Most people see a swimming pool Coach Ferris sees preparation.
Where others see laps and leisure, he sees survival skills, discipline, composure and opportunities far beyond the shoreline.
Welcome to FERRIS Sportfolio, where learning to swim isn’t just about strokes.
It’s about building a life.
It Starts With Survival It Ends With Opportunity.
“Swimming isn’t a luxury anymore,” Coach Ferris says. “It’s a necessity.”
In today’s world, water safety skills aren’t optional. They’re essential.
Lessons emphasise water survival awareness, controlled breathing, calm movement, and confidence under uncertainty delivered in a structured, disciplined environment.
But Coach Ferris takes it further.
He believes aquatic literacy can open doors to competitive sport, professional pathways, offshore industries, and marine-related careers.
He doesn’t just teach freestyle.
He teaches preparedness.
A Kid From Shah Alam Who Never Left the Water
Coach Ferris was nine when he first dove in.
Growing up between Shah Alam and Subang Jaya, progressing through sports school development and competitive participation, his early years were measured in discipline and performance.
The pool didn’t just build stamina.
It built composure.
He once explored possibilities beyond the pool but the water kept calling him back.
Not for medals.
For impact.
Why “Sportfolio”?
Because swimming is just page one.
FERRIS Sportfolio reflects structure, progression, and long-term direction.
Coach Ferris approaches coaching with both athletic discipline and a business mind focused on programme structure, measurable progress, and refined client experience.
A swimming class teaches strokes.
A Sportfolio builds capability.
The Heart Behind the Hustle
Here’s where it gets real.
Coach Ferris is known for highly personalised instruction tailoring sessions to each swimmer’s psychology and learning style.
He also works closely with autistic swimmers, where patience, empathy, and calibrated communication matter more than speed.
There’s also open-water exposure training helping swimmers develop instinct, awareness, and calm decision-making beyond controlled pool settings.
This is where swimming becomes more than a class.
It becomes growth.
Starting at Two Years Old
At FERRIS Sportfolio, students can begin as young as two.
For toddlers, it’s not about perfect technique.
It’s about floating. Breathing. Staying calm.
Because when it comes to water safety skills, early exposure saves lives.
Parents don’t just sign up for lessons.
They invest in peace of mind.
Building in a Tough System
Right now, FERRIS Sportfolio operates across Kajang, Bayu Lakehomes, and Subang Jaya.
Running a structured academy isn’t always easy. Pool access is competitive. Facilities aren’t always built for long-term progression.
Still, he pushes forward.
With intention.
With structure.
With vision.
The Five Year Dream: Malaysia’s First Swimming College
Coach Ferris doesn’t just want more lanes.
He wants purpose-built indoor aquatic facilities aligned with professional training standards spaces designed for structured development, safety calibration, and long term programme continuity.
A one-stop hub where swimming is treated seriously.
Strategic.
Not speculative.
More Than a Coach
Coach Ferris isn’t just teaching kids to swim.
He’s building discipline, life-saving competence, and confidence under pressure.
He’s shaping swimmers who are prepared whether in a pool, open water, or beyond.
That’s bigger than a business.
That’s direction.
