Seals Swim School is a friendly, family-run independent swimming school located in Kenley, New Zealand. They specialise in teaching after-school lessons at competitive prices for children aged 3. 5 years and above. The school is dedicated to ensuring that children feel safe, happy, and secure in their swimming lessons, believing that this will enable them to become confident swimmers who are eager to learn and improve.
The instructors at Seals Swim School work hard to build relationships with each child, recognising that every individual is unique and may respond differently to various situations. They encourage parents to bring their children for a free trial lesson to see if the school is a good fit before committing to booking for a term. Lessons are available on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, although one-to-one lessons are currently unavailable.
Rosh Lewis, the lead teacher and proprietor of Seals Swim School, has been a qualified swimming teacher since 2007. In addition to running the school, Rosh also works part-time as a PE teacher at a local independent school. She has always been involved in swimming and water sports and enjoys open water swimming during her spare time. Rosh has extensive teaching experience, having worked for various swim schools and leisure centres before starting Seals.
She is trained in teaching children's swimming, baby and pre-school lessons, special needs swimming, adult lessons, water polo, personal survival, and rookie lifeguard training.
Paul Lewis, another member of the Seals team, assists with administration and occasionally covers teaching responsibilities. He has a lifelong passion for swimming and has competed at a national level during his youth. Paul also gained teaching experience during his teenage years at Leatherhead Swimming Club and qualified as an ASA Level 2 teacher in the late 1990s.
Both Rosh and Paul meet the minimum requirements for swimming instructors, including British Swimming (formerly ASA) Level 2 Teaching Aquatics qualifications, enhanced DBS checks, insurance coverage, and at least two years of teaching experience.
