Learn to swim in 3 months is a lie

The real definition of "swimming"

Heard many people want to learn swimming within 1-3 months…

Yeah… maybe it’s possible.

Possible if you:

  • Are a professional athlete with good physical fitness and coordination

  • Are ready for 3-4 hours of intensive training sessions EVERY WEEK

  • Don’t care whether your swimming posture is correct or not; whether it is safe or not

  • Have no plans to swim in open water such as the seaside, rivers or lakes

  • Only want to “show off” your swimming skills to your friends at your next party or outing

Let’s be real… the most we can squeeze for a swimming session might be 2-3 hours per week.

Because here’s something we need to understand:

Even though we normally classify swimming as ‘SPORTS’, but in truth, it’s more than that.

Swimming is a lifetime survival skill.

It's about your life and death in water.

Because here we're talking about having the water confidence to be able to:

💦 Swim in 25 meter long swimming pool without stopping
💦 Survive by yourself in the water even when you couldn't touch the ground of the swimming pool
💦 Sustain yourself by having enough stamina to complete laps after laps without feeling tired

We don't just teach swimming...

We make sure every single student has the correct stroke so that they can swim longer and further.

That's why we NEVER promise how fast you can learn to swim.

We only PROMISE the students that we teach can always swim long and steady without getting tired so fast.

Plus, if you only study for one hour a week, which a lot of us do, we can guarantee 90% of students cannot fully master the strokes within 3 months, let alone surviving in the water.

With that said, here’s what Amalina has to say about swimming becoming part of the routine:

Continue swimming as part of the exercise routine
