LATEST VERSION (as at 6th October 2010)
We have compiled some of the most famous questions asked regarding our swimming class. However, you can always CONTACT US if you have enquiries.
I'm totally have zero knowledge in swimming, can I sign up?
That's the reason for swimming class, teach people from zero to hero :). There's no special requirements needed to sign up for class, passion and discipline will do.
When and how much to pay?
Ideally, full payment should be made during the 1st class. But, you can also opt to pay at least 60% on the 1st class and the balance by the 4th class. For more info on our fees structure and payment method, CLICK HERE!
Can I get discounts?
Sure.Bring more friends/families to sign up, we'll give you discount or free session. :)
What is the age limit to sign up?
For kids, recommended age is from 6 years. The reason to this is because we found that kids below 6 will take longer time to learn. This is the fact that some parents do not understand. However, for kids below 6, we'll conduct a free evaluation class, to see whether the kids is suitable to take up swimming class.
UPDATE: We do have kids class for 3-5 years old kids.
For adults, no best age to learn..the time is NOW!
Are kids class cheaper?
Sorry, the fees would be the same. In fact, it's harder to teach kids due to their short attention span we could get from them.
UPDATE: We have revised the fees structure, and yes, kids are now cheaper. :)
Who are considered as "KIDS"?
Kids - 7 to 12 years old
Adults - 13 and above (adult rates)
What to wear, can I just wear tracks, shorts, and t-shirt?
No, you have to wear proper swimming attire, with goggles and swim cap. This is to maintain pool cleanliness.
Why do we have to wear swim cap and goggle?
Besides to maintain pool cleanliness wearing a cap is to keep the hair out of your face and for better and smooth movement when you're in water. Wearing a goggle is to protect your eyes and to prevent sore eyes, especially if you happen to have sensitive eyes. However, it is also equally important for you not to become reliant on them. At times, we might need you to learn to swim without goggles for safety reasons e.g. if the case you accidentally fall in.
Besides the above, what else should I bring?
For beginners class, you should also bring your own kickboard. For Intermediate class (Freestyle), you might be needing a pull buoy and fin.
I'm wearing spectacles, will that be a problem?
Not at all. You can use high quality goggle with your contact lens. Or buy an optical goggle.
Class frequency?
Classes held maximum twice a week. One hour per session
UPDATE: Classes for 3-5 years old kids duration is 30 minutes, due to their short attention span.
UPDATE: If you want to speed up your learning process, you can make further arrangements to have your class to be conducted several times a week
Why can't it be more than 1 hour per lesson?
This is private class, where our attention is solely on you and/or your partner. And swimming might be little bit tiring for most beginners and from our experience, most students will get exhausted after one hour.
Course duration?
8 lessons, once a week (to be completed within 3 months)
8 lessons, twice a week (to be completed within 2 months)
12 lessons, once a week (to be completed within 4 months)
12 lessons, twice a week (to be completed within 2.5 months)
What if I'm late for class?
Let's be fair. Most of the time, we want everyone to be punctual. But to answer this question, let's see these examples for class which supposed to start at 8.00pm:
Case A: Instructors being late (Rarely happen)
Class start at 8.10pm, and will end at 9.10pm (1hour)
Case B: Students being late
Class start at 8.10pm, will end at 9.00pm. So have wasted 10mins of valuable learning time. Therefore everyone, try not to be late ya! :)
Language used during class?
Major language is Bahasa Melayu. But for certain technical terms, it'll be in English. However, we're also able to conduct class in English upon request.
What happen if it rains?
No class will be conducted during heavy rain and thunderstorm. If class already done halfway, we'll replace the remaining minutes during the next class
I'm on menstrual, can I swim?
Yes, you definitely can. For more info, kindly CONTACT US
Will the instructor be in the pool during lesson?
An absolute yes, no doubt. We're water bound instructors :)
How long does it takes for me to be able to swim?
Swimming is all about effort, practice and progress. We cannot give you an exact timeline as each student is different. But from our experience, if a student does not have water phobia and in good physical condition, within 12 sessions, he/she should be able to swim. We suggest you to take up our One On One class if you want to be able to swim faster, but again, it's subject to individual's progress.
I have asthma, can I learn to swim?
Swimming helps to enlarge your lung capacity and thus will improve your breathing. So, you can and should learn swimming.
What's the benefit of learn how to swim?
Many. Most importantly, it's for your safety. Secondly, swimming will add so much fun to your life. By not being able to swim, you'll miss lots of great pleasures and excitement with water activities. It's now time to join in. We'll help you with the phobia thing, if any.For the other many benefits, you'll find out after you learn how to swim. :)
Why should we take up swimming lessons with you?
We emphasize on personal coaching and small groups. By doing that, we can give our whole attention to a small number of students. As a result, better learning experience for you.
Secondly, we treat our students as our buddy. We're not only your instructor, but most importantly, we'll help you as a friend. As a friend teaching other friends, you won't feel too formal in class and able to performs better during drills. Record shows that it's true!
Thirdly, as a friend, we really want you to be able to swim. That's our goal. We monitor your progress and you're free to discuss with us your swimming problem, and how to overcome it. We will define a goal for you every lesson and after lesson we can further discuss your progress and what's the next plan would be.

It's a private pool, specially only for ladies and kids class and also a covered pool. Therefore, no men are allowed to be in the premise when class is on (Sorry to the hubbies and daddies out there)
