Hi, I’m Darren, founder of JustSwim SG.
Four years ago, I was working at a global bank, cold-calling 45 people a day, reporting to a manager who cared more about KPIs than people. I was burnt out, unfulfilled, and looking for a way to take back control of my life.
When COVID-19 hit, I quit.
Since then, I’ve built a business doing what I love: coaching others, working with amazing kids and adults, and creating real impact in the community.
This program is everything I wish I had when I started.
But I’ll be honest, this isn’t a get-rich-quick scheme. It takes heart, hustle, and a passion for teaching. If that’s you, then read on.

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.
