Kids Swim Safer With Danielle

The long-standing and much respected Airlie Beach Swim School by Danielle prides itself on providing not only the best technical development for your children but also the most important safety messages to create confident yet careful young swimmers.

“In a region like the Whitsundays, surrounded by water and where children are constantly swimming, it is so important that they know how to swim and can save themselves if they get into trouble,” said owner Danielle Shea.

Holding a Swim Safety Week every term, the instructors at Airlie Beach Swim School by Danielle focus on educating children on how to save themselves through swim smarts such as turning on your back to float if in trouble and calling out for help.

Danielle has been swimming her whole life, competing and winning medals at the state and country level.

She then travelled the world, living overseas for some time before returning to Australia and re-uniting with her passion for swimming and combining it with her love for children.

Airlie Beach Swim School was born 10 years ago, and Danielle has since won several accolades which include Swim Teacher of the Year in 2020/21 and Best Swim Safer Swim School in 2019.

From mums, dads and bubs classes for children as young as four months old right through to junior squads competing against each other at the annual swim carnival, there are a range of classes available.

Your children will learn in a safe and supportive environment where they can develop at their own pace and learn to feel confident moving their bodies in the water.

Danielle has three qualified swim teachers working alongside her, Loretta and Lynda plus her mother, also called Lynda who owned her own swim-school for 38 years.

Between all instructors there is over 50 years’ experience.

Celebrating 10 years this December, Danielle is thrilled to achieve such a huge milestone and honoured to have taught so many little ones how important it is to be water safe.
