Joseph Schooling at The Swim Lab

“I hope all budding swimmers can enjoy the water - no matter how fast or slow they are. Everyone should be able to express themselves in the pool and feel the happiness and freedom swimming has to offer.”

Small Group Classes in a Supportive Environment:

We’re rooting for every child to experience the joys and benefits of sports.

Grouped by similar abilities, classes are kept small and cosy – so every child learns at a pace and in an environment that’s conducive for them. Our pedagogy encourages play and growth in a child-centered environment, so that even the most water-shy child experiences the pool as a welcoming, safe, and fun space for learning.

Learn the Right Way, at the Right Pace:

Structured, methodical learning progression.

Our in-house curriculum is designed for every child to experience smooth learning progression at levels appropriate to them. Every child who joins Swim Lab is first assessed and placed during a friendly free trial session, so that their journey with us is tailored to their abilities and optimised for their growth – within and beyond the pool.

The Swim Lab Experienced Qualified Coaches

Experienced, Qualified, and Inspiring Coaches:

Child-centered instructors who emphasise safety, fun, and growth for every child.

Our team of fun-loving coaches comprise former athletes who deeply understand the benefits of water sport and share a passion for facilitating holistic swim experiences that inspire kids – both within and beyond the pool. In addition to graduating from our in-house 80-hour training programme and being certified in child safeguarding and first aid, our coaches are also trained in play-based, child-centered approaches by Playeum.

[The coaches] are fun, they use all sorts of equipment, they are gentle yet firm in their own ways. Their approach towards children who’re afraid is assuring and the children feel secure with them. My children are definitely benefitting well from their lessons.
