Meet Your Instructor, Coach Jeckson
Hi, I’m Coach Jeckson.
I have a very straightforward way of coaching. I believe that children need to understand their limits and maintain a high level of discipline while they are in the water. Some people might see me as a firm instructor, but I truly believe that providing this kind of structure gives young swimmers a huge advantage. When a child knows exactly what is expected of them, they stop being lazy and start making real progress.
In my sessions, there is no room for slacking off. We put a massive amount of effort into perfecting every movement. Whether we are practicing basic kicks or working on complex strokes, I expect my students to give their full attention to the task. This is how we build the strength and technique needed to excel in the SwimSafer programme.
I am not afraid to be strict if a student is misbehaving during our swimming lessons.Safety and focus are my top priorities. However, I always make sure to have a quiet chat with the child once the lesson is over. I explain exactly why I had to correct their behaviour so they can understand the lesson behind the discipline. I want my students to leave the pool feeling proud of their hard work and motivated to do even better in the next session.
See you at the pool!
