Swimming is one of the most popular forms of exercise out there. It’s cheap, simple to learn and you can reap lots of benefits!
Benefits of Swimming
There’re way too many benefits to swimming that I’m going to divide this section into 2 parts! The first part lists the benefits of signing up your kids for swimming, while the second highlights the rewards of learning swimming as an adult.
Benefits of Signing Up Your Child for Swimming
I’m sure you’ve been through swimming lessons at least once in your life. Either your parents signed you up, or you had mandatory swimming lessons as part of your school’s fitness programme.Â
Whether you enjoyed your lessons or not, you should not deny your kids of learning this fun and practical sport!Â
It’s an Amazing Way to Bond with Your BabiesÂ
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jh8oJCNG6A
If you have an infant, joining them in a swimming lesson is an excellent opportunity to have a 1-on-1 bonding. Even at such a tender age, your little ones are already forming neural connections around their brains! Whatever experience, be it positive or negative will significantly impact your child’s life!Â
Swimming with your infants is an excellent way for serve and return interactions. According to the Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University, these form of communications can be a significant boost to a child’s brain development. This ultimately affects their physical, mental and emotional well-being.Â
Builds Muscles and Motor SkillsÂ
Swimming is a great way to build muscles and strengthens many parts of a person’s body, including their brain, heart, lungs and legs. It’s also a fantastic opportunity for your child to develop coordination and balance.Â
Along with building muscles, time in the pool can help your baby improve their coordination and balance. While it can be a challenge to move those tiny arms and legs at the same time, any small coordinated movements can help develop your baby physically.Â
Builds Spatial Awareness
Swimming allows children to be conscious of their surroundings and their relationships to it. Spatial awareness is also linked to developing excellent social skills, greater creativity, as well as better linguistics and mathematical abilities.Â
Improves Your Child’s Confidence and Discipline
Swimming, like any other forms of exercises, releases endorphins and helps you child feel good about himself/herself. Additionally, through the swimming school’s systematic way of grading, your child will feel a sense of accomplishment each time he/she passes a level. Â
Swimming is also a great way to boost your kid’s endurance and resilience levels. Your child will learn to push on in tough situations. Think about how your child can recreate this scenario in other areas of his/her life, such as studies!
Benefits of Swimming for Adults
Some of the following benefits may apply to kids, but I believe these benefits would appear more enticing to you!
So let’s dive right in! No pun intended.
It’s the OG Full Body Workout!Â
Before other exercise trends were invented, swimming has always been a great source of strengthening the entire body.Â
Let’s take a look:
Arms – Regardless of which style you’re swimming in, the resistance of the water will help build up your biceps and triceps muscles. Sure, you won’t come out of the pool looking like Arnold Schwarzenegger, but you would develop lean muscles over time. Â
Shoulders – Many professional swimmers spot broad shoulders, thanks to the constant use of their upper body strengths.Â
Chest – Both the breaststroke and the butterfly style can build muscles around your pectorals. Â
Core – Your abs are put to work when you’re controlling your balance on the water. One such example is the action of kicking your legs up and down repeatedly. This movement will directly engage your core muscles.Â
Legs – Your legs play a vital role in propelling you forward, especially in the frog-style. Constant resistance contact with the water will result in muscle build-up around your leg area.Â
Glutes – The use of your legs in kicking and paddling will also directly have an impact on your glutes.Â
Back – Your back, especially the lower part, is essential to maintain your form. When that happens, those muscles surrounding that area will be activated. The butterfly style can also help activate your latissimus dorsi in your back, creating the famous “V-shaped” back.Â
Respiratory System – Swimming is a cardiovascular activity that helps build up your lung capacity and efficiency. It also strengthens the heart and facilitates better blood circulation around your body. For weight watchers, swimming can also help you burn lots of calories and fat! Â
Low Impact Exercise
Unlike land sports, you’re able to exercise without putting any pressure on your joints, due to the buoyancy of the waters.
It’s the Gateway to Other Fun Sports!
What do wakeboarding, sailing, water polo, canoeing, kite surfing, jet skiing and other fun activities have in common?Â
Knowing how to swim is crucial to fully enjoy these sports! If you’re participating in competitions, such as the Iron Man Triathlons, you need to be an excellent swimmer to do well!Â
Improves Mental and Emotional Well-Being
Earlier, I talked about how the release of endorphins in exercise can help us feel good about ourselves. The sensation of water massaging on our bodies can also induce relaxation in us.Â
Additionally, swimming also help sharpens your mind and reduce the chances of dementia and cognitive decline.Â
Popular Trends in Swimming
The sport and business of swimming are continuously evolving to suit our survival, social and emotional needs.Â
Relevant authorities, upon witnessing several drowning incidents in pools, have also created programmes that will help swimmers of all ages to develop water survival skills.Â
To generate more revenue, swimming schools are also innovating new courses that will entice swim enthusiasts.Â
Check out if any of these trends interest you!Â
Open Water SwimmingÂ
Open water swimming refers to swimming in uncontrolled bodies of water such as seas, lakes and oceans. Whether it’s for a triathlon training or gaining a fitter body, this carefully-planned course can take your swimming game to a whole new level! Â
However, you would need some fundamental swimming skills to qualify for most open water courses.Â
SwimSaferÂ
Introduced by National Water Safety Council (NWSC) in 2010, the SwimSafer programme is designed to help swimmers:Â
- Improve their swimming techniques.
- Equip themselves with water survival skills and avoid drowning incidents.Â
According to MyActiveSg, the SwimSafer 2.0 programme consists of the following modules:
- Entries and Exits
- Sculling and Body Orientation
- Underwater Skills
- Movement/Swimming/Strokes
- Survival Skills
- Rescue SkillsÂ
Platform Diving and Plunge-In Courses
Want to enter the pool in style? Some swimming academies offer you a chance to learn how to dive from the platform, or just plunge-in from any sides of the pool!Â
Apps Where You Can Learn Swimming Yourself!
SwimtoFly, a fitness academy in Singapore, has developed an app where you can learn swimming techniques for free! Of course, if you’re enjoying the app, you can also consider signing up for a proper course where you can receive appropriate guidance and stroke corrections!Â
Mermaid Courses and PartiesÂ
Mermaiding has several benefits, both physically and emotionally for ladies. Besides working on the upper body strength and endurance, gowning on the mermaid tail can also induce self-confidence.Â
Mermaid schools can also organise parties and photoshoots where you can enjoy a day of being the goddess of the waters!
Swimming Instructor Courses
Swimming academies that wish to expand their manpower or businesses may also offer classes for potential swim instructors. Be sure to check out the accreditation that you’ll receive upon completing the course. Â
Lifesaving and First Aid CoursesÂ
These courses can help students become more conscious swimmers who can rescue someone’s life. These are definitely valuable skills which you can use even when you’re not swimming!Â
Tips to Choose a Swimming School
Whether you’re choosing a school for your kid or learning as an adult, the following pieces of advice are evergreen. They should be considered before you sign your cheque.Â
Instructor’s QualificationsÂ
The swimming instructor must have a qualification approved by relevant sports authorities. Any swimming teacher that is registered with the National Registry of Coaches (NROC) can give you peace of mind. This organisation has one of the strictest pre-requisites handed out to prospective swim coaches in Singapore.Â
To be registered with NROC, the candidate must go through:
- An integrated swimming programme
- A lifesaving courseÂ
- A basic sports science courseÂ
- An AED-certified first aid course
Other organisations that offer recognised certifications locally are Swimming Teacher’s Association (STA) and AUSTswim. Do note that teachers with these 2 qualifications can only conduct classes in private pools, such as condominiums. Â
Safety PracticesÂ
Swimming schools with SwimSafer and Lifesaving programmes would place safety at its paramount.Â
If the school doesn’t offer any of these programmes, don’t panic. Find out from the instructors how can they ensure that you or your kid’s safety is guaranteed at all times.Â
Ideally, you should head down and observe how the instructors handle the students to create a safe and fun class for all.Â
Seek for a Trial Class
While it’s essential to observe, you should request a trial class for you or your kid.Â
Experiencing the swimming class first-hand will allow you to find out if you’re comfortable with the lesson structure. Make sure you’re able to grasp your instructor’s method of communication and catch up with the rest of the students. If you’re not able to, time to find another school!Â
If your kid’s attending the class, factor his/her opinion into your decision making. Your child needs to be in an environment where he/she feels happy and excited to learn. Â
Training Equipment
Make sure that the school provides an adequate supply of kickboards, safety floats and pull buoys for training. They are essential during classes, especially for novice swimmers.Â
Swimming Pool FactorsÂ
If you or your kid have sensitive skin, choose a class that is conducted in a salt-chlorinated pool. If the temperature of the waters scares you a little, consider a class in a pool with indoor heating.Â
You should also consider whether the pool is indoor or outdoor. The former can ensure that lessons will carry on, regardless of weather conditions. If the class is conducted at an outdoor pool, find out what’s the school’s approach to weather-affected lessons. Their arrangement should be something that sits well for you and your kid. Â
Crowds
Pools on peak periods, such as the weekends can be filled with a number of swimming classes from different schools. This could be an obstruction to your learning. If that’s a concern for you or your kid, choose a non-weekend timeslot.
Special Needs Friendly Classes
If you or your kid has any health or developmental conditions, you need to find a school that caters to learners with special needs.
Special needs classes can provide a safe and conducive place to motivate you along your swimmer’s journey!

Review 1 | “As someone who has been swimming both recreationally and competitively for over 20 years, I have to say, what Christian is doing here is amazing. A very skilled teacher. You can actually feel how relaxed he makes you just by watching his videos, and I believe anyone can learn to swim from this. From kids to adults, even you’ve had fear of the water. People around the world will enjoy life more and be safer knowing how to swim because of him.” |

Facilities are suitable too.” |
Review 2 | “I was pleased by the quality of customer service provided by state swim. As soon as you walk in you’re greeted with smiling faces! As for their pool, I was surprised to see that they use such quality lane ropes as good as those you’d find in competition pools. A definite 5 star from me.” |

Review 1 | “My little one has been learning here since she is 9 months old. Teacher Shana is super awesome and my girl always looks forward to her class. Fun songs during lessons to capture their attention when young and fun activities as well! I can see my little one learning steadily throughout the different levels and it’s great! Flexible makeup policies here especially for kids who tend to get sick easily. Thumbs up and definitely money well spent!” |
Review 2 | “When thinking about starting a little one out with swimming there really isn’t going past Marsden Swim School. We’ve tried others in Singapore and you just don’t get the same balance between top professionalism and a warm and friendly approach that you get from Sam and his team. Top-notch, top marks from us and our little one couldn’t be happier.” |
Review 3 | “Coach Arnaud is the master of managing a group of young children – maintaining the magical balance between having fun and learning new technical skills. He keeps them interested and motivated and somehow manages to give each child in the class personalised attention too. (Our son has been with Marsden from age 2 and is currently 4.5.) My husband and I decided we needed to go back to school, and our strokes are improving too with Coach Arnaud’s help!” |

Review 1 | “I would like to commend Coach Kenny for being extremely patient in guiding my son, who is trying to overcome his fear of deep waters. Coach Kenny has been encouraging him along and I am very appreciative of his efforts. Thank you for your guidance ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐” |
Review 2 | “My 2 children join the class with fear of water. But now they enjoy it so much. The lessons are interesting & the coaches are patient & fun too.👍☺” |
Review 3 | “Haydn started his swimming lesson with Pacific Swim approximately 1.5 years ago. He’s now in the advance beginner class. With Pacific Swim, not only that he can learn basics in swimming, he gets to learn other water survival skills too.
The instructors are very professional. I’m amazed how the instructors can handle such a big group of students yet still be able to give special attention to each of the students individually. This is important because each of the students are unique and not all of them can swim and learn at the same pace. Haydn’s safety in the pool is my upmost priority. With Pacific Swim, I’m convinced and assured that he’s always in the good hand. Besides the team of instructors, I can see 1-2 life guards who is always on duty. Pacific Swim has an online portal too. It’s very useful for busy parents who wants to keep track of their kids progress and achievement, only with just few clicks! We strongly recommend Pacific Swim to all parents who wants the best in swimming for their kids. The fees are very affordable too.” |

Reviews 1 | “Wonderful coaches! I can now swim for short distances underwater and have gained confidence as a swimmer. I am now floating on my back by myself.” – Lionel Guo Weiliang |
Review 2 | ”I tried the whole December holiday to get my 5-year-old daughter comfortable in the water without the use of a floating device. I even went ahead and signed her up for 9 swimming lessons with other instructors but had no luck. It was very incredible how the instructors at Oyougu had my daughter put her face in the water after spending 15 minutes with her during her first lesson and had her start swimming after the 3rd lesson. I strongly recommend Oyougu to everyone.” -Raj Sugumal |
Review 3 | “My children have been attending swimming classes at Oyougu for 2 months now. We love the class sizes and how students are grouped according to ability. The program has given my children great confidence and great survival skills. Coaches are wonderful, approachable, and encouraging. I particularly love the way they make swimming fun without the need to compromise on techniques. We have already made wonderful friends from swimming classes.” – Wendy Yao Wai Yen |
