Every lesson is personalized to each student’s pace and abilities where we not only want to teach the skills, but we want to cultivate the joy of swimming. To ensure the currency and relevance of our syllabus, our coaches regularly review and fine-tune its contents and pedagogies used to coach and engage our students. Furthermore, all our students are fully prepared for SwimSafer tests and certifications.

Our coaches will be teaching and tracking student's progress based on this syllabus.

They will also be updating in the online system which parents will be able to log in

to to check their children's progress.

TSR Tests & Certification

These are internal test and are conducted termly for all TSR students from Level 4 onwards.

The tests are an assessment and affirmation of our students' swimming progress.

Being able to participate in the swim test alongside other students also gives them motivation to

Certificates will be awarded when students pass their tests.
