Do I breathe out from my nose and my mouth?
You be taught to exhale air through your mouth every time your face is in the water, by learning to blow bubble into the water from your mouth. As your swimming improves progressively and you learn to take deeper breaths.

Practising blowing bubble through my mouth, will I have enough air left to swim with ?
Blowing bubble out in a slow steady stream is a first step to understanding breathing while swimming. Each different Swim Strokes requires different methods which you be taught separately as you progress in your swim.

What is the recommended age for my child to begin swimming and water safety lessons ?
Children between 7 months to 3 years old can join an aquatic activity program and when the child reaches age of 4 can then join the swim programme. I would advise children between 7 months to 3 years old to be taught privately.

What is taught on the first lesson ?
On their first lesson, water / pool orientation, familiarization with the pool environment and adjustment to the water. At the same time, I will assess their skills and abilities as well as educated them to water safety. Water confidence is slowly introduced like letting them getting used to their face being wet, blowing bubbles, holding breath and submerging head under water, floating, push and glide and etc etc...

Where are lessons conducted ?
Lessons are conducted at Singapore pubilc swimming complex facilities and Private Condominium Swimming Pool.

After my kid can swim, what will you teach ?
After the Water Confidence Programme, your kid will be train swim laps in order to build their stamina. It generally takes about 12 lessons to build their stamina in order to swim the 8 laps.

What qualifications should the swimming teacher hold?
Our swimming teachers are fully qualified and are certified by the (SSC) Singapore Sport Council and (SASA) Singapore Amateur Swimming Association. We are also (SRLSS) Singapore Royal Life Saving Society Qualified Lifeguards and have completed a full National Coaching Accreditation Program (NCAP) certified course, standard First Aid and CPR License course.

How many children will be in the class?
The number children in a class is depend on the type of class you chose in our programs. We have class size 1 student (individual lesson ) up to 12 students (group lesson).

How fast will my child learn?
Everyone has a different learning curve .... it is a process, not a product. It is the child's learning pace, not when the swim coach says it nor when the parent wants it, but when the child is ready. Learning to swim for children takes alot of practice, patience and understanding from parents and swim coaches. It is best to introduce skills only when they can be acquired with ease and confidence.

It's about developing a parenting style between parents and swim coach in relation to your child's learning style. Children learn best through encouragement and support rather than demand and demean.

What's average duration for a beginner to pick up basic swimming foundation?
It's takes about 12 lessons to learn the Breast Stroke but it also depends on the student learning pace. Never compare your child with peers or sibling. There is no deadline. Invariably the slower we go, the faster they learn and the better the retention and technique of the learner. It is best not to compare as every child is unique. Some learn to walk in 9 months while others in 15 months. More frequent swims / practise will definitely speed up learning pace.

How do I overcome water phobia?
Students will be taught simple procedures through experiential learning procedures that would give them control of themselves in water.
