employed by the Singapore Swimming Association as National Assistant Coach of the National Team of Singapore in 2012

During my tenure as the National Assistant Coach of the National Team of Singapore from 2012 till 2018, the Singapore team achieved the following:
• 2015 - Gold and Silver medals at the SEA GAMES (Singapore)
• 2017 - Gold, Silver and Bronze medals at the SEA GAMES (Malaysia)
• 2018 – National Synchronised Swimming Team of Singapore made their debut at the Asian Games (Jakarta, Palembang), 7th place in Duet and Team events
When I worked as an a National Assistant Coach of the National Team of Singapore, I observed that many of athletes were from the Speediswim Club. At present, the Speediswim Club is one of the leading clubs in Singapore, whose goal is to prepare athletes for the national team. One factor that attracted me to join Speedi is that the founder is really inspiring and supportive of the development of Artistic swimming in Singapore.
I am proud of my contributing in creating champions in the Speedi Club. Many medalists and winners of the Singapore Open Artistic Swimming Championships, as well as international competitions were trained in the Speedi Club. This is truly a club of champions!
I really love what I do. I train the girls 5 times a week. I understand perfectly how hard it is for them to juggle sports and study. I recognise that every swimmer is different and I try to keep that individuality in every swimmer by focusing on their strengths.
My students said that I am so funny. I make sure they have a wonderful experience. My advice to people is to do more of what you love.
Here is the secret to become a champion. The making of a Champion is not in the gym or at the pool; it is the Desires, Dreams, and Goals that hold the primary key to success.
Do you enjoy music and like to dance? Then, you will like Artistic Swimming. Artistic Swimming is a mix of Swimming, Dancing, and Gymnastics. Artistic Swimming necessitates specialized aquatic skills and tremendous stamina, agility, flexibility, grace, artistry, and precise timing.
