mastered. Whether you've been with us at Splashed! for over 10 years (like some families!) or just a term, itโs been a privilege to support each and every one of our swimmers in their Learn to Swim journey, and weโre so proud of the progress theyโve made.
I look forward to catching up with everyone over the coming weeks and please reach out if you have any questions.
With heartfelt thanks,
Toni ###
