Debbie Teahan is a swimming coach in Perth, Australia. So with two backpacks and two kids we headed for a city we’d never been to. I work for the Australian department of education teaching swimming to primary-school children. Some children come in wearing their underwear, as they’ve never seen a swim suit let alone owned one. Being part of the Irish community here is important to us as we learned from living in Sydney for four years that no one quiet gets the Irish like the Irish.
