Hi, I’m Sara, founder and head instructor of Sunshine Swim Club. I am passionate about providing safe, inclusive, and engaging swim instruction for swimmers of all ages and abilities.
I am a qualified teacher and bring my classroom experience into the pool, ensuring lessons are developmentally appropriate and confidence-building. With over 10 years of experience in aquatics, I hold multiple certifications, including Bronze Instructor and examiner, and have extensive experience supporting swimmers with disabilities.
I’m also momma to a little water-loving girl, which has deepened my appreciation for gentle, trust-based instruction—especially for our youngest swimmers.

Hi, I’m Leece! I grew up as a competitive swimmer and now coach competitive swimmers, which has been such a rewarding way to stay connected to the sport I love. I’m passionate about helping swimmers push their limits while still feeling supported and confident in the water, and I love watching their skills and determination grow.
Outside of the pool, I love going camping, recently completed a Mud Girl race, and enjoy crocheting in my spare time. I’m also a huge animal lover—especially when it comes to aquatic animals!

Hi, I’m Elora! I’m passionate about swimming and am currently working on improving my lane speed as I train to lower my 400m time for my lifeguarding qualifications. I love being in the water and enjoy helping others build their confidence and skills in a supportive, positive environment.
Outside of the pool, I’m a Girl Guides Ranger and volunteer with younger girls, which has helped me grow as a leader and mentor. I also love to travel with my family and, when I have some downtime, I enjoy scrapbooking and crafting!
