Let me introduce myself. I am Kes, and all my young students address me as Uncle Kes.
I started my career as a swimming instructor in 1994. I accumulated my vast experience by teaching in various places - private clubs, private pools, public pools and for both primary and secondary schools and the public. Both adults and children of all ages have acquired swimming and live saving skill under my tutorship.
Meeting hundreds of people in my teaching career has made me understood that each and everyone has their own needs and own pace of learning. With constant encouragement and attention into every individual needs, I have changed many in their learning attitude (especially those forced to learn). The fun, joy and the achievement they made have made them look forward to every swimming lesson.
My patience and friendly approach not only gain trust among the parents, but most importantly my students.

Swimming Lessons for Kids
The most important aspect of swimming for kids is confidence building. The children will first be introduced to a variety of basic exercises such as rhythmic breathing, breath controlling, floating, gliding etc. then they will move into the stroke phrase where they will learn how to kick, pull and finally coordinate the entire stroke. They will be taught the breaststroke first because it's easier for them to master it and the breaststroke will facilitate the learning of treading water at a later stage. Thereafter, they will be given exercises/drills to build up their swimming stamina. They will start learning the front crawl (a.k.a. freestyle) once they have completed learning the breaststroke and attained their Bronze Award. Children with fear of water (aquaphobia) may need individual coaching for the initial stages. Refer to fees structure lessons types.

Swimming Lessons for Adults
There are primarily two types of adults swimming learners: . Non-swimmers - Non-swimmers will be taught the breaststroke first as they float better in that body position. They will be introduced to a range of basic activities such as floating (front and back), gliding, proper breathing techniques, etc. before they move on to the stroke proper. It will take about 12 lessons* for a non-swimmer to learn the breaststroke.
(Equipment needed: kickboard and goggles) . Swimmers who wants to improve their stokes or learn new ones: Swimmers in this category can look forward to learning new strokes such as the front crawl (a.k.a. freestyle). They will also be corrected on their existing strokes so that they may swim efficiently and effortlessly. They will be taught to swim with minimum effort to obtain maximum propulsion. This will definitely make swimming more enjoyable! Such training can also help those who are preparing for biathlons/triathlons.
(Equipment needed: kickboard and goggles)
For those who appreciates privacy, personalised and private/small swimming classes are also available. Please refer to fees structure lessons types.
