Hi mummies (& daddies) of CCPS girls. I’d like to seek some advice from those whose children are currently in the school.
May I know if CCPS has swimming lessons for P1/2 girls? My daughter will be going to CCPS next year (barring any unforeseen balloting) and I was thinking of starting her on swimming lessons now but if the school is going to do it, I thought I might as well leave it to them next year.
Appreciate any replies, thanks. -
There is no swimming lesson for P1 girls, in CCPS school.
But many learn on their own, outside.
Some go to Geylang East swimming complex nearby weekly, to learn basic swimming strokes.
School fees reasonable, taught by coaches at Geylang swimming complex.
Around $70 per month (for 4 lessons)
There is one swimming class for beginners, on Friday 6.45 pm, at this swimming complex.
Other classes include Sat and Sun weekend.
may call up Geylang East swimming pool, to find out more detail.
may ask for a few instructors' timing : see which timing / day fit your schedule.

Noticed also that My friends' daughters grow up taller quite fast, after they learn swimming.
(plus they also eat well)
Swimming is a very good form of Sports & exercise.
It is good to start her early. -
Thank you phtthp!
You are right, I should start her now since the school will not be sending them for lessons.
:lovesite:
I asked my ex classmates who were from ccps but nobody bothered to give me an answer. Perhaps they don't have daughters there, I don't know. -
No swimming for CCPS P1 and P2. At P3, there is a once a week swimming lesson open to all. Pay to join. Learn to swim level. Nothing at P4.
My eldest joined that at P3. She still could not swim in spite of going through the whole course (shows you the standard). I coached her personally thereafter.
This year, my second just finished the course. She went in with free, breast and thread water. Was placed in the best group. Don’t think she learnt anything new.
They are both now at St. Andrews Competitive Swimming. Both are water safe now. Free, fly, breast, back, thread water. If you are keen to start your child early, suggest you try it. Serious coaches. Anyone can join. The pool is quite near CCPS area.
You will be surprised at some of the kids there. Half the size of my kids and doing 200m up and down for 2 hours flat. No joke. -
The swimming lessons at Geylang East swimming pool are for Recreation only.
swimming at st Andrew Competitive swimming pool -
can girls go there learn ? -
Yes. Girls can join. In fact, the head coach wants more girls especially at the Competitive level. He said too many boys, presumably from St Andrews. He wants girls so that he can compete in local competitions. Probably his KPI to keep winning medals.
How it works is this. If your child can’t swim, he/she joins the Learn to Swim once a week session on Sat 4pm or 5pm slot. When he/she can swim 25 m free and breast, then the child can opt to join Competitive. The training is 5 days a week, 7-9 pm. The coach says their life is basically to study, swim and sleep. Nothing else. Maybe can add in piano.
It needs commitment and discipline. Quite tough training. Maciam like BMT. Alot of shouting, swim up down up down, push ups. But results quite amazing. Never knew K1 and K2 kids can swim so well.
My girls go 3 nights a week only. Agreed separately with head coach already. Else too siong…haha -
Hi tyeogh, I just pm u
Besides breast stroke, free style, back stroke -
does St Andrew village pool instructor Trainer also teach butterfly stroke ? -
Hi phtthp,
I typing on my mobile. Pai seh. Can’t really see pm.
Yes, the Competitive coach taught both my girls butterfly.
Alternatively, the child can learn it at the Once a week session too (Advance lane, not Beginner), but seriously, how much can one learn once a week? The progress v slow lor.
