How much does a lesson cost?

Small-group lessons (4 to 6 pax) start from $40 per head, the headline "from $40" rate. Semi-private (2 to 3 pax) starts from $50 per head. Private 1-to-1 with an NROC-registered coach is $60 to $120 per lesson, depending on the coach's experience and the slot. The final quote depends on the coach, pool and lesson length, and is always confirmed before you commit.

Kids from 2.5 years, adults, and senior citizens aged 55 and up. We coach total beginners, stroke correction, water fitness, and returning swimmers fixing old habits.

Do you teach complete beginners and non-swimmers?

Yes. Many of our learners, both children and adults, start with no swimming experience at all. Early lessons focus on water comfort, breathing, and safety before any strokes are introduced.

How many lessons will it take to learn to swim?

It depends on the swimmer's age, how comfortable they are in water, and how often they practise. Most beginners build basic water confidence within the first few lessons, and your coach reviews progress with you as you go.

Do you offer group lessons?

Yes. You can book a private 1-to-1 lesson, a semi-private lesson with 2 to 3 swimmers, or a small group of 4 to 6. Group lessons split the rate, so they cost less per head.

Do you teach senior citizens?

Yes. We coach seniors aged 55 and up at a gentle, unhurried pace, with a focus on water confidence and joint-friendly fitness. There is no maximum age.

Can I choose a male or female coach?

Yes. Tell us your preference when you message us and we'll match a coach from our roster accordingly.

Where do lessons take place?

Your condo pool (islandwide) or a public swimming complex. We coach across Singapore on weekdays and weekends, with daytime and evening slots.

What should we bring to a lesson?

Swimwear, a towel, and goggles. A swim cap helps for longer hair. Your coach brings any teaching aids that are needed.

Are your coaches certified?

Yes. Every coach is registered on Sport Singapore's National Registry of Coaches (NROC), which requires accreditation through the SG-Coach programme (formerly NCAP), a Basic Sport Science certificate, current Standard First Aid with CPR and AED, and Singapore Life Saving Society (SLSS) awards. Coaches are also SwimSafer Instructor certified to teach and assess the national programme, and many hold international qualifications such as STA or AUSTSWIM.

What is SwimSafer 2.0 and what are the stages?

SwimSafer 2.0 is Singapore's national water-safety programme, run by Sport Singapore and Singapore Aquatics. It has six progressive stages: Stage 1 builds water confidence; Stage 2 covers a 25 m swim; Stage 3 introduces all four strokes; and Stages 4, 5 and 6 award the Bronze, Silver and Gold certificates, adding rescue, survival and longer-distance skills. Our coaches teach and assess every stage.

Is there a package lock-in?

No. Pay per lesson. No packages required and no long commitment.
