Private Swimming Lessons at Jalan Besar Swimming Complex
PrivateSwimming.sg arranges private one-to-one and small-group swimming lessons at Jalan Besar Swimming Complex for toddlers, children, adults and ladies, subject to coach availability and pool access.
Private lessons give one learner, or a small group of siblings or friends with similar ability, a coach's full attention in this public ActiveSG pool. They suit nervous beginners, adults who prefer not to learn in a large class, and swimmers working on a specific stroke or goal. Before you pay, we confirm the coach, the pool area the lesson will use, the lesson time and the fee. Pool admission is paid separately to ActiveSG.
Who private lessons suit
- Beginners of any age who need time to build water confidence
- Adults who would rather not learn in a large group
- Children who progress better with one coach’s full attention
- Swimmers working on a specific stroke, fitness goal or SwimSafer preparation
One-to-one or small group
One-to-one lessons give the learner the coach’s full attention. A small private group suits siblings or friends of similar ability who want to learn together. We confirm the group size and fee with you before booking.
How we assign an instructor
Tell us the learner’s age, current ability, goals, preferred days and language. We then propose a coach whose experience fits the learner and confirm their availability at Jalan Besar. Requests for a female coach are welcome and depend on availability; lessons at a public pool take place alongside other pool users.
Admission and booking confirmation
Learners, and any accompanying adult who enters the pool area, pay ActiveSG admission separately from the lesson fee. Before payment we confirm the coach, lesson day and time, format, duration, fee and our cancellation policy. Public opening hours do not guarantee a lesson slot or teaching space, so please check current availability with us.
