Angela Wild - Part 1

Welcome to another episode of the Aquatic Mentors podcast. I am your host, Katrina van Eyk.

In this episode I interview an industry professional who started in the fitness industry covering personal training and water aerobics and then found her passion in aquatics where she has now reached over 20 years of swim teaching. So, please extend a big welcome to the podcast for Angela Wild.

Angela started her career in the fitness industry working with clients as a personal trainer and a water aerobics instructor. Clients saw her skills working with people in the water and began to ask her to teach their children. The seed of interest grew, and Angela investigated her options and became a swim teacher.

During her time managing swim schools and working as a swim teacher Angela completed a Bachelor and Master of Arts in Kinesiology, Fitness, and other connected qualifications.

In 2017 Angela took the skills she had developed working in and around the industry and opened her own swim school called Elemental Aquatics and over 4 years later is still going strong.

Angela advocates for drowning prevention and active lifestyles for children and took the plunge onto Tiktok videos sharing her aquatic knowledge and drowning prevention to a new audience and in a very creative way. She uses her Tiktok videos to connect with other aquatic professionals, parents of swimmers, and hopes to use her videos to inspire and mentor the younger generation into the aquatics industry.

As Angela has such a wealth of knowledge, we couldn’t contain the interview into one episode, so it has been expanded into a two week feature so remember to look out for next week’s episode where I continue the conversation with Angela Wild.

Through today’s episode Angela shares some insights into her work as well as her thoughts on swimming and where she see’s swimming moving to in the future.
