About Me

Hi everyone my name is Kay

I am the owner of Family Aquatics Swim School.

When we lived in England I used to thoroughly enjoyed devoting my time taking Lorna across the country attending many Competitive Swim Meets.

When Lorna fell pregnant in 2016, this is when I had the idea of opening up a Swim School as a small side hustle as I want to offer other parents a place to start their children’s Swimming Journey and enjoy it as much as I did.

It took a few years to work out the ins and outs of opening my own business but back in 2020 Lorna and I final made it and opened Family Aquatics.

If you see me around please come and say hi

FUN FACT ABOUT ME: I used to be a fully qualified nurse and midwife for 42 years. Before I retired in 2021 I was running the mothers department in a major hospital.

Hi Families

My name is Lorna and I am the manager at Family Aquatics Swim School. I helped the owner build the business back in 2020.

I used to be a competitive Swimmer back in England, competing for my county Nottinghamshire County Elite Squad (Nova Centurion Swimming Club) for many years.

I moved to Australia in 2006 and found my passion for swimming again when i became an Instructor.

I also used to work in Childcare for 8 Years before having a little man of my own in 2016

I am truly passionate about educating children about the importance of water safety and helping them feel safe and secure in their swimming environment as we live in a state surrounded by water.

It is my mission to. . . . . . .

I look forward to meeting you all and helping your children through their swimming journey.

FUN FACT ABOUT ME: I used to compete against England’s 2008 Gold Medalist Rebecca Addlington between 2000 and 2005 when we both swam for Nottinghamshire County before I moved to Australia in 2006.

About Me

Hi Everyone

My name is Courtney

I recently became a Learn to Swim instructor in April last year 2023 with Family Aquatics. After signing my daughter up to swimming lessons, each week at her lesson, I took on board all instruction and knowledge on how to help her improve. This caught Lorna’s eye and asked if I thought about becoming an instructor as she thought I had the potential to help others like she helped me.

I used to work in childcare for many years before I had my daughter and I thoroughly enjoy working and giving the gift of education to children and watching them thrive in different areas of life.

I am both Teacher and Water Safety and Infant and preschooler qualified. Although I teach both areas, and since then i feel like my calling is our Babies through to Toddlers as I feel like I have helped to kick start their swimming journey in the right direction and given them the correct tools and knowledge so they can further their journey.

FUN FACT ABOUT ME: I am a fully qualified hairdresser and my partner and I own a lawn mowing business ‘Grow, Mow, Go’.
