🚨 WHO IS THIS MYSTERY GARDENING GURU? 🚨

We checked the cameras and discovered this little gardening fairy had mysteriously appeared in the Gould Swim Academy car park… fully kitted out in his hi-vis, hard hat, earmuffs, gumboots and all.

No invoice.

No complaints.

Just turned up, grabbed the whipper snipper and got to work.

After a thorough investigation, we can confirm the mystery tradie is Will, who came along to help his mum Belinda tidy up around the carpark.

And judging by the outfit, he took the job VERY seriously. 😂

Thanks Will, the car park has never been in safer hands!

Gould Swim Academy’s youngest groundsman? We think so.

💦 SAFETY WEEK IS BACK! 💦

From Monday 21st – Saturday 26th September, we’re putting an extra focus on one of the most important parts of swimming lessons, water safety!

To make the week a little more fun, swimmers can come dressed in their footy colours or pyjamas 🏉💤

And there’s one important rule for the week…

🚫🥽 NO GOGGLES!

Learning to be confident and capable in the water without goggles is an important safety skill because in a real life situation, we don’t get to stop and put our goggles on!

We’ll have lots of fun, with an extra focus on keeping our little swimmers safe.

We can’t wait to see everyone’s footy colours and PJs!

MEET OUR TEAM – CHARLIE 💙

For Charlie, Gould Swim Academy really has come full circle.

Charlie started swimming lessons at Gould when he was just 8 months old, after moving to Albury with his Mum and Dad. He continued right through to squad level and, having always loved the water, remembers being inspired by two of his favourite teachers, Kristy and Annette. Even when he was young, Charlie would say that one day he wanted to become a swim instructor himself.

And now here he is, proudly wearing the Gould rashie! 💙

Charlie loves helping his students develop their skills and watching their confidence grow in the water. There’s something pretty special about now working alongside some of the very people who played such a big part in his own swimming journey.

Outside the pool, Charlie lives with his parents, younger brother Flynn, sister Tilly and his Mini Schnauzer, Milo. He’s also incredibly musical, playing saxophone, piano and guitar, and loves performing on stage. He’s appeared in local productions including The Lion King and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, and you may have spotted him singing at Albury Carols by Candlelight last year.

And his fun fact is a pretty impressive one… 🎶

Later this month, Charlie will perform at the Sydney Opera House as part of the backing choir for The Cat Empire!

Charlie’s advice to our swimmers is simple:
“Have fun and always try your best!”

We absolutely love seeing one of our own Gould swimmers come full circle and become part of the team. 💙🏊‍♂️

MEET OUR TEAM – JESS 💙

Meet Jess, another one of the teaching team that you'll find on pool deck at Gould Swim Academy.

Jess joined the Gould team within the last year after making a career change, and we're so glad she did. With a lifelong love of swimming and a passion for helping others, teaching swimming has been a natural fit.

Originally moving to Albury when she was 18, Jess has called the region home ever since. She is a proud mum to Julian, Hannah and Jocelyn, wife to Dave, and dog mum to Sunny. Family is at the heart of everything she does, and that caring nature shines through in every lesson she teaches.

For Jess, the water has always been her happy place. She loves being able to pass on that same love of swimming to the next generation while teaching one of life's most important skills, water safety. Watching swimmers grow in confidence and ability is what makes every day worthwhile.

When she's not at the pool, you'll find Jess enjoying the outdoors, travelling, spending time with family and friends, planning her next cruise, or getting creative with resin art.

What makes Gould special to Jess is the brilliant, caring team she gets to work alongside every day.

Her advice for new swimmers and their families is simple:

"Safety first, practice and more practice... and most importantly, have lots of fun!"

Jess also lives by a quote from John Lennon that perfectly reflects her outlook on life:

"When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy'. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment and I told them they didn’t understand life”

MEET OUR TEAM – ERIN 💙

Meet Erin, one of the newest members of the Gould Swim Academy team!

Erin is currently completing her traineeship with us, learning all aspects of the swim school. From working behind the scenes in the office to teaching in the pool, she's embracing every opportunity to learn, grow and develop her skills.

Growing up in Tallangatta with her parents and four sisters, Erin has always enjoyed being active. She played netball until she was 17 and also spent three years playing water polo, giving her a great appreciation for being in and around the water.

After being encouraged by a friend to give swim teaching a try, Erin joined the Gould family and we're so glad she did!

Her favourite part of teaching is watching our students grow in confidence and ability each week. She loves celebrating their progress and hearing all of the wonderful stories they excitedly share during lessons.

Outside of work, you'll most likely find Erin camping with family and friends or spending quality time with her nieces.

When asked what makes Gould special, Erin didn't hesitate:

"The family like community and amazing group of people I get to work with every day."

We're so excited to have Erin as part of the Gould team and can't wait to see where her journey takes her. 💙

MEET OUR TEAM – SOPHIE 💙

Meet Sophie, one of our young but experienced swim teachers here at Gould Swim Academy.

Many of our families will know Sophie, having taught hundreds of children over the past 5 years. Her honest nature and ability to build genuine relationships with both swimmers, their families and her workmates, make her a much loved member of our team.

Having grown up around the pool, teaching has become second nature to Sophie. She understands that every child learns differently and has developed a wonderful ability to adapt her teaching to suit each swimmer, helping them build confidence while achieving fantastic results. Sophie often gets results with children who have had trouble progressing in the past. She speaks their language and meets them where they are at.

Outside of Gould, Sophie enjoys spending time with family and friends, watching her beloved Hawks play footy, camping, spending time with her nephew Kade and travelling. She's always happy to share a laugh and have a chat and thoroughly enjoys getting to know her students and families well. She is super organised, remembers everything and often tells other staff, usually Nadine, her Mum, what she should be doing! 😂

As a teacher, Sophie is kind but firm, clear and consistent. She creates a calm learning environment where children feel comfortable to challenge themselves, celebrate their achievements and enjoy coming to lessons each week. Her swimmers continue to make excellent progress, which is a credit to the care and effort she puts into every class.

Watching Sophie grow from one of our youngest teachers into the confident and capable instructor she is today has been incredibly rewarding. She has become an important part of the Gould Swim Academy family, and we know she will continue to make a positive difference in the lives of so many young swimmers.

Thanks for everything you do, Sophie. We're incredibly proud of the teacher you've become and grateful to have you as part of our team. Keep up the amazing work! 💙👏
