About Me

Hi, I’m Genevieve – founder of Marmalade Splash Swim School, proud mom of three, and a passionate swim instructor with over 14 years of hands-on experience teaching babies, toddlers, and children of all ages (as well as adults who are finally ready to take the plunge!).

I started Marmalade Splash in 2014 with a clear vision: to create a gentle, nurturing, and play-based environment where children could not only learn to swim but develop true water confidence and a love for swimming that lasts a lifetime.

I specialise in early swim development for toddlers and babies, with a firm focus on water safety first, always taught with gentle encouragement and a healthy dose of fun. Over the years, I’ve helped hundreds of children (and counting!) learn to swim, float, breathe, and move safely and confidently in water.

I hold multiple certifications that are updated annually to ensure the highest standards of care and instruction:

• LTS (Learn to Swim)

• PBSTA Certified Instructor

• Todd Swim Baby Course

• Level 1 First Aid & CPR

Beyond the pool, I also run a children’s cooking school — another way I love connecting with kids, nurturing confidence, independence, and creativity.

I’m incredibly proud of the community we’ve built through Marmalade Splash, and I’m so grateful to be doing what I love every day: helping children thrive in the water, one gentle splash at a time.
