Level 2 certificate swimming coach

I have been a very successful swimming coach for 7 years, having taken 11-year olds to nationals and medaling, with 5 being placed on the Uganda national swim team, competing in the East African Trials.

Goal setting in swimming is a tad more clear-cut than goal setting as a coach. As much as swimmers jump to the conclusion that your coaches value you for your fast swimming, that’s just not why coaches get into the profession. I love to witness a human grow into a better person because of the lessons imparted through swimming. Yes, absolutely, it’s fun to watch a swimmer achieve a long-awaited and hard-fought goal, but even more satisfying is the deep message felt in that moment—that a massive commitment has a massive payoff and nothing feels as satisfying as a victory, not handed, but earned.

Swimming keeps your heart rate up but takes some of the impact stress off your body. It builds endurance, muscle strength, and cardiovascular fitness. It helps you maintain a healthy weight and a healthy heart and lungs, tones muscles and builds strength.

I am very ambitious!

It’s important for everyone to know water survival skills as well as how to swim. While swimming lessons can’t eliminate the risk of drowning completely, they can keep you safer around water and help to prevent tragic water accidents.

African dishes but mostly maize and beans do me well.

Swimming is a good all-round activity because it keeps your heart rate up but takes some of the impact stress off your body. It builds endurance, muscle strength, and cardiovascular fitness. It helps you maintain a healthy weight and a healthy heart and lungs.

I work so hard and tirelessly to achieve my goals.
