Aunty Niki recently graduated from the University of Stirling at Singapore Institute of Management, with a degree in Sports Studies and Marketing.

​

She started swimming at APS’ learn-to-swim program when she was just three years old and eventually progressed to APSC to pursue competitive swimming. She is a huge bookworm in her free time, so her books are always accessible through her phone’s kindle app.

​

On why she decided to be a swim teacher with APS, Aunty Niki

sees it as a way to give back to the community that she has grown up in, to impart whatever she had the privilege of learning over the years to the kids.

​

"I grew up in the APS/APSC community. I value the belief here - where everything is a learning opportunity. Every and any achievement, no matter how small, is celebrated.

I enjoy spreading the love for the water and the sport. Interacting with the kids through teaching them how to swim has let me feel a different kind of joy. I have learnt how to translate my understanding and skills I have for swimming into the way I deliver my lessons, to engage the kids and making sure they have fun."

Uncle Kenneth has been with APS Swim School for 11 years… since 2010!

The journey of seeing a child being able to swim efficiently is very rewarding. Through the process of engaging the children, he gets to understand himself better and adjust & adapt accordingly. He grows along with his students! This two-way learning and continuous self-discovery process are very satisfying for him.

During the week, Uncle Alex works as a stockbroker! He works at APS Swim to do something meaningful and contribute back to society, which also is a break from his 9-5 job. Also doesn't hurt to have a bit of pocket money and enjoy the outdoor sun!
