I grew up in a large family, that loved to be active, particularly around the beach and swimming and swimming pools. Swimming came naturally to me, and I grew up swimming at various beaches, creeks and local pools. My story moves into competitive swimming, tertiary education, complementary medicine and eventually, a career in Aquatics.
I first started working in the Aquatic Industry as a teenager, working as a swim coach in between travelling overseas and finishing a University degree. Then, decades later, and with another career in between, I ventured back into Aquatics!
Swim Tours Australia for me, is about sharing my deep love of the ocean, swimming and creating authentic connections.
Jae is a dedicated and accomplished swim coach, with a passion for helping swimmers achieve their goals in the water. With more than 30 years experience in working with adult swimmers, Jae has merged his background in coaching, Surf Life Saving and managing aquatic facilities, to become an integral member of the Swim Tours Australia team.
Although Jae competed at state and national level in the pool and surf, his real skill is being able to help all levels of swimmers feel comfortable and confident in the open water.
Wade is an accomplished photographer and swim coach, with a unique blend of talent and experience. His stunning photography has taken him to the Paris Olympics where he captured iconic moments in the various sporting arenas.

I am a nature lover and believe in reducing our impact on the planet. My values in business revolve around helping others, embracing
differences and being kind. I have a passion for swimming and wellbeing, and want others to experience the joy of swimming while being
present in nature. I believe the locations we have chosen are wonderful places to share this experience.
Swim Tours Australia will align with like-minded business i.e. those that support our tours to take people into nature and challenge their inner limits, while bringing people together in a unique community.
