Bevin has loved the water since she was a baby and continues to bring her passion for swimming into every lesson she takes. She began competitive squad swimming at the age of 12 and spent her teens and early adulthood swimming and travelling as a provincial backstroker and integral member of her provincial swimming community.
Shortly after stopping competitive swimming in order to study, Bevin began teaching learn-to-swim and is now in her 9th year as a swimming teacher.
With her knowledge of psychology and hypnotherapy, coupled with a natural sensitivity and empathy, Bevin endeavours to find the most appropriate teaching approach for each individual child and their unique needs.
Bevin is Internationally Certified as a Baby, Pre-School and Learn-To-Swim Instructor. She also holds an International STA Safety and Rescue Certificate.
Holding the trust and connection between herself and her students as of paramount importance, Bevin’s patience and playfulness continues to yield great results with all the children she interacts with.
In January 2022, Bevin discovered a love and natural talent for pool freediving. After a very short time of intensive training, she has broken the South African 3 times over and now holds a whopping 165 meter record for Dynamic No Fins, and 212 meter record for Bi-Fins. 2023 will see her travel to South Korea to compete in the Aida Freediving World Championships. We cannot be prouder of our Coach Bevin.
