Background Triathlon Swim Workshop Open Water Swimming Course ( Private Swimming Lesson Singapore )

Coach Lin grew up in Singapore and Malaysia and was routinely acclimatized to the culture of open-water swimming. He had learned all the abilities and tactics required to swim in the open sea throughout his stay there.

Aside from the lessons, Coach Lin had the unique experience of swimming in open water. In contrast to the pool, one could swim against an all-natural beauty of a backdrop. Being able to maneuver in a borderless, vast expanse of water gives the swimmer a sense of freedom and contentment.

Coach Lin discovered a shortage of professional instruction for the genre of Open Water Swimming after migrating to Singapore. So, due to his experience coaching the Nanyang Technological University Biathlon Team, he set out to create a unique coaching approach for open water swimmers. Beginning with only weekend open water clinics, Friendly Dolphin has gradually carved out a professionally-run Open Water Swimming program with private swimming classes operating daily by the waters of Sentosa and the East Coast.

Testimonials

“Through this lifesaving training, I’ve received much information. Previously, I frequently pondered what to do in life-threatening situations. This training has provided me with all the knowledge and addressed all the why, what, when, how, and who questions for all events requiring these talents.

The lifesaving trainers in the program are all aquatic specialists who have experienced life-threatening situations while diving. I’m delighted I picked this school for lifesaving; the instructor’s perspective, expertise, and knowledge are truly useful. I learned how fragile and precious life is. I would suggest this training to everyone who enjoys swimming in open water and to anyone who wants to assist themselves and others. Master a skill that will last a lifetime.

– Rachel Ngiam

“I began with Friendly Dolphin after a decade-year break from my lifesaving 123 training, and after the first few classes, I realized the physical limitations of being out of practice for so long. On the other hand, Coach Lin was diligent in ensuring that I fixed my fundamentals and achieved passing times. Coach Lin’s professional success, I believe, stems from his persistent effort and out-of-the-box scenarios that kept the class thinking, challenging his pupils to fully utilize all of the skills and knowledge that we gained from the training. He is also eager to address and discuss any issues that may arise. Coach Lin’s passion and subject expertise, in short, kept me going under his supervision.”

– Thomas Lim

During this program, I learned a lot and got a lot of experience by assessing different skills in different situations. We met a real-life example of a man suffering a severe cramp in the water during the exam. My exam colleagues and I were initially terrified and unsure of what to do. Coach Lim then reassured both the sufferer and the lifeguards about the issue. Following that, he informed us about the most crucial aspect of the lesson. It is necessary to remain cool and examine the issue. Stay calm at all times; all inspired life savers out there. Do what you believe is correct. Best wishes on your journey.

– Roger Tan

“The Bronze Medallion examination went well for me. I was anticipating a lot of stamina training when my instructor initially informed me about the exam. It was exhausting at first, but as I became accustomed to the inspection routine, everything became simpler. It struck me as pretty essential. If a person can swim 8 laps freestyle without difficulty, I don’t think this Bronze Medallion exam will be too challenging. I did not anticipate passing the exam in less than four months, but I am relieved to have done so under their guidance.”

– Daphne

How to Be Successful in International SEO?

Regarding international SEO, there are two significant factors to consider: the Content Marketing strategy and the technical aspects of the website or blog.

Why do I need to think about or consider International SEO?

Many people believe that simply translating the English keywords is sufficient, but this is not the case.

The keywords must be transcreated, which is the process of taking English keywords and researching terms in the target languages by SEO-trained linguists. For more information, see the article An Introduction to International SEO Keyword Research and the Transcreation Process.

How do I create a domain structure for my multilingual websites?

There are basically three choices:

Country code top-level domains (ccTLDs) or unique domain names: (For example, domain.fr, domain.de, domain.ch)

Subdomains for each country (e.g., fr.domain.com, de.domain.com, ch.domain.com)

Country and language subdirectories (for example, domain.com/de, domain.com/fr, domain.com/ch, domain.com/us/en, domain.com/us/es, and so on)

There is no clear answer because each of these options has advantages and disadvantages. There are technical aspects of your website to consider, such as international targeting, website speed, the use of hreflang codes, and so on.

For more information, please see Google’s tips and don’t hesitate to contact us. I’d be delighted to go over these options with you.

What exactly is a hreflang tag?

Hreflang is a tag that allows you to specify which language you want Google to serve up on a specific page. Implementing hreflang codes appears to be a simple task, but there are some considerations to make, just as there are when setting up your domain structure.

Okay, our multilingual websites have been optimized. Are we done now?

Optimizing your multilingual websites is a critical component of international and global SEO. Your efforts, however, do not end there. Creating and implementing a multilingual content marketing strategy is critical to your long-term success and will eventually result in your web pages ranking high in search engines.

How can I get started with multilingual SEO?

Global SEO takes time and resources, and it is not a service that anyone can provide. If you’d like to learn more about how I might be able to help you and your company, please don’t hesitate to contact Web Leads Digital Agency.

What exactly is international SEO?

International SEO (ISEO) is the process of optimizing your localized and multilingual websites to rank at the top of search engine results pages after properly optimizing the source language website. It entails addressing all ranking signals in Google’s (and other search engines) algorithms. The majority of ranking signals can be “placed” on one of the five pillars listed below:

A website’s technical health
A website’s functionality and usability
On-page SEO includes things you can do on your websites, such as keyword research, website content creation and optimization, meta tags and alt/image tag optimization, content marketing, and more.
Off-page SEO refers to things you can do outside of your website, such as increasing backlinks from other high-quality sites to your website, adding your website to business directories, and so on.
Marketing on social media

A solid international SEO strategy is built on content creation and marketing.
