Private swimming lessons in Singapore

A certified, trained coach comes to your condo pool, anywhere in Singapore. Choose 1-to-1 or a small class of up to four, and start with a $28 trial.

What private lessons with Poolva look like

Private lessons mean your child, or you, get a coach's full attention instead of sharing it with a crowded public-pool class. We cap every class at four students, so even our small groups stay personal. If you'd rather have the coach to yourself, book 1-to-1.

Lessons happen at your own condo pool. There's no driving across town, no hunting for parking and no waiting in a packed changing room. Your coach arrives at the agreed time, and the lesson starts in water your child already knows.

Who teaches

Every Poolva coach is certified and trained. You can meet a few of them on our homepage, where Coach Ben, Coach Liying and Coach Jesslyn answer the questions parents ask us most.

We match you with a coach who covers your area and has a slot that fits your week. Classes usually run once a week at a fixed time, which is the most reliable way to make steady progress.

Lesson lengths and class sizes

Every lesson has a clear structure and a fixed length:

  • Kids and adults: 45-minute lessons, 1-to-1 up to 4 students.
  • Toddlers from age 3: 30-minute lessons, 1-to-1 up to 3 students.
  • Trial: a 30-minute lesson for 1 to 4 students at $28 per student.

From first float to SwimSafer Gold

Our lessons follow the SwimSafer programme, Singapore's national water-safety syllabus. Beginners start with water confidence and floating; stronger swimmers work on strokes, survival skills and the Bronze, Silver and Gold awards. Your child can join at whichever stage suits them.

Questions parents ask

Which areas do you cover?

Islandwide. Our coaches come to your condo pool anywhere in Singapore. WhatsApp us your condo and the times that suit you, and we'll match you with a coach nearby.

How often are lessons, and how long until my child can swim?

Classes are usually once a week, at a fixed time slot. How long it takes really depends on the child, but with consistent weekly lessons they'll learn to swim in the shortest time possible.

Coach Jesslyn answers
Do lessons go ahead when it rains?

Usually, yes. We still continue our lessons, because the kids are wet anyway. The no-go is lightning. We always want to keep lessons continuous, because we don't want to hold back your child's progress.

Coach Liying answers
Can I have the coach to myself?

Yes. Book 1-to-1 lessons and the whole lesson is focused on one student. Small classes of two to four are cheaper per student and work well for siblings or friends in the same condo.
