Abigail Parkin
Owner/Instructor/STA Tutor
I began teaching back in 2006 after an ex olympic swimmer, the manager of the swim scheme I was lifeguarding for suggested I try teaching, and I haven't looked back! Learning a new skill, at any age, can come with challenges and development highs and lows, and I find supporting all our swimmers to reach their goals and find a love of the water and being water safe truly fulfilling.
​
I hold the Level 1 and 2 Swim England (Previously ASA) teaching qualifications along with the STA Baby and PreSchool Teaching Award and STA Level 3 Baby and PreSchool Diploma. I am an STA Baby and PreSchool Aquatic Tutor and an NPLQ lifeguard trainer assessor, along with holding a Pool Plant 3 Operator.
Staff
All our teachers hold STA/Swim England Teaching Qualifications appropriate for the levels they teach, Enhanced DBS checks and up to date certified Safeguarding Training. They all hold an up to date RLSS or STA teacher rescue qualification with some also qualified as full NPLQ Lifeguards.
​
Splash Academy teachers all hold a formal Baby and PreSchool qualification and undertake in house training before starting lessons.
​
All our teachers also undertake continued professional development each year to update and improve their skills.
​
Our Assistant Teachers are also fully qualified swimming teachers in their own right which allows us to deliver the best lessons we can for your child!
