Working as a swim coach in India at Kunskapsskolan International is a lot of fun.
Posted on October 18, 2016
Working as a swim coach at one of our schools in India is slightly different from what I’ve done for about 35 years as a coach in Sweden but it’s as much fun. I do believe that kids are kids where ever they live on this planet. Energetic, eager to learn, some get it faster than others, some love the water and some don’t, some never feel cold and some always do.
The group of kids I’m showing you pictures of today, grade 4-5-6 are so eager to learn and there’s so much energy in the group…they have been working on backstroke, freestyle and just started with breaststroke kick yesterday….twice a week I’ve had the pleasure of teaching them the techniques in the different strokes. Some of them can become really good competitive swimmers actually…they just have to stick with it and remember that
Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in and day out
We only have a pool heated by the sun so now when the nights are getting cooler and cooler I’m sad to say that we have to close our pool….can’t wait until the month of march is here so that we can get back into the water again !

Kunskapsskolans first swim academy
Posted on July 10, 2016
finally we have our swim programme up and running at Kunskapsskolan International, KI, Gurgaon,India….first and only one….so far !…and to my knowledge the only Swim Academy in all of Asia with a trained coach from Sweden who just happens to be me !
KI is a day board school which means the students have longer days with extra curricular subjects like sports,dance,music,art,woodwork etc, and swimming is one of the sports that the students can choose as part of their life skills sessions …I have created a curriculum for the swimming ( will be on the learning portal soon ) and I’m pretty sure we are the first school in India with a swim programme like this…
the small kids have splash and play in the splash pool
let’s see what we can accomplish until sometime in november because then we have to close the pool for the winter and hopefully we can open it up in march again….yes, it’s not easy to be a swimmer, worse if you are a competitive swimmer, in the northern parts of India, well, unless you have an indoor pool of course, but those are rare around here….I will keep you updated on our progress in the pool and if you are interested in joining our school or want to know more about our programme please contact me Susanna at
