Our Teachers

Sue Mickelson

Owner / Instructor

In 2006, I established my swim school that focuses on the importance of water safety. I wanted the swim school to have a sense of community, a safe learning environment and most importantly my students to enjoy themselves.

My core teaching philosophy has and will always be that children need to enjoy what they are doing in order to learn and grow.

Qualifications

Chloe Birgan

Swim Teacher

Chloe started swimming with Sue as a baby all the way up until she was 13. She started teaching at Sue Mickelson Swimming when she was 14 and loves putting her love of swimming into lessons! My core teaching philosophy has and will always be that children need to enjoy what they are doing in order to learn and grow.

This is such a beautiful place to come and watch your little ones swim Sue + Shannon are just brilliant when it comes to teaching. Fantastic getting the little ones listening and concentrating with firm direction and fun. coffee and snacks at an affordable price with bathroom facilities, makes for some “time out” for mum, dad, Nanna etc while the kids are entertained 😂

We love Sue's swimming classes! My 6yo twins emerge from the pool saying 'that was the best one yet!' after every lesson. Sue works with the younger teachers to ensure everyone is learning and that small problems don't become bigger ones down the track. You won't find a better swim school on the northside.
