Mega
In the spring of 2011 Meg Amauchi opened the doors to the prestigious Mega Swim School, in the Byron Bay hinterlands. Her beautiful indoor heated salt water pool, with views across the hill tops to Lennox Head was now the place for Meg to share her experience, expertise and innovative approach to swimming, with the families of the Northern Rivers. With Meg’s unique teaching style combining knowledge, education and a strong safety theme, the Mega Swim School has become known for outstanding results and high quality service.
