Name: Mr Ami


Swimming Coach

Why do you think swimming is so important?

Swimming is important because it can save a life and at the same time helps you stay healthy.

Which is your favourite swimming stroke and why?

I like backstroke because when I stay on my back I feel relaxed as I can breathe anytime I like

What is your favourite thing about teaching swimming?

My favourite thing about teaching swimming is when the kids try their best to do all the drills and tasks

If you could be any sea creature what would you be and why?

I would like to be a sea turtle because they swim effortless in the sea and they also live over 100 years old.

Who are your swimming and/or sporting heroes?

My swimming hero would be Michael Phelps


My other sport hero would be the Malaysian top badminton player Dato Lee Chong Wei.

If you had to enter a swimming race today which stroke would you swim to win?

With my age now and my age category I would choose 50m Butterfly as not many old people still want to swim Butterfly. This is where the age strategy takes place.

What's other sports/physical activities do you do to keep healthy outside of the pool?

I play Badminton twice a week, cycle over 50km once a week and do a Weight-Lifting workout at home 3-4 times a week.

What's your proudest sporting or swimming achievement?

When I was 10 years old I really wanted to fly without using my parents money. So I worked hard in Swimming until I was chosen to be part of the Swimming State Team and fly to Sarawak for a competition.
