Our Team
At South Coast Squids, we’re a family who understands families.
We know life is busy, and we understand that every child learns differently. Our team is passionate about creating a swimming experience where every child feels safe, supported, and celebrated — whether they need extra time, thrive on routine, or simply need a teacher who understands them.
With decades of combined experience delivering aquatic education programs, our team brings knowledge, care, and a genuine love for teaching to every lesson. We invest in our instructors, creating a consistent team of passionate teachers who build strong relationships with swimmers and help them grow in confidence, skills, and their love of the water.
SOPHIE WANSTALL
MANAGING DIRECTOR
You'll find Sophie on pool deck most days, teaching lessons, supporting instructors and overseeing lesson quality to ensure every child receives a consistently high standard of instruction. Sophie is also your first point of contact for enrolment enquiries, level assessments and finding the program that's the perfect fit for your family.
TODD GOODRICH
MANAGING DIRECTOR
Todd is the friendly face you'll often find chatting with families around the centre, keeping everything running smoothly behind the scenes and making sure our facility is looking its best. From maintenance and retail to accounts and day-to-day operations, Todd works to ensure every visit to South Coast Squids is a positive experience.
