Meet Coach Samuel

Profile

* Born and raised in a riverine area, I developed a natural confidence in water from an early age. Swimming quickly grew from a survival skill into a lifelong passion and an essential part of who I am.

Over the years, I’ve trained and coached children, adults, and learners of varying abilities—helping them overcome fear, build confidence, and embrace swimming as a life skill.

Alongside coaching, I work professionally as a UI/UX Designer. This experience shapes the way I teach—because, just like design, swimming thrives on visualization, observation, and step-by-step practice. The result is lessons that are simple, structured, and highly effective, especially for children who learn best through watching and modeling.*

Coaching style

I believe everyone can learn to swim, even if it takes time. My lessons are flexible and tailored to each swimmer’s needs. I focus first on building comfort and familiarity with the water, then guide swimmers toward strength, agility, and stamina. Patience and clarity are at the heart of my teaching. I enjoy walking alongside each swimmer’s journey, ensuring every lesson is useful, confidence-building, and enjoyable.
