Our people at New Plymouth

Elise

Hey, I’m Elise.
I began swim teaching in 2020, and my passion for teaching the life skill of swimming has grown ever since. From having grown up in and around the water, I understand the importance of water safety and love passing on my knowledge to those who I get the opportunity to teach.

In my spare time, I enjoy traveling and exploring new places, photography, and spending time with friends and family.

I look forward to seeing you at the pool!
