Sally-Kay from Te Kuiti doesn’t let the fact that she is deaf stop her from swimming, swim teaching or up skilling with Swimming New Zealand courses.
Sally-Kay completed her Assistant Swim Teacher Award in 2012 (now the National Certificate in Sport and Recreation – Aquatics) and has gone on to attend the School Age and Adult course and is working towards completing this qualification.
Her presence at the course gave an opportunity for the other course participants to work with a deaf swimmer in the water, although Sally-Kay wears a cochlear implant water proof cover and is able to hear while swimming.
Sally-Kay also attended the Teaching Swimmers with Disabilities course in Matamata earlier in September this year.
