Episode 5 – Ace, Georgia & Annabelle – Splashes of Wisdom: Stories from Swimming Instructors
Today, we’re excited to welcome Ace, Georgia, and Annabelle—three incredible young people who’ve chosen an unconventional path by becoming swimming instructors while balancing their studies. Instead of the typical student jobs in hospitality or retail, they’ve found fulfilment and purpose in the pool.
Having taught alongside them at Waves, I can personally attest to their dedication and passion for teaching. In this episode, we’ll dive into what drew them to swimming instruction, the unique challenges they face, and the rewarding experiences they’ve gained. We’ll also explore how they juggle their busy schedules as students and instructors, and whether swimming teaching is a stepping stone to their future careers or a long-term career in the water.
Tune in for a refreshing conversation on life, learning, and making waves in unexpected places!
