The backbone of every swim school lies in its curriculum, founded upon the principles of its teaching philosophies, together with a sound, and progressive teaching syllabus. At Aquatics In Motion, we believe and commit our teaching practices to the key areas of progression of skills, and the well-being of the learner.

In the critical aspects of personal water safety and swimming strokes know-how, the children’s multi-stage swim programme delivers the necessary broader exposure of swimming essential skills, in a single, complete approach for swim learning.

In 2007, the National Water Safety Council (NWSC) was tasked by the Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports (MCYS) to oversee water safety matters in Singapore. It was then, the initiative of the SwimSafer Curriculum was set up to be the national water safety programme in July 2010. This certification programme consists of progressive stages in learning and evaluations.

The programme was later reviewed in 2016 to 2017. Like its predecessor, the new SwimSafer 2.0 is an enhanced version with revised syllabus and assessments to broaden the knowledge of water safety and challenge the abilities of the children’s swim skills.

Being an affiliated member of Singapore Swimming Association (SSA), with registered coaches with Sport Singapore and ActiveSG through the National Registry of Coaches (NROC), Aquatics In Motion’s goal is to help uphold and raise the swimming proficiency and the level of water-safety standards in Singapore.

In addition to local affiliations, our swim school also seeks to bring in best practices drawn from active participation and affiliation to leading international swim teaching organisations such as the Australian Swim Schools Association and the International Swim Schools Association. We take pride in providing trauma-free infant swim programmes that are founded upon emotional success leading skill improvements.

Swimming is a life skill which no one can take it away from you. As the saying goes: ‘Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.’

Here at our swim school, we focus on teaching the important skills that can help you and your child enjoy your next holiday trip!

Overcoming water-phobia, developing water safety knowledge and improving survival skills are some of the things that we will focus on during lessons.

Research conducted by Griffith University, Australia (view published paper here) on 7000 children below the age of 5, suggests that exposing them to early water familiarisation and exploration shows improvement in their physical development. They also demonstrated better social interaction skills when placed in group classes.

By starting your child early with us in our baby and toddler swimming programme, your little ones are able to be acquainted with water much earlier, which gives them a head start in their overall cognitive development.

The key difference between private and group swim classes is that private classes provide more focused attention and aids in solving specific learning challenges faced by the learners quickly. While group classes on the other hand promotes social interaction and competitive mindset amongst peers during learning.

Private swimming lessons on the other hand, can be conducted in both a public pool or a private condominium pool. So long as the coach holds a current usage permit license issued by Sport Singapore that allows him/her to conduct lessons in a public swimming complex.
