I do not just teach swimming. I live for it. Every lesson I give comes from my own experience racing on the world stage and learning what true grit really means. 🏊‍♂️🇮🇳

A proud memory from my own swimming career. Being named the Best Outgoing Sportsman as an International Swimmer in 2017.

This poster shows my achievement of placing 8th in the World Life Saving Championship in the Netherlands. I use my international competition experience to guide my students.

Here I am during a radio interview, sharing my story and my passion for swimming. I want to spread the love for this sport across the country.

About My Journey: International Swimmer to National Coach

When I stand on the pool deck with you, I am not just watching your stroke. I am remembering the exact focus and strategy I used when racing at the World Life Saving Championship. I teach the technique that actually wins races because I have used it to compete on the global stage myself.
