Police have laid an additional charge against a former Sydney swim instructor who is accused of sexually abusing several young students. Kyle James Henk Daniels was hit with a 36th charge on Thursday over the alleged indecent assault of a seven-year-old girl between February and June 2018. The 20-year-old is on strict conditional bail and is due back in Manly Local Court on May 8.

A young Sydney swimming coach accused of sexually assaulting 10 young girls previously worked as an instructor at an exclusive all-girls school.

Court documents show 20-year-old Kyle Daniels was employed at Sydney’s Ravenswood School for Girls before becoming a swim coach at at Mosman Swim Centre.

A 10th alleged child victim has come forward accusing a former swim instructor — who is facing a total of 36 charges — of sexual abuse.

Police will allege the seven-year-old girl was abused by Kyle Daniels, from Balgowlah on Sydney’s northern beaches, between February 2018 and June 2018 while he worked as an instructor at Mosman Swim Centre.

The former Knox Grammar prefect is now alleged to have sexually abused 10 female students at the pool where he worked.

However, his lawyer said his client denied the allegations.

The charges against Daniels, who is studying for a masters in sports science at the University of Sydney, include sexual intercourse with a child under 10, intentionally sexually touch a child under 10 and the indecent assault of a person under 16.

Court documents submitted by NSW Police claim Daniels’ alleged offences began in January 2018 with the indecent assault of a 10-year-old girl.

They also show allegations that Daniels had sexual intercourse with a seven-year-old girl eight times in just three weeks.

Police allege Daniels committed sexual offences on swim students up until 10 days before he was arrested.

Last month, a Mosman Swim Centre internal memo emerged, dated August 14, that stated “unorthodox hands-on” instruction techniques in the pool had been “observed” in “recent weeks”.

The document, which was submitted as part of court proceedings and seen by news.com.au, then outlines three key rules for three instructors.

“As instructors, it is extremely important that we are aware and using the correct technique to hold and interact with children,” the memo reads.

“1. DO NOT hold children close to the groin and/or chest area.”

It goes on to say instructors should always have their hands above water and in an “appropriate” position on their bodies and adds instructors should not position themselves behind the children at any time.

“2. CUDDLING. While it is acknowledged that crying children sometimes need a cuddle, unnecessary cuddling can be concerning to some parents. Use your discretion.

“3. Being overly playful and unnecessarily hands-on. We are teachers and there to instruct.”

Defence lawyer, Todd Alexis, told the court his client’s touching of the children was “unlikely to have been sexual in nature” when “viewed objectively”.

One six-year-old girl said the instructor touched her while they were in the pool.

Mr Alexis said Daniels was simply helping the girl learn backstroke using a paddleboard.

“The applicant (Daniels) allegedly said ‘put your tummy up’ as he pushed her off,” Mr Alexis told the court.

He said it was likely what the alleged victim felt was her swimming costume becoming wedged between her legs during the backstroke motion.

Daniels is on strict conditional bail and due to reappear at Manly Local Court on May 8.

NSW Police says investigations are continuing.
