Teaching Experience
1) Trained three of my own children. I build their physical foundation where they excel in
sports. Two of them has don the national colours and swam in the international waters. 
All of my children has done their school proud and has colours award for representing their school. Now, all of them are working personnel's, their sporting achievements did not just 
end. Amidst their busy schedule, they managed to represent their individual companies for 
intra-meets and many other sporting activities in Singapore. They too manage to find time to
motivate their juniors (my current students) not only to excel in sports or making swimming as their main focus of sports excellence, but encourage their juniors to stay focus and excel in their studies. 
2) I have trained and build the foundation of swimming, of students of neighbourhood schools so that they are able to represent their schools in the national meets. All of them has shown great results after attending my swimming sessions. 
3) I encourage many of my swimmers to attend my lessons and learn to swim, it is not only for 
good health however also to create awareness of water safety. Many of my swimmers even
the beginners have build their courage and participate many biathlons, triathlons and swimming meets held locally. They may not win anything, but they have won their courage to participate in such events, build their knowledge on water safety, being focused in reaching their goals and sportsmanship spirits.
