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.
How to start
WhatsApp us your condo, who the lessons are for and the times that suit you. We'll match you with a coach and book a $28 trial. After that, you can book, pay and track progress in the Poolva app.
