ACE Swim Instructor - Anna Coster

Hi my name is Anna and I have been coming to ACE Swim School since my oldest child started baby lessons, over 10 years ago.

As a child I attended lessons and Swam at Moana pools in Dunedin.

I am excited to be back in the water at ACE with a new generation of little people starting their swimming journey.
