Serangoon Swimming Complex: Find a Swimming Coach

What to ask a swimming coach

• Experience: how long they have taught learners of this age and level, and whether they have taught at a public pool like this one.
• Current qualifications: which teaching certificate they hold, who issued it and when it expires.
• First aid: whether their first-aid and CPR certification is current.
• Lesson plan: what they will work on in the first few lessons and how they will tell you about progress.
• Practical arrangements: meeting point, lesson length, what happens in bad weather and the make-up policy.

Qualifications we check

Qualifications differ between coaches, so we do not list one set of credentials for everyone. Before the first lesson, Swim2u confirms the assigned coach’s current teaching qualification and first-aid status. Ask us for these details and we will share them.

Safeguarding and communication

Parents and carers are welcome to watch from the poolside where the pool allows it. Tell us about any communication, sensory or medical needs when you enquire, so we can suggest a coach who suits the learner. Coaches follow the lifeguards’ and facility’s instructions at all times.

Matching a coach to the learner

We match on age, current ability, goals (such as water confidence, a first stroke, SwimSafer preparation or technique) and the days you can attend. A female coach can be requested, subject to availability. Because lessons take place in a public pool, women-only surroundings cannot be arranged.
