Diane Bainbridge
CEO/Owner
I love to swim! Every time I get into the pool for fitness or relaxation I thank my parents for giving me the lifelong gift of knowing how to swim well.
I am the proud mother of two sons that live in Australia. My eldest son, Cale, is working in the Aquatic Industry and my youngest son, Jay, is the singer/songwriter with his band, Nine Sons of Dan. They were both born in the water and continue to love swimming and surfing today. Outside of running the Australian Swim Schools, I love to spend my time hiking with my two Golden Retrievers, gardening, golfing, sewing, traveling and keeping up on fitness of the body and mind. My hidden talents are my motorcycle riding skills and my artistic flair when sculpting stone! My favorite vacation is house boating with my family on beautiful Lake Powell.

Katie Booker
Executive Assistant
I have worked at Australian Swim School for 9 months and there is NEVER a dull moment working for this place! I have 3 children and I would not hesitate to put them through the swim program here.
My favorite colors are anything bright, bold and funky. I think those colors match my personality, I'm definitely bold and funky...I'll leave the bright out of it!
Swimming has always been a part of my life. Summertime is my favorite time of the year because I love being out in the water! I would eventually like to take some culinary classes. My love is baking and decorating cakes and cupcakes! I love being creative!

Jason Marxer
Customer Service and Marketing Director
My name is Jason and I have been with Australian Swim School for 9 months now.
I am currently attending California State University of San Bernardino majoring in Music with an emphasis in composition and performance.
My long term goals consist of achieving a Doctorate in music to become a teacher on a collegiate level, have my own recording studio, learn Spanish, and to master the piano.
My hobbies are playing Xbox, studying music, electronics/computers, playing sports and socializing. A good friend will bail you out of jail, but a true friend will be sitting next to you saying, “Wow…that was awesome!” (I have NEVER been to jail lol)
My favorite colors vary between black, red, blue and white.
I absolutely love food! I am not picky and will try anything once!
My favorite animals are dogs!
