Our Team

The Best Team of Instructors

Sam's motto in life: "Surround yourself with good people" - and we do!

Our team of dedicated, qualified and experienced instructors know the importance of balancing the proffesionalism required to teach your child how to swim whilst maintaining an element of enjoyment, so your child has fun while learning.

All our instructors have a minimum of an AustSwim qualification, however their training doesn't stop there with every instructor undergoing our intensive Sam Riley Swim Schools training program (overseen by Sam Riley).

This ensures our team will be able to make the most out of every valuable minute in the pool and keep kid's smiling.

Teaching Philosophy

We will provide a "wow" experience for every child. Through a fun, caring and respectful environment we will share our knowledge and skills, allowing your children to shine like stars.
