I joined the Water Safety program because I have always tried to learn how to swim, but never got the chance. Since I got this opportunity, I took the chance – because why not?

When I joined the Lean to Ride program, I was pretty excited! I learnt a lot of unexpected things like riding through obstacles, learning hand signals, and about the environment I’m riding in.
