Melanie

Owner & Coach of Bubbles Learn 2 Swim. Started swimming school in 2007 and is blessed to have taught so many young swimmers to swim. Mother of two. Lives by the following motto: "We can think of ourselves not as teachers, but as gardeners. A gardener does not grow flowers, he tries to give them what he thinks they need and then they grow by themselves."

Chanel

Have been a swimming instructor for more than 6 years. Considers herself an extrovert and loves meeting new people and helping others. This is one of the reasons she became an instructor. She loves watching movies and going to the beach in her free time. If time permits, she loves to travel. Lives by the quote: "Do good and good will come your way."

Leigh-Anne

Really likes to make kids smile and laugh while she coaches. She tries to let them enjoy and have fun during a swimming lesson so that they have a positive memory of water. She is also a foodie and loves to cook. The quote she lives by is from the Bible, (Isaiah 41:10): "Don't be afraid. For I am with you. Don't be discouraged, for I am with God. I will strengthen you and help you."

Bernice

Have been coaching at Bubbles for 18 months and loves her job. Her hobbies are painting, drawing, going to the beach and quite recently working with kids. Kids can really cheer you up and make your day by doing the smallest and most innocent things. Her motto is simple: "Just keep swimming!"

Hester

Is in charge of getting the little ones to and from Bubbles. You will often see her driving around in the Bubbles bus. Her top priority is safety and she takes this seriously when delivering her precious cargo. Every child she transfers has a special place in her heart. Some of the kids even call her "Ouma". Her motto in life is: "Treat others as you want to be treated."

Thandie

Gets the swimmers ready for the pool, create a clean / slip-free environment and ensures the smooth running of the school. She loves cooking and playing with her four children. She is a devoted Christian and considers everyday a blessing.
