👋 Meet Captain Nuriasih! Our Captains are graduates of our programmes who now volunteer to support other beginner swimmers by providing pastoral care and support on deck. 👩✈️Our graduate Captains and Coaches are critical part of making our programmes welcoming and effective. 🔹Has swimming given you joy? How? 〰️ As a person who fear of water, I overcome my fear by learning to swim at Splash. I was thrilled to get in on the Beginner class. Not only gaining swim experience, knowledge and physical health, I built a lot new friendships. Now I can bravely swim in the open water. 🔹 A memorable swim experience? 〰️ My first open water swimming lesson, I was panicked and gripped the coach tightly. But now I love swimming in the ocean seeing the sky and water meet. 🔹 Who is your favourite swimmer? 〰️ Haruka Nanase, an anime character. He’s a calm character who loves being in the water and he is a very competitive swimmer. 🔹 Where is home for you? 〰️ Home is where my big family gathered together. 🔹 If you could have been the one to teach someone famous alive or dead to swim, who would it be? 〰️ Daniel Radcliffe, I love Harry Potter 🔹 Talent you wish you had? 〰️ I wish I was good at martial arts specifically kung fu. 🔹Go to karaoke song? 〰️ My love, Westlife (I am tone deaf though) 🔹Day job 〰️ Domestic worker #improveacesss #enhancewellbeing #ignitechange #everyonecanswim Joy Gabotero Stephanie Ching Daisy Luscaw Simon Holliday Libby Alexander
