About

Meet Amir,
your head coach

International water polo competitor. AUSTSWIM certified swim instructor. Melbourne-based coach who has worked with swimmers from age three to elite competition level.

Amir Moradi · Victorian Phoenix Water Polo League
Australian Water Polo League
Victoria Phoenix · 2023

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

Amir is a professionally qualified swimming instructor and water polo coach based in Melbourne, Australia. He has coached swimmers ranging from three-year-old beginners to adult professionals, and from club juniors to national league competitors.

His competitive career took him to the FINA World Junior Water Polo Championship and the Asian Youth Championship, where the Iranian national team won bronze and Amir finished as tournament top scorer. In Australia, he has competed in the Victorian State League as top scorer in 2023 and 2024, and represented Victoria at the national level with the Phoenix program.

That level of experience is not common in a swim instructor. It means the coaching is genuinely technical, the feedback is specific, and the corrections work.
