About
My name is Mel Nelson, I have a wonderful husband Dave and three beautiful children Riley (2008) Cooper (2009) & Jordan (2014).
I have been teaching traditional swimming lessons for many years and love it; I feel that the lessons we offer are very progressive and certainly give parents the peace of mind when it comes to water safety and skills. I believe that we teach all aspects of swimming with a results-orientated programme,
I teach an Infant aquatic survival programme which is a programme based on the child’s developmental stage and offers a safe, nurturing, progressive environment where the child develops skills that will save their life. I am truly amazed at what a child can achieve and retain in a their lesson.
My swim school opened on 17th July 2017, located at 3A Trumper Drive, in the light Industrial Area (LIA), Busselton WA 6280. Lessons for Stages & Stroke programmes for children, where levels are aligned with Royal Life Endorsed Swim Schools WA , Access and Inclusion options and Adult one on one lessons are available also.
I absolutely love working with children, am extremely passionate about teaching, and believe every child should have access to this life-saving skill.
