Meet The Team

Song (Asst Branch Manager (Ara Damansara branch))

I’m Song, born on May 21st, 1999. I’ve been a swimming coach since 2018. Having 10+ years of swimming experience doesn’t always mean knowing how to teach beginners, especially those scared of water. I’ve learned various teaching methods to help children overcome their fear and become skilled swimmers.

Currently, I’m the assistant branch manager at Skywhale swimming academy. I enjoy sharing swimming knowledge with parents, ensuring they understand their children’s progress in the water.

Swimming is not just a sport; it’s a life-saving skill. I’m proud to be part of this sector, helping children gain confidence in the water while keeping them safe.

JH (Senior Coach & Trainer)

Hi to you who reading this. I’m JH, born in 1999. I’m a senior coach and also involved as a trainer at Skywhale swimming Academy. I have been teaching swimming since 2019.

I experienced and learned various type of problems and methods to help our students to learn how to swim in a Fun, Save and Efficient way. Or become a swimmer for competition.

Lastly, please have this in mind. Know how to swim doesn’t mean that you know how to survive and save yourself in deep water. So, learning a proper swimming technique and water survival techniques is very important to all of us to avoid drowning case happened.

Have a good day!!!
