Many parents ask us when their child can start swimming lessons. The short answer: there is a way in at almost every age. Babies can begin with parent-and-baby sessions, young children can learn one-to-one, and kids can join group classes from about age 4. Every child is different, so use this guide as a starting point, then WhatsApp us and we will chat about your child.
For infants, we run parent-and-baby sessions. Mum or dad is always in the water with the baby, and our certified coach guides you both. The aim is gentle: getting used to the water, at your baby's pace, in your own home, condo or apartment pool.
If your baby has any health concerns, please check with your doctor first. Please also check your condo's pool rules for visiting coaches.
Before the group-class age, private lessons are the way to start. One-to-one, our coach can go at your child's pace and let them settle in with the water. Lessons are at your own pool, on days you choose. This also suits young children who are nervous around new people.
Not sure which fits your child, parent-and-baby or private? Tell us their age on WhatsApp and we will suggest one.
Kids can join our kids group classes from about age 4. Children are grouped by ability, so they learn with friends at a similar level. They move through four stages: Splash, Float, Stroke and Swim. You can follow their progress on their e-Swim Passport.
Classes run at three branches:
It is not too late if your older child or teenager still cannot swim, or is not confident. We teach every level, from a first splash to all four strokes. Private lessons can suit older children who would rather learn one-to-one, and others enjoy a group. WhatsApp us your child's age and experience and we will suggest what fits.
For swimmers with autism, Down syndrome or other developmental or physical needs, see our special needs swimming lessons. These are private, at your pool, and adapted to the swimmer.
If you would like to learn too, you are welcome. Many of our adult students start from zero. Lessons go at your pace, starting with breathing and floating. See adult swimming lessons. We also have a ladies-only class in Putrajaya, with a woman coach.
There is no single “right” age. These are gentle things to look for, not rules:
They are happy being around water, or curious about it.
They can follow simple instructions, like “kick your legs” or “hold the wall”.
They are comfortable being with the coach for a short time.
They want to try, even if they are a little nervous.
If your child is not there yet, that is fine. Scared of water? Beginners start with water confidence, and the coach goes at your child's pace.

BabiesA swim nappy, towels and a change of clothes. Parents bring their own swimwear.
KidsSwimwear, goggles, a swim cap, a towel and a water bottle.
Lessons teach swimming skills and water safety, but they do not make a child “drown-proof”. Always supervise children near any water, whether it is a pool, a bathtub or a bucket. A swimming lesson never replaces an adult watching.

Tiada satu umur yang sesuai untuk semua anak. Setiap anak berbeza, jadi anda boleh mula ikut kesediaan anak.
Tanda anak mungkin sudah sedia: dia selesa dengan air dan boleh ikut arahan mudah. Tetapi ini panduan sahaja, bukan peraturan.
Peringatan keselamatan: sentiasa awasi kanak-kanak berhampiran air. Kelas renang tidak menggantikan pengawasan orang dewasa.
WhatsApp kami di +6012-670 7850 dengan umur anak dan kawasan anda, dan kami akan cadangkan kelas yang sesuai.
