Factors That Affect the Cost of Kids’ Swimming Lessons

1. Class Size

• Smaller classes mean more personalised attention but usually cost more.

• At Isplash, group sizes are capped to ensure every child receives individual guidance.

2. Location

• Popular venues like Jurong West Swimming Complex, Sengkang Swimming Complex, and Choa Chu Kang Swimming Complex offer excellent value, especially with their plus fun facilities like slides, water playgrounds, and lazy rivers! (Checkout on our recommendations for the best swimming pools in Singapore) 

• Condo lessons provide convenience and privacy but may cost more since coaches travel for a single class.

3. Premium Pool Environment

• Lessons conducted in private heated pools or all-weather covered pools often come at a premium price.

• These facilities have higher operational costs for heating, filtration, and weatherproofing, but they provide year-round comfort and uninterrupted lessons even during bad weather.

4. Coach Qualifications

• All Isplash coaches are certified swimming instructors (NROC-registered, SwimSafer-certified, AustSwim and/or Singapore Swimming Teachers Association) and hold compulsory first aid certifications — ensuring safety and professionalism.

5. Lesson Duration & Frequency

• Most kids attend once a week, but extra sessions can be arranged (subject to availability) for faster progress.

• Isplash also offers June and December Holiday Intensive Swimming Lessons (6 sessions in 2 weeks) for students who want accelerated learning.
