Swim Confidently. Grow Boldly. Compete Proudly.
At Phoenix Aquatics, we offer more than just training—we develop confident, skilled, and resilient swimmers for life.
Led by Alison Sheppard MBE (5-time Olympian) and Gary Vandermeulen (Olympic coach and international swimmer), our programme combines world-class coaching with a welcoming, supportive atmosphere where every swimmer can thrive.
From first-time splashers to performance-level athletes, our pathways are built on technical excellence, positive mindset, and lifelong passion for swimming.
Phoenix Aquatics is run by a committee of volunteer parents. We are always looking to have extra help, so if you are interested, please get in touch.

“It’s not about making champions overnight—it’s about building the foundations for lifelong swimmers and lifelong confidence.”
