My Coach

All coaches would have gone through, possibly, what their student are experiencing now.
The laps, the pajamas, floats, timings, etc etc etc....

Now that I have started coaching, this job really isnt as easy as what many people believed.
And it sure isnt an easy job too!
Imagine hours under the sun, the freezing wind.
Students who learn slower, dont like swimming, parents, fees, etc etc etc...
all these are part and parcel of what we face everyday.

but at the end of the day, to see that the student is swimming fine, enjoying themselves, all the hard work is definitely worth it!

For that I have my coach to thank!
plus all the good qualities of a coach which i rubbed off him~ :p

Day 1

Day 1 took place a long while ago...
a little more than 1 year ago.

i've had my good days and bad.
i have been itching to start a blog on my days at the pools.
i have been itching to share the joys and woes.
i have the dream to unite coaches here,
to share stories, tips, etc etc etc etc.....

i have freezed my butt at the pool, shivered in the wind.
i have very dry skin, very dry hair, freckles.
but these are insignificant to the joy at the pool.

I am a coach in sunny Singapore.
I am 22 when i started coaching.
I have coached 5 to 55 years old kids so far and im proud of them!
Im going to share my learning journey with you (^.^)
