Swimming Lessons at CCAB (MOE Evans)
Tell us the learner’s age, ability, goals and preferred times. We will confirm whether CCAB or a nearby alternative is the right venue.
The MOE Evans facilities on Evans Road, linked to the Ministry of Education’s Co-Curricular Activities Branch (CCAB), sit close to the Singapore Botanic Gardens. Access for the public is more limited than at a typical neighbourhood pool, so we check suitability case by case.

MOE (Evans) is not a typical neighbourhood pool. It sits at 21 Evans Road, Singapore 259366, in the Bukit Timah and Botanic Gardens area, and its use is closely tied to school and co-curricular activity. This page is honest about that, so you know what is and is not realistic before you enquire.
What the venue offers
ActiveSG lists a separate MOE (Evans) Swimming Complex at the same address with one competition pool and one teaching pool (ActiveSG: MOE Evans Swimming Complex). The related outdoor facilities listing notes that outdoor facilities may close in inclement weather for safety. Public sessions appear to be limited compared with ordinary ActiveSG pools, so always check the official pages for current access before travelling.
Who this suits
Families around Holland, Bukit Timah, Tanglin and Newton who want a central pool, and learners who can fit lessons into the limited sessions available. Many households nearby also have condominium pools, so condo swimming lessons can be the more practical option. We would rather tell you that up front than book a slot that cannot be sustained.
Programmes
- Toddlers, ages 2 to 4, 30 minutes
- Kids, ages 5 to 11, 45 minutes, including SwimSafer preparation
- Adults, ages 12 and above, 45 minutes
- Special-needs lessons, after a suitability discussion
All packages are four lessons. Because access hours are restricted, a fixed-time private lesson is usually easier to arrange than an open group. Prices are on the fees page.
Getting there
The address is 21 Evans Road. Please check how check-in works at the facility and arrive 10 to 15 minutes early.
What a first lesson looks like
The coach observes water confidence, breathing and floating, then agrees realistic goals for the four lessons. Bring swimwear, goggles, a towel, water and a change of clothes.
MOE Evans FAQs
Can the public book external coaching here?
Not automatically. We confirm the facility’s current rules before accepting any booking.
What if the pool is closed for a school event?
We would offer a make-up or an alternative pool, as agreed in your booking terms before payment.
My child swims in school. Can lessons help?
Yes. The coach can target the skills your child is struggling with, such as breathing rhythm or stroke timing.
Is a condo pool a better choice?
Often, if your management allows external coaches, because there is no commute and fewer access limits.
WhatsApp us or use the enquiry form. Swimming lessons do not make anyone drown-proof; children need adult supervision outside class.
