Our Lessons Follow SwimSafer, Singapore’s National Water Safety Programme

Rest assured, your child’s safety is our top priority. Your child works through the SwimSafer stages below, so survival skills are built step by step alongside their strokes.

With a team of NROC-certified swim instructors, we follow every safety protocol and supervise your child closely at every lesson.

Stage 1: Building Water Confidence

In this first stage, children are introduced to the water in a fun and supportive way, helping them feel safe and confident. They learn basic swimming skills like floating, kicking, and putting their faces in the water.

(Approx. 5 lessons)

Stage 2: Strengthening Basic Skills

Here, kids build on what they’ve learned, becoming more comfortable moving through the water. They are also taught sculling (a way to move hands in the water for balance), and how to safely get in and out of the pool.

(Approx. 8-12 lessons)

Stage 3: Developing Safety Awareness

Children develop stronger swimming techniques and start learning important survival skills, like floating for longer and treading water. They are also introduced to being safe in deeper water, giving them more confidence in various situations.

(Approx. 10-14 lessons)

Stage Bronze: Improving Stamina and Rescue Basics

At this stage, kids learn to swim more efficiently and are introduced to simple rescue techniques, like helping someone safely from the poolside. Their stamina is also built up through longer swims and more practice.

(Approx. 12-16 lessons)

Stage Silver: Refining Technique and Building Endurance

Children refine their swimming strokes for better technique and speed, while also improving their rescue and survival skills. They swim longer distances, increasing their strength and endurance in the water.

(Approx. 15-19 lessons)

Stage Gold: Mastering Advanced Skills

In the final stage, kids become strong, confident swimmers capable of handling advanced lifesaving and safety challenges. They practice complex rescue skills and are prepared to swim safely and effectively in a variety of water conditions.

(Approx. 18 lessons and up)

  • Stage 3: Develops intermediate swimming skills, emphasises survival techniques, and introduces deep-water safety
  • Stage Bronze: Enhances swimming efficiency, introduces rescue skills, and strengthens swimming stamina.
  • Stage Silver: Further refines stroke techniques, enhances survival and rescue skills, and increases swimming endurance.
  • Stage Gold: Focuses on advanced swimming and lifesaving skills, promoting proficiency in handling complex water safety scenarios.

We Offer Children Swimming Lessons Island-Wide!

ActiveSG Swimming Complex

Our instructors offer swimming classes at ActiveSG Swimming Complexes across Singapore in the form of group classes or private 1-to-1 classes.

Each ActiveSG Swimming Complex has different operating hours and group coaching timings, so the timings may not be as flexible as a private pool.

Our instructors are able to cater to all kinds of timings and locations such as Yishun , Sengkang , Punggol , and more.

If you or your child has access to a private pool such as condo pools, we’re happy to send our swimming instructors down to cater to your convenience and timing.

Our private swimming lessons can be conducted at any pool in Singapore, at any timing to your convenience.

Learning to swim as an adult was not easy, but Coach Darren was patient and set the pacing to what I needed, brilliant coaching!

We have been with Just Swim for two years+ for 1:1 swimming lessons. We started with Coach Darren, who taught our son. He was a great coach and our son picked up his swimming skills quickly and confidently. When we felt our son was ready to stop lessons, we enrolled our daughter with Coach Dorothy. Our daughter was initially resistant to learning, but with time, Coach Dorothy trained her well with the right balance of TLC and discipline. We are very happy to see that our daughter has now graduated and is able to swim and survive in the water. Thank you, Coach Darren and Coach Dorothy!!

Coach Jeff has been a fantastic swim coach for my son, Keita. Within a year, Keita learned front crawl, back crawl, and breaststroke. Jeff is very patient and great with kids, which made every lesson enjoyable. Keita always looked forward to his swimming classes and really had fun learning. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great coach for their children.

Your child should wear a well-fitting swimsuit. A swim diaper is essential for younger children if they are not potty-trained. Goggles and a swim cap can also be helpful, especially for children with longer hair or sensitivity to chlorine.

How Long Will It Take For My Child To Become A Confident Swimmer?

The time it takes for a child to become a confident swimmer varies greatly and depends on factors like age, frequency of lessons, individual learning pace, and comfort level in the water. Generally, consistent practice over several months to a few years is required for noticeable proficiency.
