Kirsty McLauchlan

Bookings Coordinator / Instructor

With SwimWay since August 2021

To say I am passionate about swimming and teaching swimming is an understatement.  I live and breathe swimming and have smelt like chlorine since the age of 3!

I don’t see being a swimming instructor as a job; I see it as a rewarding passion.  I competed for South Africa, as well as my University (Southern Methodist University in Dallas, TX), where I earned my BA Degree in Creative Advertising & Graphic Design.  I attended the University as a student athlete on a Full Scholarship from 2014 to 2018.

I am a Conference Champion of the 200 and 400 Individual Medley for years 2015 and 2016, and I am ranked in the Southern Methodist University Top 10 in 3 events – the Women’s 200 & 400 yard Individual Medley as well as the 200 yard Breaststroke.  During my time studying, I also worked as a swimming instructor and coach to children and adults of all ages and abilities.

I provided club, group and one-on-one lessons during this time, all which have been truly rewarding experiences.  Having fun in the swimming pool is a priority of mine, but so is safety, progression and awareness.

Swimming is an essential life skill for development and opens doors to further opportunities and fun!
