A warm welcome to Justin Tan, who is joining our Splash Singapore board.
Our most recent learn-to-swim classes in Singapore filled up fast! We’re ready to expand our programming to reach and teach even more people. 🏊🏽♂️🏊🏻♀️🏊🏾
🔹 How did you find out about Splash and get involved?
〰️ I swim regularly with different groups in Singapore and got to know Flo (Splash Senior Coach), who invited me to participate in Make Waves 2024, which I really enjoyed and found very satisfying. Having learned more about the work of Splash, its mission appealed to me, and so when Splash invited me to serve on the board, I was happy to say yes.
🔹 Share a memorable experience of being in the water.
〰️ I’ve had many memorable experiences in the water as it is a magical place. If I had to name one, perhaps it was the time I was scuba diving off Ishigaki island in Okinawa, Japan, where two giant manta rays came by and stayed with us for the entire dive, seemingly enjoying our company and the bubbles from our breathing!
🔹 Share some encouraging words for Splashers or anyone learning to swim.
〰️ The most important thing is to have fun and take it one step at a time.
🔹 Ocean, lake, or pool?
〰️ Ocean. I love swimming with my family in the ocean. The Maldives is our happy place. But it can also be somewhere else like Cebu, Desaru or Japan.
