About

Meet Amir,
your head coach

International water polo competitor. AUSTSWIM-certified swim instructor. A Melbourne coach who has taken swimmers from their first lap to national-league competition, and occupational candidates through the tests that decide their careers.

Whether you want to feel safe in the water for the first time or compete at the highest level, the coaching standard is the same.

Amir Moradi (Amirali Moradinoghondar) is a professionally qualified swim instructor and water polo coach based in Melbourne. He coaches swimmers from three-year-old beginners to adult national-league athletes, and has personally prepared more than 50 candidates for police, defence, navy, aviation and lifeguard swimming assessments.

His playing career began in Iran, where he spent six seasons in the Waterpolo Premier and National Youth Leagues between 2016 and 2021, finishing runner-up in 2018–19 with Azad University. He represented Iran at the 2019 FINA World Junior Championship in Kuwait, and took bronze at the 2018 Asian Youth Championship in Tashkent as the tournament's top scorer. In Melbourne he plays the Australian Water Polo League with Victoria Phoenix and was the Victorian State League's leading goal scorer in 2023 and 2024, with 57 goals across the 2023/24 season as Richmond reached the State League 1 Grand Final.

That depth is rare in a swim instructor. It means the technical model is real, the feedback is specific, and the corrections hold.

Questions operators ask

Amir holds professional coaching insurance and operates under current AUSTSWIM, Working With Children, CPR and First Aid certification at all times. Certificates are provided directly to your compliance file before a program starts.

No. Sessions are scheduled around your facility's existing timetable. One-on-one coaching means no group-class disruption and no added noise or traffic to manage.

Opt-in only. It's offered as a resident or member amenity: people book directly, and there's no fixed quota the facility needs to fill.

There's no fixed rate card. A short scoping call establishes whether a venue fee, resident-paid sessions, or a hybrid model suits your facility, confirmed in writing before anything starts.

Exclusivity is agreed per facility during setup, not assumed either way. Raise it in the initial conversation and it's addressed directly, before a pilot begins.

Sessions are delivered personally by Amir. If something arises, your facility contact is notified directly and the session is rescheduled, never covered by an unvetted casual sub. Any coach added as a partnership scales is held to the same certification and vetting standard.

Yes. Every credential above is provided in full before a program begins, not just on request afterward. If your body corporate needs a specific format for its compliance file, just ask.

Good to Know
Yes. Reschedule moves that one session to a different time this week, after a quick back-and-forth with Amir. Your standing weekly booking is completely unaffected.
Cancel skips just that one session. Your regular weekly availability keeps going automatically. There's nothing to resubmit.
⏱️Is there a cut-off for free changes?▾
Changes are free of charge when made at least 36 hours before your session. Inside that window, the session is non-refundable, so lock in your times early.
You'll get a text with proposed times once Amir reviews your availability, then an SMS reminder before every confirmed session. No app to download.
Amir, personally. No automated approvals, no call centre. Every submission gets a real read within 24 hours.
Anytime, for future weeks. Just note it in your next availability submission or message Amir directly from your dashboard.
🤝
Your session is one-on-one with Amir, or shared only with the partner, siblings, family, or friends you bring yourself. Never a group of strangers, never a franchise instructor, never a substitute coach.

Privacy Policy

Last updated 21 August 2026

Stroke Lab Swimming Academy (ABN 98 203 597 005, "Stroke Lab", "we", "us", "our") provides private one-on-one and small-group swim coaching in Melbourne. This policy explains what personal information we collect through strokelab.com.au and our booking/coaching platform, why we collect it, how we use and share it, and how you can contact us about it. Our client base includes children, and where a booking is for a child, the child's parent or guardian is our client and is responsible for the account.

1. The personal information we collect

Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:

  • Account details: full name, email address, phone number, and home address, collected when you create an account to book sessions.
  • Booking and scheduling information: swim level, program interest, preferred lesson type and location (pool or home visit), day/time availability windows, sessions per week, and any notes you add when requesting a booking or a reschedule.
  • Enquiry and contact form information: name, phone, email, and the content of any message you send us, including anything you choose to tell us about injuries or physical considerations relevant to coaching.
  • In-app messages and files: messages exchanged with your coach through the student dashboard, and any images or files you choose to upload there.
  • Payment information: we use Stripe to process card payments. We never see or store your full card number; we store only a Stripe-issued payment token and customer reference (used to display "card ending in ••••" and to process the sessions you've booked), plus a record of amounts charged and refunded.
  • Account credentials: your password is stored in hashed form by our authentication provider (Supabase) and is never visible to us.
  • Communications record: a log of the confirmations, proposals, reminders, and other messages sent to and received from you by SMS, email, and in-app chat.

We don't ask for or require sensitive information like health details, but if you choose to include something in a free-text note (for example, an injury we should know about for a session), we'll only use it to deliver your coaching safely and won't share it beyond what's described in this policy.

2. Information about children

Stroke Lab coaches junior swimmers, but our platform does not create a separate account for a child. Instead, a parent or guardian creates and controls the account, and any information relating to the child (name used for bookings, swim level, notes) is provided by, and treated as belonging to, that parent or guardian. We rely on parents and guardians to provide accurate information and to only give us information about a child that they are authorised to share. If you believe a child has provided us with information without a parent or guardian's involvement, please contact us using the details below and we will address it.

3. How we collect your information

We collect personal information directly from you: when you create an account, submit a booking or reschedule request, fill in the contact or enquiry form on our site, message us in-app, call or text us, or set up a payment method. We don't collect personal information about you from third parties except where a payment processor or communications provider returns information back to us in the course of providing their service (for example, Stripe confirming a payment, or Twilio confirming an SMS reply).

4. How we use your information

  • To create and administer your account and deliver the coaching sessions you book.
  • To schedule, confirm, reschedule, and cancel sessions, including negotiating times between you and your coach.
  • To process payments and refunds for sessions, and to bill late cancellations in line with our Terms & Conditions.
  • To send you booking confirmations, reschedule proposals, session reminders, and cancellation or no-show notices.
  • To respond to enquiries, contact form submissions, and in-app messages.
  • To keep an operational backup of the session schedule so classes can still run if our website or database is temporarily unavailable.
  • To use AI-assisted tools internally to help our coach suggest scheduling options based on submitted availability. This uses booking-related data only, not health information.
  • To meet our legal, accounting, and tax obligations.

5. SMS, email and phone communications

By providing your phone number and email address when you book with us, you agree that we may contact you by SMS text message, email, and phone about your bookings. This includes booking and reschedule confirmations, proposed times and counter-offers during scheduling, reminders sent ahead of a session, cancellation and no-show notices, and replies to messages you send us. These are operational, service-related messages tied to sessions you've booked or enquired about, not unsolicited marketing, and are necessary for us to run the service, so we can't offer an opt-out from them while you have an active account or booking.

If we ever send marketing or promotional messages (for example, about new programs), we'll only do so with your consent and every message will include a clear way to opt out, in line with the Spam Act 2003 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles. You can update your contact preferences, or ask us to stop non-essential contact, at any time by emailing us.

SMS messages are sent through Twilio and emails through Resend, both described further below.

6. Cookies and local storage

We don't use tracking or advertising cookies, and we don't run analytics scripts like Google Analytics or Meta Pixel. Our site does use your browser's local storage to keep you signed in between visits (via our authentication provider, Supabase) and to temporarily hold form details during the sign-up process (for example, if you sign up with Google, so we don't lose the phone number and address you already entered). This information stays on your device and is used only to make the site work.

7. Who we share your information with

We don't sell your personal information. We share it only with the service providers we rely on to run Stroke Lab, and only to the extent needed for them to provide their service to us:

  • Supabase: hosts our database, authentication, file storage, and real-time messaging.
  • Stripe: processes payments and stores your card details on our behalf; we only receive a payment token and status back.
  • Twilio: delivers our SMS messages and carries your replies back to us.
  • Resend: delivers our transactional emails.
  • Google (Google Sheets): we mirror core booking details (name, email, phone, session time and location) to a private Google Sheet as an operational backup, so sessions can still be run if our main system is down.
  • Anthropic (Claude API): used internally to help suggest scheduling options from submitted availability windows.
  • Cloudflare: hosts our website and backend.

We may also disclose personal information if required by law, to enforce our Terms & Conditions, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Stroke Lab, our clients, or others.

8. Overseas disclosure

Several of the providers listed above (including Stripe, Twilio, Resend, Google, Cloudflare, and Anthropic) operate infrastructure outside Australia, including in the United States, so your personal information may be stored or processed overseas as part of us using these services. We choose providers with strong security and privacy practices, but we can't guarantee that overseas recipients will handle your information in exactly the same way Australian law would require.

9. Data security

We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information, including using access-controlled databases with row-level security so a client can generally only see their own data, encrypting data in transit (HTTPS), storing passwords in hashed form, and never storing full card numbers ourselves. No online system is completely secure, but we work to keep our systems and providers up to date and to limit who can access your information.

10. How long we keep your information

We keep your account and booking information for as long as your account is active, and for a reasonable period afterwards in case you return or we need it for record-keeping. Financial records (such as payment and invoicing history) are kept for at least seven years, as required by Australian tax law. If you ask us to close your account and delete your information, we'll do so within a reasonable time, except where we're required or permitted by law to keep certain records (for example, financial records, or the minimum needed to resolve a dispute).

11. Accessing, correcting or deleting your information

You can review and update most of your account details (name, phone, address) directly from your dashboard. For anything else, including requesting a copy of the information we hold about you, correcting it, deleting your account, or asking us to stop contacting you, email us at amir@strokelab.com.au and we'll respond within a reasonable time, generally within 30 days.

12. Complaints

If you're unhappy with how we've handled your personal information, please contact us first at amir@strokelab.com.au so we can try to resolve it directly. If you're not satisfied with our response, you can lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at oaic.gov.au.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time as our services or obligations change. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent version. Continuing to use our services after an update means you accept the revised policy.

Terms & Conditions

Last updated 21 August 2026

These Terms & Conditions govern your use of the Stroke Lab Swimming Academy website and booking platform (ABN 98 203 597 005, "Stroke Lab", "we", "us", "our") and the coaching services we provide. By creating an account, booking a session, or using our site, you agree to these terms. Where a booking is for a child, "you" means the parent or guardian who holds the account and is responsible for it on the child's behalf.

1. Who can use Stroke Lab

You must be 18 or over to create an account. If the swimmer is under 18, their parent or guardian must create and manage the account, be responsible for the accuracy of the information provided, and remain the point of contact for all bookings, payments, and communications relating to that swimmer.

2. Your account

You're responsible for keeping your login details secure and for all activity on your account. Please keep your contact details (phone, email, address) up to date, as we rely on them to schedule sessions and reach you about your bookings. Let us know straight away at amir@strokelab.com.au if you think your account has been accessed without your permission.

3. Our services

Stroke Lab provides private one-on-one and small-group swim coaching for adults, junior swimmers, and performance athletes, including water polo coaching, delivered at pool venues and via home visits within approximately 20km of Melbourne CBD. Program availability, coach availability, and locations may vary and are not guaranteed for any given time slot until a session is confirmed.

4. Bookings and scheduling

To book, you submit your availability (days and time windows), and your coach proposes a specific session time or, where needed, counters with alternative windows. A session is only confirmed once you and your coach agree on a specific date and time through the platform. The same back-and-forth process applies to reschedule requests: a rescheduled time is only locked in once both sides accept it.

5. Fees and payment

  • Session fees are calculated from your agreed weekly rate divided by your sessions per week, in Australian dollars (AUD).
  • Card payments are processed securely by Stripe. We store a payment token and a reference to your saved card (for example, to show "card ending in ••••") so we can charge future sessions. We do not store your full card number.
  • You authorise us to charge your saved card for sessions you book, and for late-cancellation or no-show fees as described below.
  • If a charge fails or you have no payment method on file, we may follow up directly to arrange payment before continuing to book further sessions.

6. Cancellations, rescheduling and late fees

  • 36 hours' notice or more: you can cancel or reschedule a session free of charge. If you'd already paid for that session, it will be refunded.
  • Less than 36 hours' notice, or a no-show: the full session fee applies. If the session hasn't already been paid, it will be charged to your card on file; if there's no valid card on file, we'll invoice you directly.
  • We may, at our discretion, waive a late fee in genuinely exceptional circumstances (for example, illness or an emergency). Contact us as soon as you can if this applies to you.

7. Communications you consent to receive

By booking with us, you agree that we'll contact you by SMS, email, and phone about your bookings, including confirmations, proposed and counter-proposed times, reminders ahead of a session, and cancellation or no-show notices. These are operational messages needed to deliver the service and can't be switched off while you have an active account. Full detail on how we use your contact information is in our Privacy Policy.

8. Health, safety and participant responsibility

Swimming and water polo involve inherent physical risk. By booking a session, you confirm that the participant is medically fit to take part, and you agree to tell us about any injury, medical condition, or physical limitation that could affect the participant's safety during coaching, before the session where practical. Our coach follows Australian coaching, supervision, and safety standards and holds current AUSTSWIM, Working with Children, CPR, and First Aid credentials, but coaching guidance and instruction are provided on the basis that you and/or the participant remain responsible for following venue rules and the coach's safety instructions at all times.

9. Facility and conduct rules

Sessions at pool venues are subject to that venue's own rules and conditions of entry, which you agree to follow. We may decline to continue coaching a participant, or end a session early, if behaviour by the participant or an accompanying adult puts anyone's safety at risk or is abusive towards our coach or venue staff.

10. Changes or cancellations by us

Occasionally we may need to reschedule or cancel a session on our end (for example, coach illness or venue closure). Where we do, we'll give you as much notice as possible, no late fee will apply, and any amount already paid for that session will be refunded or credited toward a replacement session, at your choice.

11. Liability and insurance

We hold professional coaching insurance and take reasonable care in delivering our services. To the extent permitted by law, Stroke Lab is not liable for loss, injury, or damage arising from participation in coaching sessions except to the extent it's caused by our negligence. Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any consumer guarantee, right, or remedy you have under the Australian Consumer Law or any other law that cannot lawfully be excluded.

12. Website content and intellectual property

The Stroke Lab name, logo, and the content on this website (text, images, and video) belong to us or are used with permission, and may not be copied or reused without our consent.

13. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect and how we use it, and forms part of these terms.

14. Ending the relationship

You can stop booking sessions and ask us to close your account at any time by emailing amir@strokelab.com.au. We may suspend or close an account if these terms are breached, including repeated late cancellations or non-payment, or if it's needed to keep our clients or coach safe.

15. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia, and you submit to the jurisdiction of its courts.

16. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time; the "last updated" date above reflects the current version. Continuing to use our services after an update means you accept the revised terms.
