Helping Swim Schools find success.
Swim schools are a people first sector: they are grounded in people.
As a mentor, advisor, collaborator and connector, whether for leaders, teams, individuals or businesses, I help inject fresh thinking so swim schools can move forward with renewed purpose and success.

Meet Scott
I want to see swim schools do well, regardless of size or location - creating a more respected, connected, collaborative profession across the country, united by a shared purpose and higher standards: improving the Learn to Swim (LTS) experience and the positive impact it has in our communities. We’re stronger when we connect and improve together. To swim well gives us a fuller life.
It starts with a conversation – so contact me today.

“Lifting understanding and performance: Scott delivered outstanding professional development for our Taieri Swim Club instructors on two occasions over the last 12 months. His engaging, energetic style immediately captured the room, and his ability to connect with instructors of all levels made the learning both accessible and highly relevant. Scott created an environment where people felt comfortable to contribute, reflect, and challenge their own thinking.
The impact: our instructors immediately feeling more confident and aligned, with noticeable improvements in both individuals teaching and the way the team works together.”
Tony McGrath
Taieri Swim Club
“Many people call themselves experts, but then every now and then you actually meet one. For me Scott is one of the experts of the swimming industry. With significant experience both running his own and working for some of the largest swim schools in Australia, he brings a wealth of knowledge to all levels, from teacher training to company management and strategic direction.
It’s always a pleasure working with Scott. He understands swimming, has a passion for it and knows how to clearly communicate where improvement and growth opportunities exist.”
Todd Morton
Owner EasySwim Swim School
”I worked alongside Scott for seven years at Aquatic Achievers Swim Schools Brisbane.
Scott knows every aspect of running a business and his knowledge of the swim school industry is extensive.
In his role of Head of Program and Teaching, Scott contributed significantly in improving the staff capabilities and program’s lesson plans to what they are today at Aquatic Achievers.
As a leader, Scott took a deep interest in every staff member. He worked closely with each individual, especially around their feedback growth preference . Scott worked with staff to transition them from being newly qualified swim teachers, becoming good teachers and then to being great swim teachers. His engaging style of training, individuals and groups, were always well received by the staff.
His ability to make things simple, and applicable to the recipient's needs is one of his strengths.”
