Meet The Team!
We endeavour to foster a company environment in which our teachers are respected, valued, listened to, and are part of the FloatPlus Swimming family.
Professional development is an essential aspect of the company, and we offer in-house training and external courses in order to further staff knowledge and to encourage continuous learning.
We have coaches fluent in English, Cantonese, Mandarin, and German.
We are extremely proud of our young, talented, personable, and multi-lingual team!
A multi-talented coach, in and out of the water.
Having spent over 20 years coaching sport in Hong Kong and honing his skills, Robin is a highly popular coach with a passion for swimming, and for helping others.
One of the three founding owners of FloatPlus Swimming, Robin is an accomplished sportsman with many to his bow. One of which is winning the FloatPlus Coach of The Year since the company started!
Karen grew up in Hong Kong and has been in, and around water, since a baby.
She has always enjoyed swimming as it seemed to be her natural environment, and her efforts in the pool culminated in representing Hong Kong at the 1976 Olympic Games and 1978 Commonwealth Games.
Now much older and wiser, Karen brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to every class, and truly believes that learning (and having fun!) is a life-long journey, both in the pool, and out.
