Employee of the Month | Meet Isaac!

Although if you’ve been around SwimTastic for a while, you’ll probably already know him.

Isaac has been part of the team for three and a half years, teaching everything from school-age lessons and mini squads to adult Learn to Swim classes.

He’s also a former SwimTastic swimmer himself, a keen runner, ex-rugby player, and currently finishing his Bachelor of Science in Geography and Environmental Science.

What does he love most about coaching? Watching his swimmers progress. Whether that’s helping kids move through the levels or seeing adults build their confidence in the water, it’s what makes the job so rewarding.

He’s also big on making lessons fun, finding ways to keep swimmers engaged while helping them improve.

A very well-deserved Employee of the Month.👏

Meet Callum! 👋

From learning to swim at SwimTastic to becoming one of our coaches, Callum’s come full circle.

After going through the SwimTastic programme himself, he returned as a coach and quickly fell in love with the role.

These days, you’ll find him working with our swimmers and preschoolers, and one of his favourite parts of the job is watching their progress. From being too nervous to put their head underwater to confidently swimming full laps.

Outside the pool, he’s just as active. Golf, fishing, sport, you name it. And according to Callum, he’s also the funny one on the team… 😂

Another round of swimming misconceptions!

There are plenty of things people assume about learning to swim that aren’t quite right. So, we’re back unpacking a few more common misconceptions, sharing what actually happens in the pool and hopefully clearing a few things up along the way.

Have you heard any of these before? 👀

SwimTastic Skills: The Kick!

Spend enough time around SwimTastic, and there’s one word you’ll hear a lot… KICK!

It’s one of the most important (and often underrated!) skills in swimming.
A strong, consistent kick helps keep your body balanced and your legs up near the surface. Without it, your legs can sink, creating more drag and making you work harder to move through the water.

And remember, kicking isn’t just about your feet! A good kick starts from the hips, with a relaxed, continuous movement through the legs and ankles.

Someone suggested we turn the SwimTastic team into The Office intro…

How did we do?

We asked Amy what she loves most about her lessons…

That moment they jump off the side into Mum or Dad’s arms, sometimes dipping under before popping back up with the biggest smile.

A little bit of bravery, a whole lot of joy.

The Pool Deck Round-Up! 💙

A little monthly dump of some of the best bits from in and out of the pool. It’s been a busy one!

Starting strong with a few familiar faces poolside! The One NZ Warriors joined us for a pool and rehab session and very kindly left us with a signed jersey. After an incredible season, it was pretty special to have them through SwimTastic!

Employee of the Month! | Meet Peter 👋

68 years old, swimming four times a week, and still just as passionate about the pool as ever.

Peter started competitive swimming at just six years old and spent much of his childhood training six days a week. After a career that took him around the world, he eventually found his way back to swimming - and then to SwimTastic.

He first joined us as a swimmer. Now, he’s on the other side of the lane coaching everyone from school-age swimmers through to adults.

Peter especially loves coaching squads, where he can get into the finer details of technique and really help swimmers understand why they’re doing what they’re doing.

But his approach goes well beyond technique.
As Peter puts it, “Teaching people is an art.”

“It’s about getting to know your swimmers, earning their trust, understanding what makes them tick, and recognising the parents standing behind them, too.”
