Janina Geraghty
Janina Geraghty

Marketing & Partnerships Manager

Janina brings her extensive marketing expertise and hands-on experience as an active Learn to Swim (LTS) instructor to her role.
 
Janina’s love for the water led her to relocate to the beautiful beachside city of Wollongong, where she quickly became an enthusiastic participant in the local ocean swimming community.  In her search to find a swim coach for ocean swim events, Janina discovered an interest for teaching and became a LTS instructor.  Teaching babies, children, and adults how to swim on Saturday mornings for nearly two years has  brought Janina immense joy and a sense of purpose.
 
Outside of work, Janina actively contributes to the community as a patrolling member of the North Wollongong Surf Lifesaving Club.  Additionally, she serves on the committee in the capacity of PR and Promotions Officer, showcasing her dedication to promoting the importance of surf safety and drowning prevention.
