Weekly children swimming lessons for my son was very worth it – his asthma attack seldom came, daily morning sinus has ceased, and best of all, energetic with a nice body build!

Don’t Drown, Swim Around

Many people don’t know about the wonderful benefits children gain from learning to swim. When a child attends swimming classes and learns to swim, they will become safe when playing in or around the water. We all want them to be safe and sound so children swimming lessons are the perfect solution!

Smart Kids Swim

Children that take swimming lessons are often healthier than children who don’t engage in athletics. It’s a great way to stay fit and have fun too. By taking regular swimming classes, the oxygen levels in your child’s brain increases. This helps your child stay on task and improves his ability to focus on his academics.

Important things to note:

Your child may take some time before being confident enough to swim independently. Give your child some time to learn water confidence and strokes properly. It takes a lot of patience and encouragement for a child to swim properly.

Children will usually not do properly under stressful conditions. Compare it to yourself learning from a driving instructor who tells you off over every turn.

SwimSafer Awards

At Singapore Swimming Academy, all children swimming lessons follow the SwimSafer Awards System which is approved by the Singapore Sports Council. Our swimming classes are designed with their strict criteria in mind.
As children progress with their swimming lessons and are able to perform certain strokes, they will be sent for a proficiency test. They get a SwimSafer Award each time they pass a test. These SwimSafer Awards are accepted at all swimming schools in Singapore.

Start At The Beginning (SwimSafer Stage 1 & 2)

The beginner level swimming lessons at Singapore Swimming Academy are geared toward younger children learning to swim. Children will be instructed about water safety throughout their swimming classes. They will learn basic strokes such as the front crawl and the breaststroke. Children will be introduced to rhythmic breathing techniques and streamlined gliding once they learn to swim. Once the child can swim independently in the competition pool during their swimming lessons, they are considered to have passed the beginner level and move up to Singapore Swimming Academy’s intermediate swimming classes.

Getting More Graceful (SwimSafer Stage 3 & 4)

At Singapore Swimming Academy, when a child learns to swim and passes the beginner level, he is eligible to take intermediate swimming lessons. During these swimming classes, more focus will be placed on proper techniques for more grace in the water. These swimming lessons will help the children learn to swim using new strokes such as the front crawl, breaststroke, sidestroke and backstroke. Once they progress in their swimming classes, they can take the test to move onto Singapore Swimming Academy’s advanced swimming lessons.

Swimming Like A Fish (SwimSafer Stage 5 & 6)

After your child passes through both the beginner and intermediate swimming lessons, he will be eligible to take advanced swimming classes. Your child will learn to swim using more difficult strokes such as the butterfly and standard backstroke. In Singapore Swimming Academy’s advanced swimming lessons, your child will be preparing for the SwimSafer Silver and Gold Awards.
