About Us

Sue Pryor:

Sue Pryor Swimming evolved from my love of sport, my qualifications as a PE teacher, and my need to be home for my husband David, and our 3 daughters then aged 14, 12 and 11. David has retired from his profession as a Chemistry teacher, and the girls are now well into their 20's and settling down with their respective partners/husbands. Tanya is the eldest, and she and her husband are both geologists in Newman, WA. Kelly married a Kiwi whom she met while working in Banff, and is an early childhood teacher at Lake Hawea (near Wanaka) in the South Island of New Zealand. Lee is a speech pathologist in the ICU at the Royal Adelaide Hospital. Since our girls are spread out over the world, and David and I wish to semi-retire, we plan to be away at various stages doing the Grey Nomad thing.

In my spare time I am an A-grade netball umpire, Division 1 tennis player for John Wesley, competitive swimmer and Official for the Strathalbyn Lightning Swimming Club. I am also keen on bike riding, walking (tramping in New Zealand), gardening, travelling and sleeping, and wish to do more of these in the future. I also love teaching anyone who wishes to learn, whether it be swimming or any other of my interests and I love to still learn (what better way than by travelling and attending conferences!)
