Your Safety Is Our Priority While Swimming With Sharks

Swimming in open water is exciting, but it’s also unpredictable. That’s why every JustSwim open-water session is built around safety first, so you can build confidence while staying fully in control.

Here’s how we make sure every open-water swim is as safe as it is effective:

Trained, NROC-Certified Open-Water Coaches

All instructors are certified and trained specifically in open-water safety protocols, including rescue drills, swim navigation, and emergency procedures.

Pre-Swim Briefing at Every Session

Before every lesson, we assess current conditions, wind, waves, and swimmer readiness, so you know exactly what to expect and how to respond.

Safety Equipment Provided for Every Swimmer

We equip each swimmer with visibility buoys, tinted goggles, and optional fins, plus we maintain a strict buddy system to ensure no one swims alone.

Real-Time Guidance in the Water

Our instructors swim alongside you and provide in-the-moment feedback and correction, especially during drills involving currents, waves, or sighting.

Confidence Before Distance

We never push for speed or distance until you’re mentally and physically ready. Our focus is on building calm, strong, and safe swimmers, one step at a time.

I am almost 40yo, and I don't know how to swim. I am uneasy on water. Today is my first session in swimming with Coach Joshua. We had a 45min session. I am happy to say that I learned to do a short distance of breast stroke. It was a fun, informative and fulfilling experience. At first there was some feeling of low-self esteem, but during and after the class, I felt more confidence and excited to practice more, and look forward to the next class. I encourage everyone to learn to swim! It is good for your health, makes holidays on resorts, beaches and sea more enjoyable, and makes you more confident too. Thanks to Coach Joshua! He is patient, encouraging and explains the principles clearly! 🙌The photos attached here are in AMK Swimming complex.

My kids started their lesson on Dec 2022. Thank you coach Darren and i can see great improvement. They love it, has lots of fun during lesson and cant wait for the next lesson start.
When I enrolled my 4 yrs daughter in swimming lessons, I was concerned about her lack of experience. But the coach were amazing! Coach took her time to teach her the basics, and she has been improving with each lesson. Coach was very patient with her, and it's been such a pleasure to see her develop her skills. I highly recommend this for anyone looking for quality swimming lessons!

Coach Darren is by far the best i have seen in Singapore. His way of coaching was so efficient and thorough. He truly covered the most important basics of swimming that i felt lacked in all the other lessons my sons have taken with other coaches. My 7 year old son’s progress was phenomenal in just under a week, he was able to refine his strokes and was swimming with coordination and good speed, compared to the little progress i saw after months of weekly lessons he has had before with other coaches. We had this coach for just 4 days since we were visiting Singapore from Canada, and I am amazed by how different the results were in just 4 lessons. So if you want to see speedy progress, I highly recommend Darren. Well worth the $ spent.

Frequently Asked Questions About Open Water Swimming Lessons In Singapore

Changi Beach, Sentosa Beach, and East Coast Beach are available for open water swimming. But if you want to learn open swimming, JustSwim conducts lessons every day from 7 am to 8 pm at Sentosa and East Coast Beach.

Yes. Open water swimming is much more difficult than swimming in a regular pool because of conditions like currents and winds. Your body will also need to exert more effort in open water due to the colder temperature. Swimming straight in open waters is much more draining than swimming pools.

Studies have suggested that open water swimming can help with the following:

  • Weight loss
  • Improving your immune system
  • Increasing your fitness levels
  • Growing your muscles
  • Boosting your mood

Without training, swimming in open waters can be dangerous. You should avoid swimming unsupervised in such areas. But with proper training, you’ll learn safety measures and all the skills needed to swim confidently on beaches, oceans, lakes, or what-have-you.

Open water swim lessons are generally affordable and can cost $120 or lower for group sessions. Call our certified swim coaches for more information on our rates.
