September 2024 🩵🩵
As many of you are aware I have sold my home, the pool, and my family and I will be relocating overseas at the end of the year. 🙃
I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for entrusting me with the important task of teaching your children to swim. It has been a privilege to work with such wonderful families over the past 7 years. From humble beginnings at the Admiralty Lodge (Thank you Paul, Brian, Anna and Nicola!!) 😍 to the dream of having my own pool at home - I have had the privilege of sharing my passion for swimming with over 400 children. 🥰
Watching your children progress from timid beginners to confident swimmers has been incredibly rewarding. 🤩 I'm truly honored to have played a small part in their development. 🫶🏻
Thank you again for your trust and support. I will still be around until December, and I will still be poolside volunteering with the Swim Club - so plenty of time for goodbye chats and cuddles! 😊
Just keep swimming little ones - I will miss you all dearly !

Hello family and friends …. My crazy swim friends and I are up to our tricks again - but this time to make some money for the amazing NZ coastguard!!!!
We plan to swim 100km over the month of July - water temp is around 16 degrees and dropping at the mo - so it’s going to be a challenge 😂 but we’re all a little crazy in the Mad KOWS team! (Kuaotunu Open Water Swimmers).
Donations go directly to Coast Guard as part of the nationwide BIG SWIM! Use the link below if you want to support us … and give to this awesome cause! Thank you 🥰🥰
Madkows take on the Big Swim - Take part in The Big Swim, raising funds for Coastguard NZ
Why not dive in for Coastguard's Big Swim this July to help save more lives on the water? Or show your support by making a donation.
