Dear uncle Bob,

Thank you for believing in me and pushed me to complete DA in lifesaving. I thought I couldn't pass as I could not meet the timings required. But eventually I managed to pass.

I will always rmb your funny jokes like SBC is stomach bigger than chest. (It's funny that I don't rmb what SBC stands for in choking, but I rmbed the jokes instead).

Rest in peace.

To a great teacher, mentor and friend

Bob Lim was not only a teacher to teach us lifesaving, he was also a mentor who shared lots of knowledge in coaching and life experiences with me and all our classmates and coaches. Most of all he was very kind, helpful and encouraging to let us explore the swimming career, be it is as lifeguard, instructor or coaches. Thank you so much for all you have done of us 🙏

Thank you 🙏 for leading me to the swimming career even as I started older in the class, with  less knowledgeable and weaker in fitness.
I really could not have done it without you. Thanks  your advice and encouragement and help me to pass all my courses 🙏

Will really miss you, will remember what you have taught us and try my best to be a better coach and better person

RIP 🙏🙏🙏  感恩您🙏谢谢您🙏🙏🙏
We will always remember you, our teacher and our friend

Mr bob is my lifesaving coach. He guided me into lifesaving/ lifeguarding industry. Without him I will not be a lifeguard and lifesaving instructor.
Thank You Mr bob.

Uncle Bob, you have made my swimming days memorable even though I was just a kid that time. I have loved swimming because of you and I thank you for being such a great teacher and person.
You are always jovial and humorous and my brother and I have always looked forward to lessons at BB Swimming Complex.

You will be greatly missed. RIP.

Uncle Bob was my swimming coach for as long as I could remember - from when I was a child up till Secondary School, attaining the Lifesaving Bronze Medallion under him.

The dedication and commitment that he has for his students is clear. He would always  drill us the basics until we got it right, and the countless times he made us to 7-9 breaths per stroke to build our endurance.

He is also extremely passionate in ensuring that we pass the swimming tests and become competent swimmers, and some of the things that I’ve learnt from his lessons, I could still recall today.

As a child I loved the swimming boards that he brought, especially the yellow and blue one. Though the colours has faded, many of the memories of his lessons still remain.

Thank you for your patience and dedication to Swimming and Lifesaving. Though I have long “graduated” from formal swimming lessons, I’ll fondly remember the times that I’ve learnt how to swim under you.

You will be dearly missed by all of us. Rest in peace.

Even though I stop swimming a long time ago, but I've always remembered him as my swimming instructor. Back then, I was still in primary school, I used to disturb him by pulling his toe hair or removing his cap (it was pretty fun tho :p). It was also the reason that made every sunday a good day.

Thank you for being that patient and friendly Uncle Bob that I know. Rest in peace Uncle Bob.

I didn’t have the chance to know you personally but I have heard so many stories of you through your daughter who is like a sister to me. It’s amazing to hear about the great man that you were and how you led your life with such kindness, humour, and strength. I now see where Mabel got all her qualities from. You have raised three wonderful children with your beautiful wife and you must be so proud of them as they are of you. I wished that I could have had the chance to interact with you. May you rest in peace for you are so fondly remembered and loved by all.

I first met Bob when I was a student in ACJC during my Lifeguard Corps days. He instructed the group for the various certifications.

I had cleared my Lifesaving 1,2,3 certification earlier so he asked me to assist him during lessons. After everyone cleared, we then started on our Bronze Medallion and also Pool Lifeguard certification. He suggested that we take part in the Open Water competition at Sentosa. We went without much training just to have fun together but I remember that our girls team came in third for the "rubber tire float" (I don't remember the actual name) relay.

After I graduated from ACJC, I continued to take the Award of Merit as well as Distinction certificates under him. Upon completion, he invited me to join him at Bukit Batok Swimming Complex on weekends.. He took me under his wing and taught me how to teach lifesaving before telling me to for the Instructor course. Later on, I went on finish clearing my first batch of students all the way through Bronze Medallion during my days at NUS.

We lost touch after that but once again, I met up with him in 2013 when I was back in ACJC as the teacher in charge of the Lifeguard Corps. He came as an examiner to test the students. We had a chat after the exam ended and caught up.

Once in a while, he would comment on my posts when I was still teacher in charge of the Lifeguard Corps to encourage me.

I enjoyed reading his posts and how proud he was to be a grandfather.

Thank you for everything you have taught me. May you rest in peace respected coach, teacher, mentor and friend!

I was very surprise and sad when I saw the news of your passing. You have taught me swimming for as long as I can remember. As a child I always thought that you look good for an old man and you would live a long life! Thank you for your guidance and teachings all these years.

You were the one that encouraged me to go for swimming competitions at BBSC and I even won a few medals! And subsequently I even represented Bukit Batok at the Singapore National Games. I might be in a different sport now, but you were the one that instilled the competitive drive in me!

Eventually I got burnt out and stopped swimming. However, you met my mom coincidentally a few years later and encouraged me to take life saving lessons. I was very surprised you still remembered me. With your words of encouragement, I managed to gain a valuable life skill and qualified for BM!

Although we lost contact during covid, I'm glad to know that you have been doing well and left us without any pain. I will always remember your mentorship and words of wisdom which I hold dear to. I truly appreciate all that you have done for me and I will look back fondly on the memories we have together. RIP

Thank you for the guidance when me , Jonathan , Nelson and my elder sis Hoongyuin. Even though we did not listen to your advice to go for lifesaving teacher course .. we are all very grateful for you for being a awesome and informative teacher ...

Once again .. thank you uncle Bob for all your guidance to these naughty and playful bunch of students

As a parent, I have entrusted my 3 children coached under him from kindergarten to junior college. They came out as confident adults and he empowered them with survival skills. He knows his students who followed his instructions and those trying to skip a few laps. No temper just with gentle voice to swim the missing laps. He has his own sense of humour like collecting the coaching fees and stored them under his cap. He is a simple man. Great to have known him. It takes a special dedicated coach and his passion for the sports

# data[].attributes.body
To begin with addressing you as Uncle Bob since a kid has created this friendly relationship to what you’re about to teach me and my brothers from the start. You have established yourself as a fatherly figure of one whom is passionate about educating life-saving. Together with the swimming lessons, you also taught us how to be patient and learn how to take care of ourselves out of the waters. It’s edged in our minds from the many years of lessons that you’ve taught us, “while water is fun to play with, always remember, safety comes first”. Thank you for your life lessons you’ve imparted.

Respectfully,
Wilson.

From the moment our daughters joined your swim team in 2019, we have witnessed a remarkable transformation in our daughters. Not only have they become more skilled & confident swimmers, but they have also developed invaluable life skills what will serve them well beyond the pool. You have instilled in them important values such as perseverance, teamwork, and sportsmanship. They have learned the importance of setting goals and working diligently to attain them.

The memories our daughters have of their time under your guidance are cherished treasures. Your coaching, mentorship and unwavering belief in their abilities will forever be etched in their hearts.

RIP, Uncle Bob 🖤

Thank you for always reminding us how fragile and special our lives are. You were my coach for all life-saving certs and pushed me to take the BM and CPR course. Twice even! As they had expired and I had contemplated life-guarding as a PT job. I will never forget your genuine heart and fun loving spirit, as you helped us truly enjoy life saving lessons and make new friends. Thank you, and may you now rest peacefully.

My first acquaintance with you is when I start working at swimmingly pool 20 years ago. My impression of you is the smile of your face.That’s smile is your trademark smile even till today. I see many happy children learning to swim from your swimming lesson.  From small children(learning swimming from u)to vibrant youth/ adult( learning lifesaving).

Slowly I got to know you better from my own observations and conversations we had. I ‘m always is amaze how an individual like him has so much knowledge of running a swimming pool and it’s operation. He is forecoming with his advice on my work at the swimming pool and lay the fundamentals on my knowledge on swimming pool operations and I am thankful for that.

Thank you - Toh

15 Years ago, Uncle Bob coach swimming to both myself & my sister. He always kept a positive mind during lesson, never fail to instil good habits and values to every individual, especially the younger ones. I vividly remember him constantly teaching me to brace difficulty and be honest in every lap in lessons.
His lesson taught me well both in swimming and values bringing me well through my NS as a Naval Diver and in life as a righteous person.

Rest in Peace Uncle Bob.

Uncle Bob has been teaching me swimming and lifesaving since my K2 days (1997) to my JC2 days (2008). His humble teachings have taught me to be a better swimmer and lifesaver.

I still can remember that whenever he receives money from the students or from their parents while coaching another student in the swimming pool, he will place the cash under his cap.

I also recall that while I was a young boy swimming the 5km (100 laps) event at Bukit Batok Swimming Complex, he advised me to change stroke from breaststroke to freestyle i.e. alternate the strokes so that my stamina can last till the end.

His smile and laughter will be dearly missed by all. Thank you Uncle Bob.

Uncle Bob was the first ever coach I have had, from starting to learn swimming at K2 till I got all my life Life Saving Certifications and becoming a lifeguard to becoming an instructor, needless to say he saw me grow up and along the way he has influenced and impacted my life in many ways. I will forever be thankful of his teachings and mentorship as it has turned me into the person I am today.

Uncle Bob, Thank you for being such great instructor and mentor to everyone that you have took under your wing ❤️ Its your turn to rest now, lets kids continue your teachings and lessons. You will always be remembered and missed!

Uncle Bob was my neighbour and swim coach. When I was a kid, I always looked forward to seeing him and Bingo at the void deck. Uncle Bob always had a very calming presence. I remember always feeling very safe when he was around.

When I was his student, I’d try to bargain for lesser laps. Uncle Bob would entertain my nonsense but he’d still make sure I did my laps.

A year or two ago, I bumped into him at the Bukit Batok East Community Club. He was there to get new notes for CNY. Unfortunately, the machine ran out of notes. It was raining and I asked if he was heading home and if I could get a lift. On the drive back, he asked about my life and how things were going. He stressed the importance of having savings and insurance etc. Then he told me about Marcus and I could tell that he was so proud of him.

Thank you so much, Uncle Bob, for always being so genuine, caring, and fatherly. I am so sad that you’re gone. You will be missed. ♥️♥️♥️

Hi uncle Bob, ur the most admirable and inspiring person I've met. I will recall the fun memories I have with you.

Everytime I see you come to the pool to teach it makes my day. I for sure will walk up to you for a chat. But instead u will give me riddles n talks about religion. HAHHA then few months pass, we talk about relationships.

Thn you told me as long as I keep breathing in and out. Confirm can find someone. HAHAH great advice.

These sum up the fun laughter's I have with you. Although we are not blood related, but you are one of the closest uncles I care for. I'm glad we had a 2h+ long conversation the last time I saw you. Now I treasure it more than ever.

Rest well, uncle Bob. 🙏🏻

Bob was a very caring brother, he like to share knowledge and concern ,every CNY we sure make an effort to visit his family an we have a wonderful family time together.
Until I was station oversea, we not able to have this gathering however we link in FB, time to time we still communicate.
I’m very shocking when reading Paul informed the bad new, just can’t accepting that is true.

Uncle Bob is my first coach that taught me both swimming and lifesaving. He had taught me for 6 years and achieved certifications, exposed us to work part-time as a lifeguard while studying.

I've benefitted in several ways through his coaching and guidance, such as teaching swim classes, rescued victims from the water, and was also selected to represent Singapore for the Lifesaving World Championship 2018.

His teachings had also made us bonded and stay connected. He had and will continue to stay impacted in our lives ♥️

Uncle Bob was my instructor for 8 years - the best time I’ve had in my growing to teenage years. I’ve always looked forward to his classes and got the opportunity to participate in competitive swimming. Uncle Bob was always eager and pushed us to our maximum potential - even when we thought it was not possible. He cared for our lives outside of class, to make sure we are doing good and of our best life. Really sad that I won’t be seeing your face at the pool anymore, but the lessons you’ve taught will always be appreciated and be held closely to my heart.

Thank you for teaching me how to swim from when I was young. It has been over 2 decades since I was the small boy learning how to tread water to being able to swim confidently and having these amazing life skills that has defined my future.

Not only that, you were kind and caring, and an amazing father figure to all of us. You were strict, yet not without a sense of humour. Disciplined, yet fun to be around with. The lessons and skills you've imparted to me will stay with me throughout my life.

Thank you for everything Uncle Bob. May you rest peacefully having lived a blessed and fulfilling life.

It was never dull when you were the one teaching us, and every lesson made me feel accomplished of myself, as you strived for all of us to push harder and be the better version of ourselves than we were before. Although you could never get my mums name right, I never really corrected you because I never had the heart to, and to me it was a little fun thing that made me day whenever I heard it. I hope you can rest easy knowing how many lives you’ve impacted for the better. Thank you for making part of my childhood fulfilling, and allowing me to be who I am today. -zhixin

I really appreciate the lifesaving skills you have taught me these past few years. When they mentioned about you not making it, I was really sad 😔. U were one of my favourite teachers 👨‍🏫and you even helped me. You helped me by overcoming my fear of waters 💦. It really helped me a lot. You even said weird and funny jokes which made me, my brother and my fellow teammates laugh. I really enjoyed your lessons.
They were really fun and I always wanted to go 🚶‍♀️. Sadly, you have passed away and that I am very shocked 😱and surprised 😰when my brother announced this matter. You have always been so healthy. I felt like crying 😭but I couldn't as I was in public.
I will miss all the joy that you gave me, my brother and my teammates. I also passed my swimming 🏊‍♀  test because of you, Uncle Bob. I am very grateful for that. I wanted to tell you the good news after you have recovered,  but...u know...you passed away.

Hi Uncle Bob,

It's been quite a few years since we last met. I can't thank you enough for the lifeskill you've taught me and my brothers. Lifesaving is definitely a good skill to have, and also the life lessons you've taught us. Even when I was working as a part-time lifeguard, you will take some time out in between our "hi" and "byes" to give out pointers and advice. Really appreciate everything you've taught, life skills and life lessons. Thank you and rest well 🙏

Dearest Daddy, you are truly the strongest, most discipline and giving person. I am so honored to be your daughter. You have continuously bettered yourself this whole life, learning everything you can to keep improving yourself.

It is really such a marvel to observe the way you lead your life. From nothing, you made something for yourself and built a family you protected and loved at all costs. You taught yourself forgiveness and tried your best to be the bigger person always.

You are an incredibly kind, courteous, respectful, determined and positive person. Your discipline is inspiring. The list goes on.

Thank you so much for loving me with all your might. I am so blessed to have you as my daddy! I will always be daddy's girl. Thank you for always being there for me, I never have to fear because you are always going to make everything okay and make sure that I am fine.

You have exceeded in everything you have ever done and went over and beyond. Please rest easy knowing you have done your absolute best. We will miss you greatly daddy. We know you will be rewarded for all the pure love and joy you have spread on this earth!!

I love you daddy ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I was one of uncle Bob's livesaving student. Though he had professed to not have a great educational background, he always strived to teach us all he knew. He taught and reasoned with us with clarity, helping us understand what exactly we were doing so that we could better save the lives of others. This is testament to his diligence in learning.

I recall that there were other instructors who were jealous of him and his students. So, when they took the role of evaluators, they were more strict with his students, but we passed nonetheless with his help.

He had also pushed me to improve. You would think that to swim faster you would have to swim more and more vigorously. But uncle Bob was efficient with the little time we have: we swam up to 12 strokes without breathing to improve our stamina, swam without our legs or hands, swam and locked out hands to our shoulder with each stroke.

He was an excellent teacher and has impacted the lives of many. I am but just one of those lives.

Thanks for your guidance during my time with SLSS. I appreciate your words of wisdom. I always had a good laugh whenever you posted jokes on FB. You have a good fight and it’s time to rest well.

RIP

I know you have completed your life’s mission with straight As and through your life’s work u will continue to touch and impact people’s lives forever. With the stories that your students, colleagues and friends have shared .. you continue to inspire me to be a better individual. We miss you so much daddy but i know you are at peace now.
