Young swimming coach goes viral on social media for his looks; social media reacts, ‘Does he teach moms too?'
Since July, videos of him teaching children at Hangzhou Chenjinglun Sports School have spread across the internet. Most of these were recorded by the mothers themselves. In the clips, he wears bright swim trunks while sometimes going shirtless. His surname is Chen.
The young coach just finished high school and was admitted to the Nanjing Sport Institute. He now works as a part-time junior coach for over twenty small children aged four to five.
Hangzhou Chenjinglun Sports School is known for producing world-class swimmers like Sun Yang and Chen Yufei. This summer, nearly 800 children joined swimming lessons there.
The teenage coach has caught everyone's eye online. Many people shared funny and admiring comments about him. His sudden fame has added more attention to the school's summer programme, according to the South China Morning Post.
Many people on social media joked they now want to take swimming lessons just to see him. Some users called him cute while others asked if grown-ups could join his class too.
'Any young man with a little bit of muscle will drive the aunts crazy,' wrote one social media user on Instagram.
Another quipped, 'I need a child to borrow.'
'Does he teach moms too? Asking for a friend,' asked another.
'How to enroll there even tho I haven't become a mom yet,' asked another user.
Another one wrote, 'I would send myself to learn how to swim.'
'So married women with kids and a family are lining up to see a swim instructor?' observed another.
Another user wrote, 'Ladies, the guy is barely an adult! All I see is a minor teaching other minors how to swim.'
His social media is filled with fans praising him. Earlier in July, the coach reacted to it.
'Thank you for your support. However, I ask that you respect my privacy. Please refrain from sending me personal messages,' SCMP quoted him as saying.
'Otherwise, I may have to deactivate this account, as it has started to affect my daily life,' the viral coach added.

Urvashi Rautela's Dior bag stolen from Gatwick airport, actor seeks help from London police
Actor Urvashi Rautela took to her Instagram account on Thursday to seek help from London police after her Dior bag went missing. She claimed that her luxury bag was stolen from the baggage belt after she landed at Wimbledon. She said she was flying on Emirates from Mumbai to London via Dubai. She took to her Instagram Stories and wrote, 'Injustice tolerated is injustice repeated.' She tagged Gatwick Airport, Emirates, and the Metropolitan Police in her post and added pictures of her boarding pass, baggage tag, and a first-class ticket to prove her claim. Her post read, 'Our @wimbledon @dior brown baggage was stolen from the belt at @gatwickairport after flying @emirates from Mumbai during #Wimbledon. Baggage tag & ticket above. Urgently requesting help to retrieve it.' Urvashi Rautela further used hashtags like #platinumemiratesmember and #gatwickairportpolice in her post to escalate the matter and seek urgent help. Her post has attracted mixed reactions from the netizens. While some did not believe the actor's claims, others expressed concerns. One user wrote in the comment section, 'I hope your Labubus are safe.' 'First Indian to lose baggage returning from Wimbledon,' added another. One more commented, "Previously got her iPhone stolen and now Dior bag…' The actor has now turned off the comment section of her post. Meanwhile, there has been no official response from Gatwick Airport, Emirates Airlines, or the UK police following Urvashi's complaint. Urvasi attended the Wimbledon championships earlier in July. She grabbed a lot of attention on the internet when she posted pictures from the event. She was at the women's singles final match. She wore a white midi-length dress which featured a corsetted bodice. However, the highlight of her look was the Hermes handbag. The bag was adorned with not one but four Labubu dolls. She wrote in the caption of her post, 'PRINCESS OF WALES #KATEMIDDLETON TRULY AN HONOR TO MEET YOU meeting thee is a joy divine WIMBLEDON 2025 FINALS!' In 2023, Urvashi lost her 24-carat gold iPhone at the Narendra Modi Stadium during the India vs. Pakistan match. She had tagged Ahmedabad Stadium and Narendra Modi Stadium and wrote, "Lost my 24 carat real gold i phone at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad! If anyone comes across it, please help. Contact me ASAP! #LostPhone #AhmedabadStadium #HelpNeeded #indvspak @modistadium @ahmedabadpolice."

Samantha Drops Photos Of Bouquets, Coffee Dates Amid Dating Buzz With Raj Nidimoru
Last Updated: Samantha Ruth Prabhu posted new photos of coffee, dinner dates, and beautiful bouquets on Instagram amid dating rumours with filmmaker Raj Nidimoru. A day after making headlines for her dinner outing with filmmaker Raj Nidimoru, actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu took to Instagram to share a curated glimpse into her life — a thoughtfully composed photo dump filled with flowers, pets, solo adventures, and quiet moments of joy. The post, which quickly went viral, added fresh fuel to the ongoing rumours of her relationship with Raj, her co-collaborator on several recent projects. Captioning the post with the reflective line, 'All you truly leave behind is a life well lived," Samantha invited her fans into a space of calm and gratitude — but also subtle mystery. The post opens with a photo of the actress standing at home, grinning widely while holding two giant bouquets of vibrant flowers. The gesture of appreciation, whether from admirers, collaborators, or perhaps someone more special, remained open to interpretation — but its warmth set the tone for the entire carousel. Next, Samantha is seen reclining on a couch, bonding with her beloved pet dog, a familiar presence in many of her posts. The mood then transitions as she steps out, striding down an empty road in a chic mini dress and stilettos, owning the night with effortless glamour. The carefree walk, perhaps from an event or a dinner date, adds a cinematic flair to the sequence. Other photos include a moment from a relaxed coffee date, followed by glimpses of a candlelit dinner — where she's seen smiling with genuine excitement. In one close-up shot, Samantha flaunts a sleek ring, while in another, she shares her white ensemble and perfume of choice for the evening. There's an aesthetic harmony in her visuals — muted elegance meets lived-in luxury. The carousel continues with images of her seated on a flight, a radiant selfie during a script reading session, and a charmingly grainy shot captured on a film camera — evoking nostalgia. She closes the photo dump with two intimate moments: one of her cherished cat lounging at home, and another where she relishes a meal while curled up on the couch — serene and content. While Samantha hasn't directly addressed the growing chatter around her personal life, this post arrives at a telling time. She was recently spotted by the paparazzi exiting a Mumbai restaurant after a dinner with Raj Nidimoru — a moment that reignited speculation about their alleged romance. For the unversed, Samantha and Raj previously collaborated on the hit web series The Family Man and later on Citadel: Honey Bunny, which cemented their professional rapport. Their partnership has since extended to other creative projects like Rakt Brahmand: The Bloody Kingdom, and even entrepreneurial ventures — they are co-owners of a pickleball team, Chennai Super Champs. Despite the close bond and frequent sightings, neither Samantha nor Raj has confirmed or denied the dating rumours. Raj is currently married to stylist Shhyamali De and has a daughter. Samantha, meanwhile, has remained single publicly since her 2021 divorce from actor Naga Chaitanya. Raj Nidimoru and his creative partner DK are also deep in production for The Family Man Season 3, once again featuring Manoj Bajpayee in the lead. As for Samantha, she continues to balance acting, business, wellness retreats, and self-care while carefully curating the life she shares with the world — one thoughtfully captioned Instagram post at a time.
