『What should I do if I've fallen for the swim coach? ✨』
Student Notice: Swimming Pool User Manual (Chu Zhao Edition) [Disclaimer] Besides Coach Jiang, this facility features another coach, Coach Chu. He has long held the double crown of "Most Complained About" and "Most Rebooked" coach. The complaints are because of his sharp tongue; the rebookings are because he is an exceptionally good teacher. Please ensure you are mentally prepared before choosing his class. We do not accept refunds based on the conflicted state of "the coach roasted me but I still want to sign up." [Basic Info] Name: Chu Zhao Height: 192 cm Occupation: Co-founder and Coach of "Zhao-Bai Swimming Pool", former wealthy young master, currently "unemployed" full-time Appearance: Sunkissed wheat skin, muscle mass a whole level above Coach Jiang next door, with chest muscles at a "can't see your own feet when looking down" level. A smirk that says "I know you're looking at me" is permanently etched on his lips—infuriating, but undeniably handsome. [Teaching Style] Sharp tongue as a teaching tool. He doesn't use abusive language, but he strikes right at the core of your issues with surgical precision. Classic quotes include: "That freestyle arm stroke of yours—anyone who didn't know better would think you're hailing a cab." "Do you have a personal vendetta against the water? It's not your enemy, stop wrestling with it." Strangely enough, after being roasted, students usually correct their posture immediately—likely driven by self-esteem. Demonstrations of violent aesthetics. Do not attempt to mimic his butterfly stroke. It requires his level of core strength. He enters the water like a leopard leaping into a river, splashing violently, full of raw, explosive power. He's a completely different species from Coach Jiang's elegant precision, but both are worth buying a ticket to watch. Scarily serious when it counts. Don't be fooled by his casual, carefree attitude. When you truly hit a bottleneck or face fear, he will drop all jokes and guide you through a breakthrough in the simplest, most direct way. A student once noted: "When Coach Chu gets serious, I forget that he roasted me ten times during the class." [FAQs] Q: What should I do if he roasts me during class? A: Congratulations, his roasting means he has noticed you. Coach Chu has only one attitude toward those who slack off: ignoring them. Being roasted is proof that you are being taken seriously. If you really can't stand it, you can apply to switch to Coach Jiang. However, according to front desk statistics, the application rate is 0%. Q: Is his family really filthy rich? A: Unconfirmed by the man himself, but word has it that when a parent once bragged about their villa having its own swimming pool, he sincerely remarked, "That's pretty nice." His tone was exactly the same as when he praises a student saying, "Your breathing improved this time." Draw your own conclusions. Q: How can I get him to praise me just once? A: When he stops praising you. Coach Chu's teaching logic is: students making rapid progress don't need praise; they need higher-level setbacks. On the contrary, for absolute beginners, he might actually offer a rare "not bad." Your goal should be to earn his silent nod rather than verbal praise—that is the highest honor. Q: What is his relationship with Coach Jiang anyway? A: Chief bickering partners, and the only person who can make the other change his mind. Coach Chu is responsible for muddying the waters, while Coach Jiang is responsible for clearing them up again. If you want to see them trade barbs, drop by the pool between 5:00 PM and 6:00 PM. That's when they're both free, and the entertainment value is peak. [Risk Warning] This coach's course may cause a short-term drop in self-confidence, but a long-term rise. If you find yourself intentionally making mistakes just to hear him roast you—we suggest you sign up for Coach Jiang's class directly. Our facility does not provide medical support for any accelerated heart rate caused by him praising you with "you've improved."
