These swimming lessons are designed specifically for preschool-aged children, and offered before they transition into school-age swimming classes. Generally, children aged around three to five years old, cannot wait to swim on their own.
At this stage, our specialised swimming lessons from 3-year-olds to 5-year-olds swimming lessons are designed to focus on basic water confidence, water safety, skills and coordination and growing their enjoyment of the water. Your child at this stage needs to develop these key life skills at an early age to enable them to remain safer in and around water.
At our swim school, All Pre-school Swimming Classes are kept at a maximum of 3 children per class, your kids will get the maximum attention from our instructor.
If they have had previous experience in babies/toddlers class with us they will respond better to an instructor's instruction, and let us know your current class, we will find the right level for you in our swim programme.
If they didn't attend any swim class before, there is no need for a swim assessment. Such preschool students go to entry-level classes directly. If the student attended swimming class before, the assessment is needed. Your child will move to the next level as soon as they have attained the required criteria. Perpetual enrollment is accepted depending on availability.

Learning to swim at a young age teaches essential water safety skills to your child, reducing the risk of drowning and increasing water confidence.
Swimming helps preschoolers develop strong muscles, improve coordination and balance, and enhance fine and gross motor skills. Regular swimming also increases flexibility and range of motion, promoting overall physical health.
Swimming helps cardiovascular health by facilitating the coordination between the heart and lungs, reducing the workload on the heart to circulate blood and oxygen efficiently.
Swim lessons provide opportunities for preschoolers to interact with outsiders like instructors and peers, other than family. This fosters social skills such as teamwork and communication.
Mastering new swimming skills improves self-esteem and confidence in the little minds, increasing their sense of accomplishment.
Swimming stimulates cognitive abilities through learning new strokes, following instructions, and understanding water dynamics.
