My boy has been with Ace Dolphin for about 3 years now, progressing with Coach Zul, Gary and now Hanrong. He enjoys his lessons with all of them and looks forward to his classes each week. The coaches are great in making the class fun and enjoyable for the kids. And the kids feel achieved with the colour bands they received as they progress in their skills! Kudos to Ace Dolphin!

Coach Hanrong has been teaching my kids for almost 5 years. My boys both started out afraid of entering the water (then aged 5 and 6), but he was very patient and friendly with them and slowly helped them gain water confidence. After almost 5 years with Ace Dolphin (off and on due to Covid-related restrictions/fasting month/exams, and alternating at times between private and group classes based on our schedule for the time being), am happy to say that my boys have now achieved their Silver Swimsafer certification! Thank you Coach Hanrong and team for the wonderful support in their swimming journey and imparting in them an invaluable lifeskill that they will no doubt benefit from for years to come! 🙂
