A young swimming coach in eastern China has captured the attention of mainland social media with his striking looks and athletic physique, prompting many mothers to rush to enrol their children in his classes.

Since early July, videos of a handsome swimming coach at Hangzhou Chen Jinglun Sport School in Zhejiang province teaching young children have circulated widely online, according to the Jiefang Daily.

These clips are reportedly taken by the mothers of the coach’s pupils, allured by his charming and youthful appearance, as internet users have humorously noted.
