10. Will there be swimming lessons during school exam periods or vacation? 

​

Our swimming lessons last only 45 minutes, on a once-a-week basis, so students are not encouraged to stop swim classes for prolonged periods as this may affect their learning progress and preparation for upcoming swim tests/assessments.

There will be swimming test/assessment conducted at least twice a year for those students who are ready to take the tests, subjected to their coaches' judgement of the students' progress.

 

Award certificates will be issued to students who have successfully passed their tests. Our swim certificates are recognized by MOE schools. 

​

​

15. How long does the whole swimming course take?  

​

Usually, it takes an approximate 2 to 3 years for a 7 year-old child to achieve Singapore Swim School's Stage 6 Gold award.

​

However, it is advisable to learn until at least stage 4 bronze level to be water survival safe.

 

The learning process varies from one student to the next.

 

Students who are naturally comfortable maneuvering the waters may learn more quickly than others, while those who have a fear of water may take longer.

 

Despite this slight difference, our coaches are here to guide every student toward a common end-goal. 

​

​

16. What are the benefits of continuing our swimming program all the way?

​

Students who are interested in swimming and continue will be awarded as a qualified Lifesaver and Swim Coach.

 

Students who are 16 years old and above can work part time as a Lifesaver during school holidays while waiting for their A-Level results or waiting to enroll into the Polytechnic.

 

Extra qualification is very important nowadays for part time or as a career backup.
