Meet Your Instructor, Coach Jeckson

Ready to build water confidence?

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!

– Coach Jeckson

Jeckson is known for his firm and disciplined approach to coaching. He believes that for a child to truly improve, they must first understand their boundaries in the water. By setting clear expectations, he ensures that every student stays focused and respects the rules of the pool.

He does not believe in letting students slack off during their time in the water. Instead, Jeckson encourages his students to put a massive amount of effort into every stroke they make. This high standard helps children develop the technical precision they need to become strong and efficient swimmers.

As a registered member of the National Registry of Coaches (NROC), Jeckson is a highly qualified professional. He is fully certified to lead students through the SwimSafer programme. His focus on technical excellence is perfect for swimming lessons for kidswho are ready to push themselves further.

While Jeckson is strict when it comes to behaviour and safety, he is also a fair and thoughtful mentor. If he has to be firm with a student for misbehaving, he always takes a moment after the lesson to have a quiet conversation with them. He explains exactly why he had to correct them and helps them understand how to do better next time.

Jeckson feels that this disciplined environment is a great benefit for both children and their parents. It helps young swimmers build the resilience and focus they will need later in life.
