Our Adult programmes have been developed based on the experiences of the many adults that have approached us. 

 

Our services are to help adults:

• Conquer their fear of the water

• Enjoy the water

• Learn basic water skills to understand and appreciate water

• Learn how to swim proper strokes 

• Improve their technique to swim more efficiently

• Do a low impact exercise to help with rehabilitation

• Learn water safety techniques

 

Overcoming Fear, Learning to Swim & Improving Technique

If you are an adult that can’t swim, you are not alone!

 

We have helped adults from all walks of life be more comfortable in the water. Quite often our students have had a traumatic experience with water that made them avoid lessons; or they didn't have access to lessons. 

​

Private Lessons:

Are you able to calmly keep your head submerged for at least 10.. maybe 5 seconds?

 

If not, then we'd suggest private lessons first as it's likely you just need to work somethings out; and you will struggle to keep up with the group lessons - and thus not learn anything.

​

Swimming is a low impact form of exercise that can help with rehabilitation from all sorts of injuries. We offer private lessons to help you with this.

 

Do let us know about your history of swimming, any significant swimming events that happened and your current motivation for learning; and your available days/times/locations so we can give you appropriate matches with our coaches. 

Learning to Swim & Improving Technique
For adults that have no fear of the water (able to calmly keep their head fully submerged for at least 10 seconds), we suggest the following group courses in this order. We offer favourable rates for Domestic Helpers and Full Time Students on all group classes.

​

• Basics - No water experience - learning breathing, floating and moving in the water without fear.

• Beginners - Ready to learn a basic front crawl. We will go through a series of kicking and arm drills. 

• Breaststroke - Learn proper breaststroke technique in addition to honing your front crawl and backstroke.

• Intermediate - Guided drills to help you improve your stroke.

 

Do keep in mind that the courses are kept short to suit the busy, working adult's schedule. You will be exposed to techniques and strategies to help you in the water. Just like any other sport, it takes time for your body to build neuromuscular adaptations; so if you want to improve, do expect that your coach asks you to take the same Beginners course several times.

If you are looking to further develop your swimming with regular sessions we welcome you to try out at our Fastlane Swimming Developmental Squad. Or if you are able to swim 100m on 2 minutes you can try out for our Fastlane Masters Squad. Please see our sister site www.swimmingfastlane.com for more details.
