Aquatic Education Provider

NZ Aquatic Education and Training has developed to provide Skills Active accredited swim instructor and lifeguard qualifications. This has come from our own experience in the aquatic industry and the desire to want to contribute positively to support the profession. Working in the industry on a daily basis means we understand what you need as both employees and employers. We want course participants to feel prepared from day 1 and we want to support employers in having productive staff as soon as possible.

Having been in the industry for over 25 years, we have researched, tried and tested, resulting in a wealth of knowledge delivered in a way that works. Combined with our ethos and drive to deliver an exceptional level of service, specifically via our pre-course preparation and post-course follow-up, we can offer the most professional of education experiences.

Ashleigh Pushon

Swim Instructor Trainer & Assessor

I have over 10 years experience in the swim school industry having started off as a part-time teacher whilst studying. Even as a qualified secondary school teacher, I saw the opportunity to apply these skills in the aquatic industry. After graduating I took up a fulltime position as a swim school Site Manager, along with responsibilities for designing a swim instructor training programme. Since then, I have completely rewritten and constantly improved the programme in order to achieve an effective and efficient way of training new instructors so they can feel confident and productive from day 1. In addition to this, I have presented at national industry conferences and in local schools. My passion is people and how to engage with individuals and teams. This is what I love about facilitating courses; every single group is different, and we can always learn something new – much like swim teaching! I hope to learn more about you at the next course

Fallyn Birtwistle

Lifeguard Trainer & Assessor

I have over 14 years experience in the aquatic industry and over 6 years experience of presenting. My background in the aquatic industry has been varied, having worked in a number of environments, which has only added to my skillset to pass onto others. I believe that in order to be a successful pool lifeguard you need to be able to apply appropriate supervision and be prepared to handle any situation in an aquatic environment. With my experience and understanding of the pool lifeguard role as well as pool management I am able to deliver effective training to meet the needs of the trainee and facility.
