★★★★★
Jenisha was scared to get into the pool because of her phobia. In just two sessions her confidence improved and she was excited to swim. The right balance of fun and discipline — she had a great learning experience.

My daughter learnt breast stroke, back stroke and survival techniques within 16 days, starting completely as a newbie. I especially appreciate the effort to get rid of her water phobia. She can now swim across the pool with confidence — all thanks to your guidance!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the SwimSafer programme?

SwimSafer is Singapore’s national water-safety and learn-to-swim framework, made up of six progressive stages. We are an independent swim school that coaches students through this syllabus.

Who do you teach?

Babies and toddlers, children, teens and adults of all abilities — including nervous beginners with aqua phobia and learners with special needs such as autism, Down syndrome and ADHD.

Where are lessons held?

Both at your own pool and at public swimming complexes. Coach U.K. teaches private lessons at your condominium, landed-home or private pool; for lessons at a public swimming complex, we arrange a certified coach from our island-wide network. SwimSafer tests and assessments are handled by certified assessors.

Are lessons private or in groups?

We offer one-to-one private lessons and small-group lessons. Private lessons progress fastest; small groups are a friendly, value option.

How do I get started?

Message us on WhatsApp or fill in the enquiry form. We’ll recommend the right lesson type, pool, and schedule, and arrange a trial.
