25.01.2022 Its Staff Member Sunday! Today we're getting to know one of our amazing instructors, Andrew. He's been with State Swim for over 1.5 years! Did you know that Andrew plays ice hockey? Playing ice hockey has taken him to many places around the world , including Bulgaria, Finland, Sweden, Canada, Czech, Iceland, Estonia, and America! Wow!... Here is Andrew's story: "I was born in Australia. My parents are Malaysian. Currently I am doing the third year of a computer science degree. I chose computer science as I enjoy creating with computers". In Andrew's spare time, he usually checks his investment portfolio (he thinks he checks it too often ) looking for opportunities. He also creates fun side projects to build upon in a computer science based resume. We're so thrilled that you're part of the team, Andrew!

This is his story: "My family started Clovercrest Swim School. My first lesson in the water was at Clovercrest at 6 weeks of age. My mother loved to tell stories of how at 1-year old I used to float around whilst she was teaching. There were times she would let my floaties down so I could go under the water... and parents would jump in thinking I was in trouble! Mum would just roll her eyes and tell me to swim". 5: Jamie was swimming in Squads at Clovercrest at about 6 or 7 years old. 6: Jamie worked for Disney on a cruise ship as entertainment staff!
