💦 WELCOME TO THE WAI SPLASH TEAM, VANESSA!💙

We are super excited to officially welcome Vanessa Scott, our new Programmes & Events Coordinator, who kicked off her new role on Monday! 🎉

Vanessa brings a big smile, a vibrant personality and plenty of fun and enthusiasm to the Wai Splash team! 🥰

Some of you might recognise her friendly face from another popular spot in town… 🍟🍔

Vanessa is also a busy mum of three beautiful girls, with one keeping her especially busy in the swimming world! 🏊‍♀️ So she certainly knows her way around the poolside and understands just how important swimming and community activities are for our families.

Vanessa has taken over all the responsibilities of our Swim School Coordinator role, plus a whole lot more! As Wai Splash continues to grow and introduce new programmes, activities and events for our community, we felt it was time for the position to grow with it!

Don't worry, Swim School is still a huge part of Vanessa's role! You'll be seeing plenty of her on poolside, supporting our swimmers, instructors and families, but she'll also be working behind the scenes (and out in the community!) helping bring new ideas, opportunities and exciting events to life.

With her experience, bubbly personality and fresh ideas, we can't wait to see what Vanessa brings to Wai Splash!

Make sure you say hello when you see her around and give her a big Wai Splash welcome! 💙

Welcome aboard, Vanessa! We're so happy to have you on the team! 🌊🐬

🚨💀 TITAN ELIMINATION TIME: THE HALL OF SHAME! 💀🚨

Well, well, well… LOOK WHO COULDN'T HANDLE THE HEAT! 🔥🤣

We've officially had our FIRST eliminations from the Splash of the Titans Challenge and we are absolutely EMBARRASSED to announce…

THEY'RE ALL WAI SPLASH STAFF. 💀💀💀

YES. STAFF. PEOPLE WHO LITERALLY WORK AT A SWIMMING POOL. SO HERE'S THE EVIDENCE GETTING HERE ISN'T THE HARDEST PART GETTING IN IT! 🏊‍♀️🤣

And because we believe in accountability here at Wai Splash… we're naming and shaming! 📢

🪦 Anika – Eliminated. No excuses accepted.

🪦 Kaiya – All that pool access, all that wasted potential.

🪦 Taylor – The water was literally RIGHT THERE.

We'd like to thank our fallen Titans for their brief and underwhelming contribution to the competition. 😂👏

The rest of our Titans can sleep easy knowing the competition has officially become a little less… staffed 🤣 and they won't be the first Titans fallen!

NO MERCY. NO EXCUSES. NO SECOND CHANCES. 🔱⚡
