I went into Auckland today to meet with Julia from Sweden, another au pair working in the area, who has a passion for researching the best little cafes to go to, so of course she suggested a great one! Now new people are turning up left and right and we've got some fun plans brewing for the weekend, including lots of new people, some of which who have already met each other!
Later today I went to the Steve Lindsay Swim School to get in and assist in some swim instructing, kind of like a hands on interview or almost audition for the job! I think she was pretty happy with how I was working out because in the end she just left me with her class of little ones! I ended up taking a few kids aside from their classes as well because they weren't quite up to the level of the rest of their classmates. So basically, it was more about me learning the system and a bit about the levels and just how they teach and basic things that are expected of the kids. She's asked me to email hours that I'd like to/would be able to work and then have to go meet at the other pool to get a mini tour and see how things go there as well. Soon, though, I think I'll be working Thursdays and Fridays as a swim instructor! A little extra income won't hurt either! Unfortunately, I didn't make it to yoga tonight because I was teaching from 3-5:30 so didn't have quite enough time to get over there for 6. Staying in the pool that long was incredibly easy as well. I've never taught in a pool so WARM!! It was like a bath! Amazing, and it made it so much nicer not having to deal with shivering children as well! I'm sure it's a lot easier to heat though, too, being only 2 lanes and shallow all the way across, as well as much shorter than 25m or yards even. I'll see what the other pool I could possibly be teaching at is like Monday, hopefully!
