Meet the Team

Hi! My name is Bronwyn and I have been teaching with Dolphin Swim school since July 2024. I started volunteering as a swim assistant at age 11 back at home in Devon and now 11 years later as a swim teacher I am still just as enthusiastic about helping kids learn.

I am so passionate about swimming and regardless of abilities, there is a place for everyone in the pool! 

Outside of swim teaching I am in my third year of university studying Graphic Design at Cardiff Met and on the weekends enjoy cozying up on the sofa with a cuppa!

Hello. I am Caroline. I started instructing with Dolphin Swim School a year ago now and have found it a highly rewarding experience. Swimming and participating in water sports has always formed a big part of my life and I recognise the lifelong importance of learning to swim and to be confident in the water. As teenager, I swam competitively for Caerphilly Swim Squad and it was then that I trained as a swimming instructor. Currently, I am a primary school teacher and have had 2 children, Ioan and Eleri who both share my love of swimming.  

Hi my names Ciara I am one of the teachers at Dolphin Swim School. I have been a member of the swim school since 2018, starting off with lifeguarding and now teaching. My favourite thing about the job is watching each individual develop their skills and becoming confident swimmers but most importantly having fun. Alongside working in the swim school I am a student at Cardiff Metropolitan University currently doing a PGCE after achieving an undergraduate degree in sports studies and physical education

My name is Eleni and I have been a swimming teacher since 2019

I have a degree in performing arts and currently am also working as a teacher in a Welsh comprehensive in Newport alongside here at Dolphin Swim School. I really love swimming and thoroughly enjoy being able to pass those skills on and help children develop. I also work as a part of the admin team so I build relationships with both children and parents and love having all round communication with everyone allowing me to share your child’s progress.

Hi! My name is Jake and I’ve been working for Dolphin Swim School since 2019. I started off my career as a teaching assistant, which then progressed to lifeguard. Since then, I have passed my STA Level 2 Swim Teachers course and now teach my own classes. I love this job as I remember how fun it was to learn when I was young, and it makes me happy that I can give the same fun, valuable experience to young children. Outside of work, I play guitar in an indie band called The Crosshairs.

Hi i'm Lee. I started Dolphin Swim School in 2008 after training to be a swimming teacher in 2002.  I have been teaching in the school since it started but have now focussed my attention on directing the business.  I come from a customer service background working for over 15 years in a large utility company at a management level focussing on process improvement and performance management.  My goal is to provide excellent swimming lessons to all abilities and encourage a fun, inclusive and hardworking atmosphere where our teachers have the tools and the talent to offer excellent lessons for your children no matter their ability.  With over 20 years experience I work with a talented team of mixed experience teachers combining the innovation of new ideas with the decades of experience  to offer excellent lessons.  

Hi, I’m Michael and I’ve been teaching swimming for over a year now. I’m also a swim coach for the Torfaen Dolphin swimming club and help their development squad. 

I’m currently doing a PGCE in secondary mathematics as well as working as a supply teacher. 

I love the sport of swimming and used to swim competitively till I was 18. I hope that through my teaching I can pass a love for swimming on to others like my swimming teacher did for me.

I have been teaching swimming at the Dolphin Swim School for over 9 years and have been teaching swimming since 1994. I am ASA level 2 qualified and attained numerous continuous professional development skills during that time, 

I am experienced in teaching group and one to one classes as well as Adult, improver and beginner classes. I am familiar with both the ASA (Swim England) and STA teaching programmes and I am a member of the STA. I thoroughly enjoy teaching as I feel that I am enriching children’s lives in a fun but structured way. 

I have also been a junior football coach for 10 years, a scuba diver for over 20 years, a wonderful time. I also like to play 5 a side football, walk the dog and many other activities.
