About Me:
I have been teaching since 1981. Having working with children and adults(from 3 to 62 years old) for more than 30 years, I have taught more than 10,000 over students. Some of them even move on to be competitive swimmers, lifeguards and swimming instructors. Currently, some of my students belongs to my past students. That makes me want to set up ABLE Aquatic School to carry on with my legacy. It is rewarding to teach a child swimming and survival skills and watch them increasingly able to take care of themselves. To witness my students achieve their objectives, become safe in the water, and take joy in bringing out the drive and potential for my students to give their best. I believes in creating a safe, and at the same time fun environment for children to learn swimming.

About Me:
I found my passion for water sports at a young age and I have since taken up swimming and sailing at competitive level. Since then, I have represented school and Navy in the swimming meet and won numerous awards for different events. I started coaching swimming and sailing at a tender age of 17. It was a challenge at the beginning given the little experience I had then, but that did not put me down. Thus far, I have experience with teaching people of different ages, nationalities and abilities (including children with special needs). “I love watching the kids get excited any time they accomplish a goal and to see how much they love being at Able Aquatic School. I love how everything is new and exciting through every child’s eyes, they make me appreciate how great life is. I derive my job satisfaction from the progress that my students make.” I am glad that my liking for children enabled me to move this far. The sense of satisfaction I have when i see this students going home with a new skill and smiles on their face, I have never looked back since.
