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
