| Hi! We will meet & greet you ... give you advise & fit swimwear, goggles & caps to ensure your child is ready to make the most of their lessons ... and at the end of lessons are all great at interacting and encouraging children with the essential 'reward hand-stamp' ... oh and we make a great espresso. |

- I have grown up with kids so I am very tame & friendly ... I love getting rubbed & that kids come and see how I am. So come and say hello.
| - I grew up here at The Swim Centre being hand fed, visited & rubbed by kids each day so am very friendly. Remember to bring your food scraps for me when you come to lessons each week.
