Dedicated Swim Coaches Accredited by the Singapore Swimming Association

When it comes to swimming lessons, there’s one thing more important than everything from the price to the location, and that’s the swim coach. Whether you’re booking lessons for your child or for yourself, you need a swim coach that’s willing to put in the work to develop your skills in a fun, friendly, safe and encouraging environment.

At Odysseus Aquatics, we’re inspired by the iconic courage, intelligence and leadership of the Greek hero Odysseus, and it’s our mission to pass on these traits to every student we teach. We value the process of learning itself, and how something as simple as improving your skills in the water can help you live a happy and healthy life. Being certified by the Singapore Swimming Association, you can rest assured that your child is in safe hands.

Head coach: Nian

Coach Nian is a passionate and enthusiastic swim coach who takes delight in helping children learn not only how to swim but also how to have fun in the process. Even the cheekiest of kids will be giving him their full attention, while those who are still fearful of the water will be soothed by his steady encouragement.

Coach Nian is accredited by the Singapore Swimming Association and has worked with hundreds of kids, many of whom were too scared to enter the water when they started the program. Before long, almost all of these children grew into strong, safe swimmers who love to spend time in the water, with some even progressing into competition.

Part of Nian’s ability as a swim coach comes from his own experience as a father of three kids, each of whom have taught him how to understand and communicate with young students no matter their age, background or personality. After all, swimming lessons should be anything but boring!
