Swimming lessons at Bishan Swimming Complex
Swimming lessons at Bishan Swimming Complex may be suitable for children, adults, nervous beginners and swimmers working on technique, subject to coach and pool availability.
Choosing a lesson format
Private lessons give one learner the coach’s full attention and often suit anxious beginners or technique correction. A pair can work well for siblings, couples or friends of similar ability. Small groups may cost less per learner but provide less individual correction.
Compare the published swimming lesson fees before deciding. Pool admission is normally separate from coaching charges.
