Sea Turtle Swim School

Sea Turtle Swim School Award winning! The most beautiful swim school setting in the Perth Hills. Small classes, salt water, undercover and heated all year around. Hi!

We teach from 6 month old babies to stage 4 and beginner adults. My name is Cathy Burbridge. I have been a swim teacher for 11 years now. My passion is water safety and passing on a love for the water to the people I teach. In July 2016 I was very fortunate to be awarded the Austswim 2016 Swim Teacher of the Year award. I am very privileged to be in a position to set up this small swim school at m

y home. Here, I plan to gently teach babies, young children and adults to swim in what I think are the most beautiful surroundings in Perth. There will only be one class at a time, so my pupils will feel comfortable and safe with no noisy distractions (except maybe a noisy ringneck or kookaburra!). We will have a 'home from home" atmosphere where people can blossom and develop that love of the water and hopefully our natural surroundings at the same time. My other teachers are Abigail, Tianna and Charlie and as a team we are passionate about water safety and teaching babies, kids and adults alike a love of water and swimming.

I am still in Canada unfortunately, so not advertising all the spaces I have available yet, but we do have some Level 1 spots I'd like to fill before I get back. These are suitable for 4 year old and older beginners. There is space on Wednesday at 3.15pm and Friday at 3:30pm. If you would like one of these spaces, please EMAIL me the following:
Your child's name and surname
Date of birth
Any health or learning issues
The mobile number of person who will be regularly bringing them.
Email address is [email protected]
Please don't ask me about other classes. I will advertise them when I am back.

I have to travel overseas at short notice for a family emergency. If you are looking for lessons, I am not taking any new enrolments until I have assessed my family situation. I will not be replying to any emails in the meantime. When I know what is happening, I will advertise any spaces on this page. All other information should be available on my website, www.seaturtleswimschool.com.au.

Thank you for your understanding, Cathy
