Assistant Coaches Viki Norbu and Tashi are actively supporting the sessions under Naman’s guidance, ensuring close mentorship and a safe, engaging environment for all trainees. The course also incorporates essential pool maintenance training—covering water quality monitoring, use of sanitizing chemicals, showering protocols before swimming, and appropriate swimwear practices—to instill a holistic understanding of pool operations.

The impact of the training goes far beyond the pool. In the final week, participants will receive hands-on training in lifeguarding, preparing them for real-world scenarios. Assistant Coach Viki Norbu emphasized the long-term value of the program: “This is more than just learning how to swim. These skills are highly demanded in the hospitality sector and can lead to self-employment as trainers or lifeguards. It’s about building life skills and opening doors to new opportunities.”

With initiatives like this, the Bhutan Aquatics Federation is not only promoting essential life skills but also paving the way for young Bhutanese to explore meaningful careers. As each participant grows in confidence and competence, this program is quietly creating waves of change—one stroke at a time.
