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.

  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.
