WhyUs

Why Your Child Should Learn Swimming From Us?

Learn A Life Saving Skill

Every child is born a natural swimmer and often without fear of water, like a “fish in water”. Learning how to swim not just keep your little ones safe, it also strengthens them both physically and mentally.

Quality Bonding Time

During the lesson, parents are encouraged to participate together as it is an excellent opportunity for you to bond and observe your child develop their love of floating in a weightless, calm and safe environment.

Build Confidence

When you introduced your child to activities like swimming at an early age, it helps your little one to eliminate any possible fear of water, instil confidence and develop a sense of independence in them.

Either parent (or even grandparents or older brothers & sisters) can join in the fun in the pool, but due to space restrictions and the nature of the course, we can only allow one adult in the water with your child each week; anyone else is welcome to watch from the side. Please note that the person swimming with your child must be a responsible adult.
Yes, definitely. The public pools are clean and well maintained by Singapore Sports Council. They are also regularly checked by National Environment Agency of Singapore (NEA). Babies are safe to be in chlorinated pool unless your child has any serious medical conditions and sensitive skin. If this is so, you might want to consult a medical professional prior to registration.
