Frequently Asked Questions

Laura works as a Registered Nurse alongside her coaching, and shift work means her coaching availability is limited and varies week to week. The time slots shown are the only ones she's able to offer — so we'd recommend booking as early as possible to lock in a spot that works for you.
-
You'll receive a follow-up email within one week of your session, including a link to CoachNow — the software Laura uses to break down and assess your stroke.

If you're just starting out or new to swimming, a private lesson is a great place to start.
If you already have a clear goal and want data-backed direction on exactly what to work on, I’d recommend one of the analysis sessions. If you have stagnated in your swimming over a long period, I would also recommend the Analysis Session.

My private sessions cater to you. Whether you’re new to the water or have a clear goal, I design the session for you.

Laura Quilter
Laura is a lifelong swimmer and coach from New Zealand who knows firsthand what it takes to build strength, mobility, and power — and she’s passionate about helping you do the same.
Laura has proved that age is no barrier. At 32, she returned to competitive swimming after 8 years, and swam faster than ever before. Using experience and curiosity, Laura’s self-coached her way back onto the national team where she competed for New Zealand at the 2025 World Aquatics Championships. She swam in the 50m Freestyle and 50m Butterfly finishing 22nd and 29th respectively.
Aura Move was created to help swimmers of all levels build strength, speed, and confidence in the water. Whether you’re a competitive swimmer, triathlete, Masters athlete, or simply love swimming — we’re here to help you move with purpose.
"My vision is to empower people to become faster, more confident swimmers for life. Swimming is highly technical and I enjoy helping people improve their technique. I am a strong believer that it is never too late to swim better.”
