Dare to Dream
Swim Schooling is the brainchild of Singapore’s first Olympic Gold Medalist, Joseph Schooling.
Learn from the Champion
Joseph Schooling’s unique achievement and experiences have shaped the teaching practices of the swim school, and are embraced and adopted by our experienced and well-trained swimming coaches.
Nurturing Environment
Our progressive teaching styles are encouraging, positive and above all, we seek to provide a peace of mind for parents with our safe environment that ensures the best possible learning for the children.
Progressive Learning
The school runs a unique 8-stage progressive programme that teaches children skills from water confidence, lifesaving skill to champion’s technique for competitive swimming.
Character Building
We have a unique GO JOJO! Awards system that celebrates and honours the young sparks who seek to better themselves, and motivate others for the better.
