Swimming Lessons at Geylang East
Coaching at Geylang East Swimming Complex for learners from Aljunied, Geylang, Sims, MacPherson and Ubi.
Geylang East Swimming Complex is a public pool close to Aljunied MRT on the East-West Line, which makes it one of the easier pools in the east to reach by train. We arrange private and small-group lessons here when a coach, pool area and timeslot are available.

Geylang East Swimming Complex is at 601 Aljunied Avenue 1, Singapore 389862, per its ActiveSG facility page. Learners from Aljunied, Geylang, Sims, MacPherson and Ubi come here, and since Kallang Basin pool closed in September 2025, ActiveSG has named Geylang East as one of the nearby alternatives (Sport Singapore).
Why learners choose it
- A wide catchment. Neighbours from different estates can sometimes share a small-group lesson.
- Public admission. Lessons happen alongside other swimmers, so the coach works within the space available. Tell us if the learner needs a quieter setting and we will discuss options.
- Good for adults after work. Ask about evening slots; availability depends on coaches and the facility’s hours.
Getting there
Aljunied MRT (East-West Line) is the usual rail option for this area, but check the walking route on a journey planner before your first visit. If driving, confirm parking beforehand.

Programmes: toddlers (2 to 4, 30 minutes), kids (5 to 11, 45 minutes) and adults (12 and above, 45 minutes). All packages are four lessons; see the fees page.
Your first lesson
Arrive ten minutes early. Bring swimwear, goggles, towel, sunscreen, a drink and a lock if you want a locker. Pool entry is paid separately unless we say otherwise. The coach assesses entry, breathing and floating, then sets targets. The pool clears for lightning and follows lifeguard instructions. Check the official page for hours and closures.
Geylang East FAQs
I can swim a little. Is four lessons worth it?
Yes, with a clear goal such as smoother freestyle breathing or continuous laps.
I used to swim at Kallang Basin. Can I continue here?
Yes, subject to coach availability.
Private or group for my child?
Private suits hesitant beginners; groups suit confident children of similar ability. See private lessons.
Is a female coach available?
You can request one; see ladies lessons.
WhatsApp us or use the enquiry form. Lessons do not make anyone drown-proof; children need adult supervision outside class.
