Swim Teacher

About us

John Sugden Swim School has been established since 1995. We are a unique and progressive organisation looking out for the development of the individual in a very supportive swimming community. In this educational setting its the swimmer first but the teachers and staff make this happen! We teach swimming to children aged 3-16 yrs using private school pools. As well, we have various Junior swim groups that require technical development and advanced coaching inclusive of personal aquatic survival skills. We wouldn't have a community of swimmers and parents to be so appreciative of without the wonderful teachers and coaches involved over the many years. Its now time to pass the baton to a new swim teacher so they can develop into a very important part of this organisation. Please Note: must be able to travel between Balwyn and Glen Waverley venues
