For competitive swimmers
Competitive swimming coach in Singapore — for swimmers who want to win, not just train
Your child already puts in the hours. Coach Jina makes sure those hours turn into faster race times, with weekly 1-to-1 technical coaching from a former SEA Games athlete.

The missing layer
Club training builds the engine. We tune it.
Clubs and squads are essential — they give swimmers volume, fitness and race exposure. But with one coach to a lane of swimmers, small technical faults slip through and get repeated thousands of times a week.
That’s where Coach Jina comes in. One focused session a week, zeroed in on the gaps your swimmer is unaware of and your club coach may be too busy to catch. Then your swimmer takes the fix back to every club session — so the improvement compounds.
What a session covers
- Body line & head position
- Catch, pull and hand entry
- Kick timing & rhythm
- Breathing pattern under speed
- Race pacing & mindset
- Clear goals for the next club session
Mindset
Change “cannot” to “can”.
Fast swimmers aren’t just technically sharp — they race with belief. Coach Jina coaches the head as well as the stroke: how to approach a race, how to handle a bad swim, and why showing up and doing the right thing every week is what eventually gets you there.
“Some days you win, some days you lose. We just need to keep showing up and do the right thing. Eventually, if we don’t give up, we get there.”

Real result
“His progress didn’t come from me; it came from his determination and his club coach’s daily training. All I did weekly was fine-tune the missing gaps.” — 3:42.66 to 3:07 in the 200m free.
What parents and swimmers say
“She has been my son’s stroke coach for the past five months… he has managed to shave an incredible 40 seconds off his 200m freestyle time in just five months… Coach Jina has an exceptional eye for technique and is able to identify small details in a swimmer’s stroke that can make a significant difference.”
“We will not hesitate to engage you again if my child decides to take his swimming proficiency to the national level.”
“My 9-year-old son took lessons with Coach Jina, and his strokes improved tremendously in a short period of time.”
Frequently asked questions
Who is competitive swimming coaching for?
Swimmers who already train with a club, school team or squad and race at meets such as SSPA timings, club invitationals, SAQ age-group meets or the National School Games, and who want to drop time faster.
Will this clash with my child’s club coach?
Not necessarily, it depends on the approach. Stroke correction complements club training when it addresses your child’s individual technical needs without disrupting their existing programme. It isn’t about changing everything the club coach has taught; when the technical objectives are aligned, it complements club training rather than conflicting with it. How stroke correction works with club training →
Which strokes do you coach?
All four competitive strokes — freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly — plus the race skills around them such as streamlines, turns and pacing. For starts, see the next question.
Can you help my child improve their turns and starts?
Yes! I work on turns as part of my stroke correction sessions.
When it comes to starts, both Delta and Queenstown swimming pools have restrictions on using the starting blocks for safety reasons. This means we are unable to carry out practical block-start training at these venues.
Nevertheless, I can still guide your child with technical pointers and advice to help them understand what they can improve.
If your child needs more focused practice on competitive starts, I can connect you with another competitive stroke correction coach who has access to a suitable venue for this type of training.
My aim is to help each swimmer get the appropriate guidance for their individual needs.
