Summary
I am a 18 year old High School student who was once a South African leveled swimmer. I have almost completed my SDIT level 1 in swimming coaching. Whilst participating in various hours of coaching with different swim schools,I have been praised on my ability to engage with the children and to perform a successful lesson. I am looking to become a full time swimming coach whether it be learn to swim or squad. I believe with my swimming experience and knowledge I will add value to your team.
