Meet The Team

Mia Coles

Instructor

With SwimWay since May 2025

Hi, I’m Mia!

Believe it or not, I used to hate the water when I was little – I’d refuse to get in!  But over time, that fear turned into passion, and I eventually swam competitively until the age of 16. These days, I continue to swim recreationally and can’t imagine my life without it.

I knew early on that I wanted to turn my love of swimming into something meaningful.  As soon as I turned 16, I became a qualified instructor so I could start teaching others. For me, it was the perfect blend of a fulfilling job and my favourite hobby.

I’ve continued to teach since then, and I pride myself on being adaptable and student-focused.  I believe every swimmer learns differently, and my approach is always tailored to meet individual needs.  No rigid, one-size-fits-all lessons here!

What I love most about teaching is watching my swimmers grow in skill and confidence.  There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing someone go from nervous beginner to water-lover, especially when they start to enjoy swimming as much as I do!
