FAQ

Common Hougang lesson questions

How much do lessons at Hougang cost?

Kids groups start at $120 a month, with the SwimSafer curriculum included. Adult groups are from $320 for an eight-lesson course. Private and semi-private start at $360 a month for one swimmer. We send a real number once we know what you need.

What is the free starter kit?

Pay for your child's first two months and they get the full SSA kit free: mesh bag, goggles, kickboard, backfloat, hand paddles and swim cap, worth $120. New students only, one kit per child, while stocks last.

Can my child start as a complete beginner?

Every child starts as a beginner. The early lessons build water confidence and safe pool habits before any stroke work. Some children settle in within minutes, others need a few sessions to feel at home in a new place, and both are completely normal. All our coaches are experienced with first-timers.

What age can my child start lessons?

Our SwimSafer kids classes start from age 5. We do run classes for younger children too, so if yours isn't quite 5 yet, just let us know.

Do you run SwimSafer at Hougang?

Yes. SwimSafer is built into our kids' classes, not a separate programme. Our coaches run all six stages: 1, 2, 3 and Bronze, Silver, Gold. By Primary 3, SwimSafer is part of the school curriculum for every child in Singapore, so starting now means your child walks in already confident.

What days and times are classes?

We run classes through the week and on weekends, but the timetable changes constantly and popular slots fill up fast. Tell us the days and times that suit you and we'll come back with what's available at Hougang.

How do I pay?

After your slot is confirmed on WhatsApp, the coordinator sends you a payment link. Once that is settled, you are set to start lessons at your arranged timeslot.
