Who this page is for
The Upper Changi area brings together a university campus, the offices of Changi Business Park, the Singapore Expo, and HDB estates in Simei and Tampines East. It is served by Upper Changi MRT on the Downtown Line and Expo MRT, an interchange for the Downtown and East-West lines, with Simei and Tampines East stations close by. If you study, teach or work here, or live in one of the surrounding estates, this page explains how we can help you learn to swim nearby.
To be clear: this is not a university programme, and we do not run lessons on any campus. Lessons take place at public swimming pools in the east, or at a private pool only where you already have permission to use it for coaching. We confirm the exact pool with you before payment.
Which pool makes sense?
For most people in this area, the realistic choices are public pools in the surrounding eastern towns. Depending on where you live and your timetable, that could mean a pool in Tampines, a short ride away on the Downtown Line, or in Pasir Ris further along the East-West Line. Students living on or near campus often prefer the nearest option on a weekday; staff and Changi Business Park employees often prefer a pool on their way home. Tell us your situation and we will suggest one.
Lessons that suit students and young professionals
Complete beginners
Many international students and adults arrive in Singapore never having had the chance to learn. Our adult swimming lessons start from breathing, floating and standing up safely, with no assumptions about previous experience.
Swimmers who want to get fitter
If you can swim but want to complete continuous laps for fitness, technique work on breathing and body position makes the biggest difference. Focused private lessons are efficient for this.
Learning with friends
Friends, housemates or colleagues at a similar level can share a coach and reduce the per-person cost.
Women who prefer a female coach
Ask about our ladies’ swimming lessons; matching depends on availability.
Families in Simei and Tampines East
Children can join toddler lessons (ages 2 to 4) or kids’ lessons (ages 5 to 11), including work on SwimSafer skills.
