What a month of group lessons, or four private ones, really costs, school by school
One child, four weekly group lessons, at each school's regular price. Cheapest to priciest.
the school's own price as published worked out by us from its own figures, a "from" price, or the low end of a range
Read from each school's own fee page on 24 and 25 Sep 2026. 12 of the 32 prices were worked out by us from the school's own figures, and 7 are "from" prices or the low end of a range.
The 7 schools with their own heated or indoor pool charge S$159.14 to S$208 for a month of group lessons (middle S$174.40). The 12 that teach at public pools charge S$100 to S$130 (middle S$120). Not one public-pool school costs more than the cheapest own-pool school.
12 of the 32 schools charge exactly S$120 for a month of group lessons, and 19 charge between S$100 and S$130. The middle price across all 32 is S$125.50.
At the 7 of the 20 schools that publish both with a fixed price for each (fixed prices only), four private lessons cost 2.4 to 4 times a month of group lessons at the same school. On fixed prices only, four private lessons run S$300 to S$436. The middle of all 20 prices, the worked-out and "from" ones included, is S$360.
Per child, per lesson, the middle price is about S$90 for a private lesson, S$53 with two children, and S$40 with three. Beyond three it barely moves: a group of four or more is also about S$40.
At the 9 schools that publish both, a weekend group class costs 6% to 47% more than the same class on a weekday: the weekend price divided by the weekday price for the same bundle (a class, pack, term or month) at each school. Every weekday price is the one ranked.
Most schools bill four weekly lessons a month, but 5 don't say how many their monthly fee buys, 5 sell only by the term or pack (we worked out four lessons' worth from their own counts), and State Swim's month is a yearly average of about 4.3 lessons.
Swish Swimming and Swim Lab both come to S$174.40 a month, by different routes: Swish charges S$40 a class before GST, Swim Lab S$400 for a 10-lesson term before GST. Both work out to S$43.60 a lesson. It happens again with private lessons: Swish (S$85 before GST) and Marsden (S$92.65 with GST) both come to S$370.60 for four.
Singapore Swimming Academy (singaporeswimming.com), Singapore Swim School (Super Swim, singaporeswimschool.com), a second Singapore Swim School (swimmingsingapore.com, whose site didn't load) and LearnwithAweswim (singaporeswimlesson.com) are four different sites. We keep them apart by their web addresses throughout.
From each school's own fee page, read on 24 and 25 Sep 2026. Ratios are ranges across schools, never a multiple for one school.
One coach, one child, four lessons, at the ordinary coach's price. Cheapest to priciest.
the school's own price as published worked out by us from its own figures, a "from" price, or the low end of a range
8 of the 20 prices were worked out by us (mostly a per-lesson price times four) and 3 are "from" prices, so 11 of the 20 carry one or the other. FINS's lessons are 55 minutes; the next priciest school is S$436.

Everything each school publishes, side by side: group, private, two or three children sharing a coach, toddlers, adults, and what it costs to sign up. The first two columns are the comparisons above. Sharing prices are per child, for four lessons. An asterisk means we worked the figure out from the school's own numbers; a dash means the school doesn't list it.

110 rounds mixing who's cheaper, cheapest-of-three, guess-the-price, who-offers-this and higher-or-lower questions, each about businesses on the same price list; questions about 'from' prices say so; prices we worked out are never used. The middle in higher-or-lower questions counts every ranked price.
Never ranked, because they're for new customers, a limited time, or a longer commitment. Shown so you can see what a first month or a whole term might cost.

These schools publish prices, but something stopped us ranking them. If you run one of them and can point us to a current page, we'll add you.
| School | What it publishes | Why it isn't ranked |
|---|---|---|
| SwimJourney | Per 4 x 45 min: 1-to-1 S$300; 1-to-4 to 6 S$120 per child | Its page was last updated 28 May 2021 (the page's own date), more than two years ago. |
| Aquatics In Motion | Small group S$30 to S$40 a lesson per student; larger groups 'average' S$25 | Fee page dated March 2021, and it gives ranges and 'contact us', not a fee. |
| Little Swim School | S$385.20 a term (lesson count not stated) | Its own fee page still says prices include 7% GST. GST has been 9% since 1 Jan 2024, so we treated the list as out of date. |
| Elite Coach Singapore | Junior coach, 45 min: S$80 a session; S$750 for 10 | The single-session price is labelled 'Trial' on its swim page and 'Single session' on its rates page, and its terms say one-off sessions may cost S$10 more. What a regular buyer of four lessons pays isn't clear, and a 10-pack isn't divided down while a smaller option exists. |
| ElitePro Swim School | Private only. 1:1 S$400 or S$460 a month | The same page gives two different private prices. Its group price is ranked. |

Ranked at the non-member price, which anyone can pay without joining a club. Members pay S$320 a term (S$106.67 a month) and S$100 a private session.

Little Fishes' own group class: S$120 a month (a 12-lesson term, 4 a month). Friendly Dolphin per child per month: 1:1 S$360, 2 S$180, 3 S$160, 4 or 5 S$130, 6+ S$100.

No private prices. Its page code holds an older, hidden table; the table on screen is used. An early search found only a LessonPlan listing; its own site was found later, and the price is from its own site.

How much are swimming lessons for kids in Singapore? S$100 to S$208 a month of group lessons, across 32 schools.
Kids' swimming lessons in Singapore: a month of weekly group lessons costs S$100 to S$208 across 32 schools (middle S$125.50); four private one-to-one lessons cost S$300 to S$436 at fixed prices across 20 schools (middle of all 20 prices S$360). Every price read from each school's own page, verified 25 Sep 2026.
How much do swimming lessons for kids cost in Singapore?
A month of weekly group swimming lessons for a child costs S$100 to S$208 at the 32 Singapore swim schools that publish their prices, and S$120 a month is the most common fee (12 schools). Four private one-to-one lessons cost S$300 to S$436 at fixed prices, with the middle of all 20 prices at S$360. Schools teaching at public pools charge S$100 to S$130 a month for group lessons; schools with their own heated or indoor pool charge S$159.14 to S$208.
Among schools that publish prices, the cheapest month of group lessons is S$100, at Swim Masters, Friendly Dolphin (part of Little Fishes) and Able Aquatic School (a "from" price). The cheapest four private lessons are S$300, at JustSwim, Little Fishes, Steady Swim School and SwimRay.
Four private one-to-one lessons cost S$300 to S$436 at fixed prices across 20 schools; the one dearer price, FINS at S$640, is worked out by us from S$160 a lesson. Per lesson, a private lesson is about S$90 in the middle of the market, against about S$40 per child in a group. Sharing with a sibling or friend brings it to about S$53 each.
Often. 8 schools list a one-off registration or enrolment fee, from S$50 to S$120; some ask for a month's deposit instead. At public pools, pool entry is usually paid separately, and several schools charge more for a female coach or a weekend slot.
This page covers 32 swim schools in Singapore, from FINS (SAFRA), Swimwerks, Happy Fish, Little Splashes and aquaDucks to small coach-for-hire outfits, plus 127 per-lesson prices from their fee pages. Every price was read from the school's own page, last verified on 25 Sep 2026. Trials and promotions are listed separately and never ranked. Striped bars are prices we worked out from a school's own figures, "from" prices, or the low end of a range.
This comparison covers 32 schools priced, 58 looked into, 61 found. Every price comes from the business's own website, read and dated, and the comparison was last verified on 25 Sep 2026. No business pays to be included or to rank.
The ladder at the top lines up every business from cheapest to priciest. Below it are the standout findings, how prices spread out, and the details that matter before you book or buy. We compare prices that are comparable enough, not identical, and “The boring bit” says exactly where we drew the line.
32 swim schools with a published price for a month of weekly group lessons for a child, 20 of which also publish a price for private one-to-one lessons. We found 61 names. The directory below lists 56 of them: a LessonPlan listing for one class is counted with LessonPlan itself, and four are left off (Aqua Bambinos, which has closed; Swim2u, seen only on a 2023 press-release site; AdultSwimmingLessons.sg, which is adult-only; and SG Condo Coaches, an enquiry service that matches you with a coach). There's no reliable count of every swim school and coach in Singapore: one class marketplace alone lists 217 swimming classes, most of them run by individual coaches. So this is a comparison of schools that publish their prices, not a survey of the whole market.
Independent neighbourhood coaches mostly advertise on LessonPlan, a class marketplace, rather than on a website of their own. A marketplace listing isn't the coach's own page, so none of them is ranked. Small operators tend to publish their prices least, so this list probably leans a little towards the bigger schools. SwimHub publishes no prices (its FAQ says the price depends on the coach's tier and the location), one Singapore Swim School's own site (swimmingsingapore.com) didn't load, and we didn't find an own fee page for ActiveSG's learn-to-swim programme.
We searched guides and lists, then school by school, then pool by pool through the class marketplace for coaches with their own sites. We stopped on 25 Sep 2026 when a batch of 8 new names turned up no school with its own published price, and then ran one browser-agent round through the pages our own tools couldn't read. The names we found but didn't read are listed below.
25 Sep 2026. Every price was read on 24 or 25 Sep 2026, the same week as publishing, so the usual second read of the highest and lowest prices on publishing day was not done. Where a price rested on a judgement call, the small print says so.
We rank what you'd pay. Where a school shows a price with GST, we use it. Where a school says its prices are before GST (Swish Swimming, Swim Lab) or that GST applies on top (Red Dot Penguins), we add 9% and mark the price as worked out by us. Where a school doesn't mention GST, we take the listed price as final: many small schools aren't GST-registered. A price list that still works GST at 7% is treated as out of date.
Only from each school's own website. Pages our own tools couldn't read were read with a browser agent (Claude in Chrome), which renders the page the way a visitor sees it, and one school's fee page (Swish Swimming) was read from screenshots taken by hand; the directory says which. A school's direct reply to a message is never used as a price.
