Kid Swimming Lessons
Aged 6-12 years
Selecting a private swim coach for your child can significantly impact their early years. A coach serves as both a mentor and a friend, shaping their experience in the water. The right choice can make swimming lessons something they eagerly anticipate, while the wrong one may lead to reluctance—creating challenges for parents as well.
As such, placing your trust with a proven service provider for your dearest children is a decision not to be taken lightly, as it will ultimately affect the family as a whole.

Why do kids need to learn to swim in Singapore?
Swimming has evolved from being a basic survival skill in Singapore to a vital life requirement, playing a key role in various aspects of daily life.
This makes enrolling your kids in swimming lessons all the more essential.
In Singapore, kids are expected to pass mandatory swim tests in both International and Local Schools. They’re regularly exposed to outdoor school activities requiring swimming, such as Swim Physical Education and swimming activities in orientation camps. Swimming pools are a common feature. Additionally, the Swimsafer test is a compulsory program in all local primary schools. Swimming is also an essential skill for all males when serving in National Service.
