## About Competitive Swim Coaching

### Why I Coach

Swimming is my passion, and I coach because I believe in helping swimmers find their best. For me, it's not about fighting the water - it's about feeling at ease and letting the water do half the job if you know how. I push for consistency, and honestly, doing it every day is the tough part. Sometimes, you'll feel lost or stuck, but I keep reminding my swimmers, "Never give up."

### Who Should Join

If you're serious about competing - whether you're a young swimmer prepping for age-group events, a triathlete, or just someone ready to leave casual swimming behind - this is for you. It's for those who want more than just laps, who want to see how far they can go.

### What We Work On

Technique is at the heart of everything. We zero in on all four strokes, but advanced freestyle technique gets extra attention. Some days we focus on high elbow catch, other days it's bilateral breathing or that all-important core work. Streamlining off the wall is a big deal, and I teach you how to move with the water, not fight it.

Race starts and flip turns? That's a whole section of our training, because in Mumbai swim competitions, those first and last few meters can make all the difference.

### Mindset & Team

Discipline and heart matter more than just raw talent. You'll hear me say, "Under pressure, you sink to the level of your training." Sometimes, beech mein thoda samundar ka paani peena padega (you might have to drink a little sea water in between), but maza aayega (it will be fun). We train as a team - iron sharpens iron. We push each other and celebrate together.

### Results

Our swimmers consistently hit the podium at big meets around Mumbai. It's not just training - it's training to win.

[Ujwal Poojari](https://mytribe.in/ujwalthecoach)

### My story

Hey, I’m Ujwal. Been coaching for 18 years now, and I still get a kick out of seeing someone conquer the deep end for the first time. I’m big on effort and heart—more than just talent. RLSS India and AUSTSWIM certified, but what matters most to me? Seeing my Ocean Rangers team push limits, win medals, or just swim in the sea with a big grin. That’s what it’s all about.

### My work

- **Swim coaching for all ages**: From infants to adults, I teach everything—learn-to-swim, competitive strokes, and yes, sea swimming lessons too.
- **My way of coaching**: It’s not about fighting water. It’s about feeling it, trusting it, and moving easy. Happy swimmers learn best.
- **Build water confidence**: Most folks start with fear of water. We go slow. Breathe, let go, and step by step, you get there.
- **Mobility and technique**: Beyond basics, we do swimming mobility training, flexibility, and video analysis for fine-tuning strokes.
- **Open water and sea swimming**: Want to swim in the sea? I’ll teach you how to tackle waves, stay safe, and go that extra distance—Aage tak jao thoda.
