WHY I TEACH
I firmly believe in the importance of swimming as a life skill for everyone. As a passionate instructor and a mother, I advocate for early childhood swimming lessons to instil safety and confidence in the water. With a welcoming and patient approach, I cater to swimmers of all ages and skill levels, fostering a supportive environment where learning is enjoyable.
My goal is to enpower students to progress at their own unique pace and experience the satisfaction of mastering new skills, all while ensuring that swimming lessons are comfortable and fun for all participants. Whether you are a beginner, or just looking to learn a new stroke and improve your stroke proficiency, I hope to share my knowledge in this area and help develop your swim progression.
I conduct private swimming lessons for children age 4 and above as well as ladies from the comfort of your own condominium or private residence pool.
WHO AM I
I'm a proud Mom to a lovely teen and a feisty ginger cat. I juggle my time between teaching swimming, conducting real estate work and enjoying life's simple pleasures. When not in the pool or closing deals, you'll find me soaking up nature on walks, cycling and basking at the beach. I unwind with Netflix & indulge my culinary skills. Enthusiastic about exploration, I thrive on travel, scuba diving and spontaneous road trips.

My Story
My journey with water began in childhood, learning to swim under my father's patient guidance alongside my older brother. While my brother took to it naturally, I struggled with fear of putting my face in the water, often clinging to the safety of floating on my back. Overcoming my apprehensions and driven by determination to keep pace with my sibling, I developed my own unconventional swimming style, swimming on my back looking up in the sky.
Despite having learnt to tread water quite well, it was a harrowing brush with a strong undertow in Desaru that truly underscored the importance of water safety, prompting a period of avoidance and fear. Thankfully, with time, I found the courage to confront my fears, diving back into the pool and gradually rebuilding my confidence.
In my first year of tertiary education, I seized the opportunity to join the Swim Team Orientation Camp, where skilled coaching and dedicated practice transformed me into a stronger swimmer. Empowered by newfound confidence, I ventured into competitive swimming, participating in inter-varsity meets and even attempting biathlons.
As adulthood beckoned, my love affair with water only deepened, leading me to explore diverse aquatic pursuits such as kayaking, wakeboarding, and snorkeling. Today, as a certified PADI advanced open water scuba diver, my journey with water continues to be one of discovery, adventure, and lifelong passion.
