Meet Coach Ife

Profile

* I began swimming in my early university years, where I discovered a lifelong passion for the sport and for personal growth. The resilience, freedom, and discipline it provided have positively shaped my character—though I often wish I had started even earlier.

Over the years, I trained extensively, competed in both national and international events, and proudly represented the University of Ibadan at the Bilateral Games with the University of Ghana in 2016, the West African University Games (WAUG) in 2018, and several other championships.

During my time at university, I captained the swimming team, an experience that sharpened my leadership, teamwork, and perseverance. Now, as a Veterinary Medical Doctor, I apply the same analytical mindset and attention to detail in coaching, guiding swimmers to reach their full potential.*

Coaching style

* Every swimmer is unique, just like every case in medical practice. I focus on identifying strengths, correcting weaknesses, and tailoring training to individual goals. My philosophy is that success comes step by step, by mastering the basics first, we build a strong foundation for lasting improvement.*
