MY STORY

Here is a brief introduction to how I became a swimming instructor and a lifeguard in my thirties.

  • MY NAME IS ALAN CIE

    For the first 30 years of my life, I was petrified of water. Because of my fear, I never learned how to swim. Growing up, I looked at my peers having fun, jumping into the water while I stayed on the shore, ashamed of myself. Yet the fear prevailed for many years. One day, fed up with life of shame and embarrassment, I decided to change this.

  • I LEARNED TO SWIM AT 32 YEARS OF AGE.

    I spent following few years learning to swim by myself. I went to the pool almost every single day and followed what I learned from swimming tutorials on YouTube. I became really good at it and eventually fell in love with it. Water became my favourite environment.

  • I’M A SWIMMING INSTRUCTOR & POOL LIFEGUARD

    The feeling of accomplishment and strength it gave me, pushed me to face even bigger challenges.

    Today, I am a qualified Swimming Instructor and a Certified Pool Lifeguard. I share what I learnt with other adults who wish to overcome their fear of water by learning to swim.

  • I SHARE MY KNOWLEDGE ONLINE & OFFLINE

    Online, I distribute free information I wished someone shared with me when I was learning to swim. Offline I made swimming teaching, water safety and drowning prevention my mission in life and hope to use the experience from my past as a catalyst towards positive change in the world.

I’M TRAINING TO BECOME AN OCEAN LIFEGUARD

For my further personal development, I’m on a journey to become an ocean lifeguard.

I hope my story will inspire you and many more regular people to face their fears and see for themselves how much more they are capable of.


To your success!
