Founder & Director | Julia has been teaching swimming since 1999, when she established Hampton Swim School while training and competing as an Australian swimmer. With a lifelong passion for swimming, learning and child development, Julia has dedicated her career to creating positive experiences that help children grow in confidence both in and out of the water.

💙 Hampton Journey
After many years working on the frontline of teaching, customer service and administration, Julia now continues her role as Director, supporting the Hampton Leadership Team to continually grow, develop and improve the services we provide to our community.

🌱 Our Philosophy
Julia’s personal business philosophy is “Nurture, Achieve & Celebrate”—a value that remains at the heart of Hampton’s culture and is reflected in our daily operations and long-term strategy.

👨‍👩‍👧 Outside the Pool
As a proud mum of three water-loving children, Julia enjoys watching their swimming journeys through Hampton and seeing them experience the same confidence and connection that inspired her to build Hampton Swim School.

🦈 If Julia Were an Animal…
A great white shark! Julia loves her food, swims fast and, much like the shark itself, is often misunderstood! Beneath the strength and determination is someone who is deeply passionate about helping others grow, achieve and celebrate their successes.
