The video says it all... plenty of laughs, plenty of effort, and a team that's always willing to pull together. At Fat Farmers, we're all about supporting each other, getting stuck into the workout, and having a good time while we do it.

There's no better way to start a Wednesday than with a few laughs, some friendly encouragement, and a crew that keeps each other moving from start to finish. ๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸŒพ

๐Ÿ“… Join us every Wednesday at 6:30am and become part of the Fat Farmers team!

INTRODUCING KATHRYN! ๐Ÿ‘
Let's hear all about Kathrynโ€™s journey as a swimming instructor.

๐Ÿ’ฆ ๐—›๐—ผ๐˜„ ๐—น๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐˜€๐˜„๐—ถ๐—บ๐—บ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—น๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜€?
Iโ€™ve been teaching swimming for almost a year and I recently started teaching baby classes.

๐Ÿ’ฆ ๐—ช๐—ต๐˜† ๐—ฑ๐—ผ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ต ๐˜€๐˜„๐—ถ๐—บ๐—บ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—น๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜€?
My two kids are swim mad and when they found their love of swimming it reignited my love of swimming. I love seeing the kids Iโ€™ve been teaching progress and get better each lesson.

๐Ÿ’ฆ ๐—ช๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜๐˜€ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐—ณ๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐˜๐—ฒ ๐—น๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—น ๐˜๐—ผ ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ต?
I donโ€™t really have a favourite level to teach. I love teaching tadpole level because it where they find their feet in the water and become confident in swimming short distances.
I also really love teaching the older kids from Tuna above where they are refining the skills theyโ€™ve learnt and starting to learn more complicated skills.

๐Ÿ’ฆ ๐—ช๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜โ€™๐˜€ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐—ณ๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐˜๐—ฒ ๐˜€๐—ธ๐—ถ๐—น๐—น ๐˜๐—ผ ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ต?
I love teaching competition starts and finishes, tumble turns and dives. Getting the kids ready for school sapsasa and the squad kids ready for competition.

๐Ÿ’ฆ ๐—ช๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ฑ๐—ผ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—น๐—ผ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—บ๐—ผ๐˜€๐˜ ๐—ฎ๐—ฏ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜ ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐˜€๐˜„๐—ถ๐—บ๐—บ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด?
I love seeing the kids progress - seeing the joy on their faces when they realise a skill they thought theyโ€™d never be able to do is something they can actually do and do well.

๐Ÿ’ฆ ๐——๐—ผ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ณ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—บ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐—ฎ๐—ณ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ป๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—น๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜€?
I donโ€™t have a preference for morning or afternoon classes I just love teaching all the kids.

Thank you for sharing, Kathyrn ๐Ÿ˜€

๐Ÿฅฝ Children on your account in swimming lessons also get a QR code, making arrivals quicker and simpler.
๐Ÿ˜‰ The best place to scan the QR Code is at our member scan station, but if you have questions for staff they can also scan you in.
