It’s been 35 years that I am a successful business person having built & run a swim school, trained hundreds of swim teachers the AUSTSWIM way & now pass on these skills to enthusiastic swim teachers in India – what could be more rewarding than knowing you’ve helped saved thousands of lives through a career you love.

I was a market analyst at Thomson Reuters Company and started swimming as a hobby, fell in love with it and have made it my passion. I made it a point to swim daily and have pursued my passion into my profession. It was a big leap of faith for me to leave a promising career with Reuters for swimming after becoming certified AUSTSWIM teacher. And today I am living my passion, making every day more exciting than yesterday..
