Celebrating our SwimMagic industry leaders
We’re incredibly proud to celebrate our SwimMagic people and programmes recognised at the SCTNZ Conference and Awards, showcasing the amazing leaders we have within our team and the impact they’re making across our industry.
Chuli received the Master Swim Teacher Award (Nan Nevin Award), recognising her outstanding contribution to swim teaching, mentoring, leadership, staff development and the wider learn-to-swim and water safety sector.
Kirstie was recognised for her Outstanding Contribution to Learn to Swim and Water Safety, including her work helping deliver water safety education to more than 3,000 students across 10+ local schools each year.
Roseanne and the SwimMagic Ōtāhuhu team were also recognised for their innovative ASD Super Swimmers programme, creating a supportive and tailored pathway for children with autism and additional needs to build confidence and essential water safety skills.
SwimMagic was also proudly represented throughout the SCTNZ Conference, with Chuli presenting on customer experience and helping deliver an in-water session focused on adaptive learning for students with additional needs. Our GM of Programmes, Lynn, also took part in a panel discussion exploring the future of swim schools, sharing her experience and insights on where our industry is heading.
We’re so proud to have leaders in our industry within SwimMagic, sharing their knowledge, driving innovation and making a genuine difference in our pools and communities every day.
A huge congratulations to everyone recognised!
