My 6 year old granddaughter is attending swimming lessons at Jalan Jurong Kechil. Due to her cough, 2 replacement lessons were cancelled.
After that I was not able to book for a slot even though there's an available slot.
On 16 September 2025 at 9.18am Head Coach Mr Arnaud attended to me. He was very understanding as the 2 tokens will expire on the 23 September 2025. Thanks for his helpfulness and kindness. He managed to book 2 slots for my granddaughter. My compliments goes to him and
swimming coach, Ms Olivia.
Her teaching techniques and detailed explanations are amazing. I have observed her teaching the kids and have changed my granddaughter's class to be coached by her. She is great with kids.
Both Mr Arnaud and Ms Olivia are indeed assets to Marden Swim School.
Cheers

Marsden came highly recommended by my cousin, whose three boys are all under Mark’s guidance, and I can see why. Even after just one class, I noticed a big improvement in my son’s water confidence. Each lesson is very systematic— Mark builds on familiar skills while introducing something new every time, so the kids are always learning and progressing. What I really appreciate is that while the structure is consistent, the difficulty increases, keeping the children challenged but not overwhelmed. I literally see improvement in my son’s water skills every lesson!

Mark is also extremely intuitive with kids—he knows how to engage them, motivate them, and bring out their best in the pool. He makes the lessons enjoyable yet purposeful, and it’s clear he has a natural talent for working with children. My son looks forward to every session, and I’m very grateful we found such a dedicated and effective coach. Our friends also swim with Arnault and rave about him too.

Marsden’s admin is also impeccable. The whole swim school is well run and we have had an amazing experience with them so far.

It took us a while to find such an amazing place, as there are just so many swim schools now, and so I highly recommend Marsden to anyone who wants a good ROI on their kids swimming lessons, wants their kid to be water safe and water confident.

Thank you!

Review update: Marsden kindly reached out to give us a second try at a class complimentary. We were thankful for the better overall experience.

****
4 stars for the class itself, but only 2 stars for the overall experience.

We attended a trial class for our 8-month-old baby’s first swim session. We were told to arrive 10 minutes early, which we did, expecting some form of orientation or at least a brief explanation from the front desk. However, when we mentioned we were there for the trial, no guidance was offered. We had to ask where to go, where to leave our belongings, and where the toilets were—basic information that should’ve been provided proactively.

It was also a replacement instructor that day, and there were no clear instructions on how to safely get in and out of the pool with a baby, especially considering the steep steps. We had to rely on other parents for guidance, which made the whole experience feel disorganized and unwelcoming.

The class content itself was decent, but the lack of support and communication left a poor impression. Regrettably, we probably won’t be returning.

Conveniently located near our home, Marsden is amazing with my kid. I can see significant progress of his kick and strokes. We're always looking forward to our Sunday swimming session!

Grateful to Coaches Jolynn and Mark for teaching my son how to swim.

Made the right choice to send my 3 year old daughter to Marsden Swim School at the Jalan Jurong Kechil outlet.

She has been predominantly been trained by Coach Chester who has been nothing short of professional, interactive, and engaging - highly important attributes for kids her age.

Her other coaches for make up classes included coach Anault, coach Song, and coach Brandon, all of which has made her feel comfortable and confident in the pool.

My daughter has been looking forward to every class since she started off with the trial.

For prospective parents, the facilities here are great. The pool is heated and the water is not chlorinated but filtered and treated in another way, which is great for kids with sensitive skin and lungs.

Showering facilities are on the second floor which would definitely need parent accompaniment but has railings to prevent any major accidents. Showers are heated and more than adequate after each class.

Group classes are a decent size, not over crowded in any form or way. In fact, there are times when my daughter has the personal attention for classes at odd timings (near lunchtimes).

Lastly, having the portal is super convenient for us to book classes and make payment. More importantly, we are able to track her progress accordingly as well through their cute classification of starfish, turtles, stingrays and more.

All in all, highly recommend any parents with kids starting from as early as 4 months old but even for older kids, it's never too late to start too! Marsden definitely sets the standard for nurturing a good foundation for your child.

My child looks forward to and enjoys every swimming lesson with iSplash. With their professional guidance, she has picked up skills very quickly and is now able to swim independently. The coaches are patient and friendly and communication from the centre is always clear and easy to follow.

The lessons are enjoyable and safe.

Overall, it’s a great place for swimming lessons. Well worth it and definitely recommended.

Enrolled my daughter in swimming lessons with Isplash at the Jurong West branch in February 2023. When she first started, she was afraid to even put her face into the water. Today, she is a confident swimmer and has successfully attained SwimSafer stage 4 in September.

The coaches strike a great balance between discipline and fun. Classes are well structured with focused drills and practice time that allows the kids to apply what they have learnt.

Also, my appreciation to the admin team, who have been prompt and efficient in the communication. Everything from class scheduling to test preparation is clearly explained and well organised.

Highly recommend to any parent looking for quality swimming lessons and progress.

We engaged Coach Qi as my son’s swimming coach within our condo compound. My son started as a complete beginner and Coach Qi has been very patient and encouraging and he is now able to demonstrate his swimming skills confidently on his own.

She also provides prompt updates on his progress, clearly highlighting what he can do well and what areas need more practice, which helps us understand his development. Administrative arrangements are hassle-free and make-up classes are flexible.

I highly recommend Coach Qi and SteadySwimSchool.

I like Steady Swimming School, all coaches are always friendly. My children’s coach is a female coach, Coach Qi. I am impressed and grateful for her dedication to her students. One of my girls (6 years old) was very afraid of water, but she overcame it with her coach’s guidance. After the lessons, my girls are able to swim with many strokes and long distances, and my older daughter also passed SwimSafer 3.

Coach Qi is thoughtful and punctual, not just a friendly but also a reliable teacher.

Thank you, Coach Qi, and Steady Swimming School! 🐬

We are so grateful to have found Coach Siqi for our daughter’s swimming lessons. From the very first class, she made our daughter feel comfortable, confident, and excited to learn. Coach Siqi has the perfect balance of patience, encouragement, and skill—always making the lessons fun while still pushing her to improve.

It’s been amazing to watch our daughter grow, not only in her swimming abilities but also in her confidence in the water. Coach Siqi genuinely cares about each child’s progress and celebrates their little milestones, which makes such a big difference.

Thank you for being such a wonderful coach and role model. Our daughter looks forward to every lesson, and we couldn’t be happier with her progress! 💙🏊‍♀️

Both my children have been with Swish Swimming for years. They started off in the Stress-Less class, a class tailored for kids nervous in water, before moving on to the regular classes. In our years at Swish, the classes were always small, instructors were friendly, polite, respectful, caring and just the loveliest. It was also always easy contacting them through Whatsapp, super responsive and efficient and we really appreciated their no-questions-asked makeup policy. The kids also attended their swimming camps which they said were fun. All in all, Swish is exactly what we hoped for in a swimming school for young kids - heated pools, great instructors, great customer service. In my opinion, it's hard to find a swimming school like Swish.

Review was made on OWN experience !!

Was greated well with the receptionist/admin staff to wait patiently for the class to start beforehand. She even guided us the toilets and washroom for adults and baby use.

Attended my 1st trial class with Coach Zara last wed at 4pm for my 22 month child. I am glad the coach is very hands-on and helpful with my child as she’s a more bubbly and active child. They even allow parents to let the helpers down if there is a need. Writing this review on own accord to thank her for her great work.

Will defintely take up the swimming course with them the next trip back to Singapore (in Oct) after the baby’s vaccination. The pool is well-maintained and heated as well but the toilet is abit run down so can be improved.

The cons will only be the distance and location as it is not as assessable but it is free parking. Mitch from HQ managed to call back to explain on companies polices even we are both in different countries. Company is very responsible when they encountered some internal paper work issue and even expedite on some payment recurrence concerns and validity. We will prefer to sign up with them when we fly back in Nov (no hard sales at all) even after we feedback on the actual experience.

Hope Swish team can continue their great effort and smile as I praised them for their good teamwork and even advertised on IG. Keep it up team ! 👏

We’ve had a very positive experience with aquaDucks Queenstown for the past 2 years. One of the standout features is the smaller class size, which allows coaches to give each child individual attention and tailor lessons to their pace and confidence level.

The coaches are all patient, nurturing, and highly attuned to early childhood development.
They show genuine respect for the children. Their patience and care create a safe environment where children feel seen, valued, and confident to learn (Shoutout to Coach Marnix, Nicole, Vania, Lulu).

Lessons are thoughtfully structured to build water confidence first, before progressing to skills, which has really helped our child feel safe and motivated. The coaches consistently use encouragement and gentle guidance, fostering independence and self-belief rather than pressure.

The admin team is responsive and helpful, making communication smooth and hassle-free. Booking make-up classes is straightforward and convenient, which we really appreciate as parents.

Overall, this is a swim school that truly prioritises the child’s emotional well-being alongside skill development. We’ve seen clear growth not just in swimming ability, but also in confidence and joy in the water.

The pool in Queenstown is well- maintained and the students in Aqua ducks have to go through a progressive step-by-step learning process. We’ve seen marked improvements in my child’s swimming techniques. Coach Nicole has been an outstanding swim coach for my child over the past months. Coach Nicole creates a supportive and fun environment that keeps the children engaged and excited to train.
We started mid-December 2024 with Coach Nicole, and it's been great.

My 2 kids (6&3) had been having private classes for a while in the condo but didn't show a lot of progress. My youngest one was afraid of water in her face and came to a point she refused to go swim class.

Until we found AquaDucks.
Coach Nicole was quickly able to gain my kids' trust, and bit by bit, she is becoming more comfortable with water. Last weekend was the first time she ran through all the water sprays at Gardens By the Bay, and today, she even put her face inside at Botanic Gardens. She is starting to love water!

My oldest one has also made major progress. She has been swimming with Coach Nicole and Coach Dean and is happy to go. I almost gave up on her swimming skills, thinking as long as she kind of can save herself it's ok and maybe some kids are just not made for swimming perfectly... But I was wrong.

With the right coaches, she has been progressing a lot and even won a friendly school competition.

I think Coach Nicole has the perfect balance of friendliness and gaining trust for the kids, but also strictly to keep the kids engaged and following instructions.

Thanks so far!

Also, extra bonus; love that the pool is heated. There is enough cover. And it's clean. It's easy to take a quick shower after so the kids are ready for diner when they come home.

We love Aquaducks! We joined October 2023, and within less than a year our daughter has grown so much confident with her swimming and has learned some survival swims if she accidentally falls into the water. We love our Coach Jasmine who has been with her from the beginning! Their facility is clean and has 2 pools—1 big and 1 small. All the coaches are patient and encouraging with their students. They incorporate play for the younger kids. The student to coach ratio for my kid’s class is about 3:1 which is great for a more focused teaching. Their make up class is flexible and easy to arrange.

I'm taking private adult swim lessons with Penguin Swim School for my getting back in the water experience after a long haul of absence from pools. From the first contact with the school staff, Sonia has been very helpful to answer my questions and attentive to the details relevant to making my journey in swimming suitable for my needs.
She has assigned Leck as my coach who is knowledgeable and patient with the student.
He has a lot of tips and tricks that when follow through can make me glide through the water more smoothly and less tiring.
During the lessons, several props such as
rubber toy fish,tiny human anatomical plastic doll (to virtually illustrate the postures in addition to real-life swimming),stretching rod (for warm up), fins, and pull bouy have been used to accommodate my stroke and kick improvements.
Wonderful experience with the school and the coach and look forward to taking the next lesson with joy and ease!!

We highly recommend Coach Ayden! He is an excellent swimming instructor who worked with our five-year-old over the course of eight lessons. He is patient, highly competent, and makes learning to swim fun and engaging. We are very happy with our daughter’s progress, and she genuinely enjoyed every session. He is also very caring and attentive, which made us feel completely at ease. We will definitely swim with Penguine and Coach Ayden again the next time we need an instructor.

Coach Ayden is an exceptionally competent swim coach, and I have complete trust in him when it comes to my child’s training and safety in the water. He brings a rare combination of expertise, patience, and genuine care that instantly puts both kids and parents at ease. The way he explains techniques, breaks down movements, and encourages steady improvement shows how deeply he understands not just swimming, but also how to teach it effectively to young learners.

What stands out most is his calm, reassuring presence. He knows exactly when to push, when to support, and how to keep kids motivated without overwhelming them. My child always comes out of his lessons smiling, more confident, and excited to return—which says everything about the environment he creates.

This review has been long overdue since my 3 children started out with Speediswim back in 2017. At this point in time, my daughter is a student-athlete in Singapore Sports School as an artistic swimmer. Next year, my son will also be joining his sister in the school as a water polo player. As Singapore Sports School is a DSA-only school, the student-athletes have to be supported by sporting bodies, such as the Singapore Swimming Association. With this, Speediswim has built the athletes well.

We are really thankful for Speediswim's team of coaches and management for contributing, advising, and supporting impartially in the pursuit of my children's sporting careers. Philip, the owner of the club, has a team of credible coaches in these Aquatic sports. On top of building the skills, the coaches also molded the characters and values in these young athletes - self-discipline, self-motivation, self-directed learning, and more. Personally, being acquainted with these sports has also brought me many valuable lessons and insights into allowing my children's interests and potentials to lead their future.

Philip and his team stay committed to their promises to parents and athletes even through the turbulent years of unexpected changes of a fixed training pool. Now, the home of Speediswim's aquatic sports is located at the German European School of Singapore. We are thankful for the indoor pool as training is never affected by the weather.

If your child has completed the learn-to-swim program, you can consider going for a trial in Speediswim. The club offers a range of extensions after the learn-to-swim program - competitive swimming, artistic swimming, and water polo.

All the best in your search for your child's potentials!

Have been with them for years moving from Woodlands Sports School to Bukit Merah Sports Lifestyle Centre then Orchid Country Club, yet I stick to them for their professionalism and my kids always love their lessons with their coach even we need to move along with them and longer traveling time. Hope my twin finish up LTS soon then they can decide what path they love to continue with Speediswim 🙂

When swimming classes resume last year in July 2020, due to adhering to safe management measures implemented, I can no longer be close up to watch my daughter Rui Lin swim as she trained. Watching from afar instead gave me a new experience of an overview and appreciating each glide as she executes each stroke.

I can’t help but think back how much she had learnt and still learning since she started with SpeediSwim’s Learn-To-Swim (LTS) Level 1 in Oct 2017 when she was 7 years old. She was a non-swimmer with no foundation whatsoever.

She has learnt under strict expectations yet friendly approaches of the coaches. I had never missed any of her sessions and I observed all her coaches never gave up correcting and improving her. Regardless breathing, postures, strokes, timing & co-ordinations, as long as it is something that can be improved, the coaches will explain and improve her. I never imagine she will tell me her one of her favorite strokes is the butterfly stroke.

After completing all levels of LTS in Sept 2020, she has since decided to embark onto SpeediSwim’s competitive swim training since Oct 2020 and still ongoing.
She even told me she wants to get coaching certificates to become a swimming coach in the future.

Thank you to the SpeediSwim team from founder, staffs, coaches, for your warmth & friendliness in ensuring a conducive learning environment that allows Rui Lin to look forward to continue to learn.

How to Choose the Best Swimming Option for Your Child

Start with practical factors that affect regular attendance like location and travel time. Next, match the class type to your child’s age and temperament. Some schools specialise in babies and toddlers, others in stroke development or competitive pathways.

Consider class size and teaching approach. If your child is nervous, look for smaller groups or private lessons that focus on confidence-building. Check coach qualifications and whether the school highlights water safety and supervision.

Compare total costs, including deposits, enrolment fees, equipment and makeup lesson policies. Finally, review scheduling options so lessons fit your family’s routine. The best option is usually the one that suits your child’s pace and keeps them comfortable in the water.
