Chief Trainer
Lockie is the former head coach of a swim team at an international school in Singapore and has over a decade of coaching experience. With his energy levels, Lockie easily keeps pace with hyped-up toddlers, competitive swimmers, or fellow triathletes—sometimes all in a day.
Tyrone Peh
Head of Innovation
Tyrone left a career as a software engineer in a large MNC for his role as Director of Innovation. He is an experienced coach who conducted proficiency tests in a previous swim school. Home-cooked meals are less exciting to him than the kitchen equipment used to make them.
Tan Huey Ying
Head of Business Development
Huey Ying believes that business is meant for good and that purpose-centric businesses are the way to go. She works with words and water as an editor and a swim teacher. Good books and long dives make her as happy as seeing people discover the joy and freedom of being in water.
