How much are swimming lessons in Singapore?

At Penguin Swim School, group lessons start from SGD 180 per 4 sessions, and 1-to-1 private lessons go up to SGD 400–420 per 4 sessions, depending on class size and format.

What is included in the price?

Every package includes a certified coach, complimentary Penguin Care+ personal accident insurance, and structured progress along the SwimSafer pathway.

Do you offer a trial lesson?

Yes. Trial lessons are available for private swimming lessons, priced at a fraction of a regular session. Group lessons do not include a trial.

Why does a private lesson cost more than a group lesson?

Private lessons give a swimmer a coach’s full, undivided attention, with a fully customised lesson plan and pace. This typically leads to faster progress, which is why it is priced higher than shared group formats.

Are there any other costs on top of lesson fees?

No hidden fees. Penguin Care+ insurance is already included, and SwimSafer registration (where applicable) is arranged as part of the programme.

Why Private Lessons Cost More — and When It's Worth It

Private swimming lessons cost more because a swimmer gets a coach's complete, undivided attention for the full session — the lesson plan, pace and corrections are built entirely around that one swimmer. This is especially worth the extra cost for nervous or anxious beginners, swimmers with tight or irregular schedules, and anyone aiming for fast, focused progress ahead of a goal like a SwimSafer test.
