25.01.2022 Beautiful swimming from Hannah. Moving into full lengths of the pool Well done.
24.01.2022 What a smile!!
23.01.2022 This is miss Sam! She is one of our amazing swim instructors I have been with Rackley’s for 3 years now. Many of you will recognize me as Westlake’s former manager however I really missed teaching and I also study full time - I’m so happy to be back in the water as a swim instructor now! I have a passion for teaching which is why I’m doing my degree in teaching which I absolutely love!... I was a state swimmer in high school so I really know my swim strokes and I can teach the kids from personal experience. In my spare time I love to stay active by going to the beach and training at our local F45 around the corner. I also love watching football.
23.01.2022 Meet our incredible Swim School Manager Amy! My name is Amy, and I have recently taken on the roll as manager for Westlake. I’m really enjoying the new roll and have felt so welcomed by all our swim families. ... I am married with 2 beautiful boys and also have some crazy dogs which keeps me busy! In my time away from the center I love spending every moment I can with my family We are pretty active and enjoy going on adventures - especially anything involving the water! If I get the chance to relax my perfect afternoon would be relaxing with a platter of nibbles in a scenic location with my family.
23.01.2022 Well done Jackson and Henry, bigger and better things ahead.

I’ve been working at Rackley Swimming Westlake for just over 2 years now and I’ve made some great friends and so has Gunnar through his swim classes. It’s a great community of people and I love being a part of the team and sharing in all the little goals of our swimmers. In my spare time I enjoy gardening and grow a lot of our own fruits and vegetables. We also have pet chickens and quails.
