How a swimming course actually works
A swimming course is different from booking a few random lessons. A course follows a sequence of skills, so each lesson builds on the last one and you can see where you are heading. At Swim2u, most programmes are sold as packages of 4 lessons, and learners simply continue package by package until they reach their goal.
- Tell us who is learning and what they can do today. Age, current ability and any fear of water decide where the first lesson starts.
- Pick a format. 1-to-1, a group of 2, or a group of 3 or more. Private is faster per lesson; groups cost less per person. See private vs group swimming lessons.
- Choose a pool and timeslot. Swim2u teaches at public swimming complexes across Singapore and at condominium pools.
- Progress through the skill ladder. Water comfort, floating, breathing, kicking, strokes, then distance and safety skills.
- Review after each package. Your coach tells you what has been achieved and what the next 4 lessons should focus on.
