Introduction

𝐇𝐢 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐦 𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞! I'm so happy you stopped by. I teach swimmers of all ages and levels — from little beginners taking their first splash to advanced swimmers fine-tuning their strokes. I bring over 𝟐𝟓+ 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 to every lesson, and I’m a former 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐰𝐢𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐀𝐬𝐢𝐚 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝟖𝟎𝐬. Swimming has been a lifelong journey for me, and now it's my passion to pass it on. 𝐈 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐥 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐨𝐨𝐥, 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐭'𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐲𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐩𝐨𝐨𝐥 (𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐨, 𝐭𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 — 𝐚𝐬 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐬 𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞). If your pool is cozy around 𝟖𝟎+°𝐅, 𝐚 𝟑𝟎–𝟒𝟓 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 works great for beginners and intermediate swimmers. I’ll be right there in the water with you, using hands-on teaching methods and personalized stroke analysis. For more advanced swimmers, some coaching from the deck is added for the best results. If you choose “𝐈’𝐦 𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞” for pool access, that tells me you have access to a pool that allows lessons or you’re willing to travel to a location we suggest (typically 𝐒𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐚 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐚). Just a heads-up: 𝐩𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜 𝐩𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐠𝐲𝐦𝐬 𝐮𝐬𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬 — but for adults, we have a few places that do welcome us! Swimming is more than a skill — it’s a lifelong gift. Your challenges are my challenges, and your victories are mine too. 🏆 I’ll be right beside you every step of the way until you reach your goals. Let’s make this warm 2025 season full of success and milestones in the water! Feel free to 𝐭𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐨𝐫 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐦𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 to chat about your needs, schedule, and next steps. -Jung

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

My approach is structured to ensure safety, comfort, and progressive learning: Initial Assessment: The first step involves understanding the student's current swimming ability, comfort level in the water, and any specific goals they have. This is usually done through a brief conversation and a basic water comfort test. Personalized Lesson Plan: Based on the initial assessment, I create a tailored lesson plan that aligns with the student's skill level and objectives. This plan outlines the skills to be learned, techniques to be developed, and the progression of difficulty over time. Safety Briefing and Introduction: Before starting the lessons, I provide a safety briefing, discussing pool rules, emergency procedures, and basic water safety. This ensures that the student feels secure and informed. Skill Development and Instruction: Lessons are focused on gradually building skills, from basic water confidence exercises to more advanced swimming techniques, depending on the student’s progress. Emphasis is placed on correct form, breathing techniques, and building endurance. Regular Feedback and Adaptation: After each lesson, I offer feedback to the student and discuss areas for improvement. The lesson plan is adapted as needed to address any challenges and to keep the student motivated and progressing. Progress Evaluation: Periodically, I assess the student's progress against their goals. This helps in recognizing achievements and adjusting future lessons to focus on new skills or areas needing more attention.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

Swimming national team member in Southeast Asia during the late 1980s. Director of Aquatics/Head Lifeguard/Swimming Instructor, 25 years experience with swimming schools, teaching all age groups.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

My journey into swimming instruction began at the young age of 15, fueled by the exceptional guidance and unwavering support of outstanding coaches. Their profound influence not only ignited my love for the sport but also kindled my desire to teach. Over the years, I've discovered a natural affinity for being in the water, almost as if it's my second home. This path has been deeply rewarding, shaped by a combination of inspiration from my mentors and my own intrinsic passion for swimming.

What types of customers have you worked with?

In my career as a swimming instructor, I've had the opportunity to teach a diverse group of learners. My students have ranged across all age groups, from young children just starting to learn water safety and basic swimming skills, to teenagers working on advanced techniques, and adults seeking to improve their swimming for fitness or leisure. I've also worked with seniors who are learning to swim for the first time or returning to swimming as a form of low-impact exercise. This variety has enabled me to develop a flexible teaching style and adapt my approach to suit the unique needs and learning speeds of each individual, regardless of their age or prior experience with swimming.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

I am on a mission, humbly dedicating myself to reaching out to those with a passion and need for swimming. No matter the length or difficulty of the journey, I am committed to traveling and teaching swimming wherever and whenever I am needed.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Selecting the right instructor is crucial for a rewarding learning experience. Here are a few tips to guide you: Check Qualifications: Ensure the instructor is certified, with relevant qualifications for swimming instruction. This guarantees both safety and quality. Experience Matters: Look for someone with experience teaching students at your level. Experienced instructors can better tailor lessons to individual needs. Teaching Approach: Find out about the instructor’s teaching style to ensure it aligns with your learning preferences. A good instructor adapts their methods to suit different learners. Safety First: Inquire about their safety protocols and emergency procedures, especially important for beginners or young swimmers. Seek Recommendations: Reviews or references from previous students can provide valuable insights into the instructor’s effectiveness and reliability. Personal Rapport: A comfortable relationship with your instructor can greatly enhance your learning. Consider a preliminary meeting to assess compatibility. Availability and Location: Make sure their schedule and lesson location are convenient for you.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

Before discussing your needs with a professional instructor, it's beneficial to consider a few key points: What are Your Swimming Goals? Identify whether you're looking for basic water safety skills, stroke improvement, or advanced techniques. This helps in tailoring the lessons to your objectives. What is Your Experience Level? Assess your current swimming ability, as this will guide the instructor in creating an appropriate lesson plan. Do You Have Any Specific Learning Preferences? Think about how you learn best – whether through visual demonstration, verbal instruction, or hands-on practice. This helps in finding an instructor whose teaching style matches your needs. What is Your Budget? Have a clear idea of your budget for swimming lessons, as this will guide the conversation regarding lesson frequency and duration. What is Your Availability? Consider your schedule and determine the best times for your lessons. This ensures that the lessons can be conveniently integrated into your routine.
