“I taught a group of kids of various ages from Ban Huai Khi Lek village basic swimming skills and techniques for beginners. There are not many pools or swimming coaches outside of the city that could provide the opportunity, so using my 12 years of competitive swimming training, I taught the best I could. Some of the children were scared at first, but as we got more comfortable in the water they started holding their breath and kicking all on their own. My goal was to make them comfortable enough in the pool in order for them to be interested in swimming, and it was incredible to watch such young kids be excited about learning to swim. I was happy that I could share my passion and that they could learn water safety that would last a lifetime.” Nic, Grade 12
