Testimonials and Reviews
“My daughter learned swimming with coach Han Rong for the past 3 months, I really find him a good instructor. He is very patient and is always willing to play with the kids. I think that all the kids including my daughter really enjoy swimming with him around. My daughter is actually extremely afraid of water but I am so glad that she can swim by her own without any floating support now. Thanks for Coach Han Rong to let her have confidence in swimming.”

“I would like to thank coach Larry for his wonderful teaching. My son has been taking swimming lessons from him and has overcome the phobia of water. He seem to have infinite patience with his students. I would highly recommend coach Larry from Ace Dolphin Swim School to any interested in swimming lessons from beginners to advanced. Thanks Larry!”

“The children enjoys their class very well and they will be unhappy if they could not have their swimming class due to any reason. Technically, they progress very well too. Thank you very much, Coach Hanrong.”

“Both my boys learn swimming from teacher Larry. He is very patient and friendly towards the boys. Both are progressing well. Joseph has obtained the stage 2 swim survival test, and Benjamin has overcame his fear of water merely over 2 month’s time and is now looking forward for swimming class! Teacher Larry knows how to manage the boys and impart the right skills to them. Thank you teacher Larry. He charges very reasonable prices.”

Even in just one session, we noticed how attentively Coach Eric observed and adapted to our child’s comfort level and skill. It was wonderful to see our little ones smiling, engaged, and already picking up new techniques. The coach struck a great balance between fun and focus, which made the experience both enjoyable and productive.
We’re really looking forward to continuing lessons and watching our child grow more confident in the water. A fantastic first impression—we’re so glad we found Coach Eric!
Coach Han Rong teaches my son, and thanks to his patient support, my son picked up swimming quickly and now swims confidently after just a few lessons. Highly recommend!
2025: We’ve had a wonderful experience with Coach Gary! This is our second year with him, and we continue to be impressed by his patience, consistency, and dedication. He is incredibly accommodating and always fully present during each session, creating a supportive and encouraging environment for the kids. Our child has grown so much in confidence and ability under his guidance, and we’re now looking forward to the next stage of assessment. Highly recommended!
Highly Recommended Coach Han Rong. 👍
Been following coach gary since covid times.. easy-going swim coach & great with young kids. 😊 thank you ace 🐬 for taking care of my daughter ❤️
He is also prompt into responding to my queries. Recommended!

A special thank-you for the heartwarming toy gift — it truly brightened up my boy’s day after his first trial in the big pool and gave him extra motivation to keep improving.
We also deeply appreciate the flexibility and understanding the school offered to accommodate our busy working schedule. Thank you, Coach Alvin and the Ace Dolphins team, for creating such a positive and encouraging environment for young learners! 💙
Here are my observation
1) the teacher to class ratio is good. It was not too big a class and everyone got equal attention from the coach. There
2) coach Alvin is natural with kids. Can see he can build the rapport with the kids very quickly and can see the kids trust him enough to follow his instructions closely. Even with a child with a fear of water, he was able to earn the trust for the child to enter the water. It was not a one way interaction which I find it interesting and good as the kids of today is really different. His professionalism can be seen through the way he convey important lessons effectively for even younger kid. My kids told me they are excited for the next lesson.
3) the class started punctually and there was no time wasted
4) venue is awesome as it is a sheltered pool so no worries for wet weather.
Will recommend to go for a trial if you are looking for somewhere to start your child to learn to swim.
Coach Alvin makes the kids feel at ease. He guides them and always encourage his students.
Already recommend Ace Dolphin to my friends!
Gladly to say 6 months down the road, they have gotten more independent and confident in water and are able to swim.
Coach Alvin is very experienced and is able to manage the lessons very well.
A heartfelt thank you for your unwavering dedication and patience in teaching Ernest swimming — starting from the tender age of 5 until now. Watching him grow in confidence and skill has been an incredible journey, and it wouldn’t have been possible without your steady guidance and encouragement.
Your calm presence, gentle instruction, and consistent support have left a lasting impression not only on Ernest but on all of us. Thank you for nurturing his love for swimming and for being such a positive influence in his life.
Wishing you a wonderful Teacher’s Day — you truly make a difference, one swimmer at a time!
When she first started, she was genuinely afraid to put her face underwater. As a parent, it was both heartbreaking and challenging to watch her battle that fear. But everything changed when she met Coach Alvin.
With his incredible patience, kindness, and steady guidance, Coach Alvin helped her build trust—not just in him, but in herself. He never rushed her progress, always encouraging her gently and celebrating every small step. Week by week, I saw her confidence grow. She began to enjoy her lessons, smile in the water, and eventually, start to swim with joy and assurance.
Today, she proudly dives into the kids’ pool (1 meter deep) to retrieve toys from the bottom—something I couldn’t have imagined her doing just weeks ago. It may seem like a small milestone to some, but to me, it’s a huge victory and a sign of how far she's come.
I am so grateful to Coach Alvin and the entire team at Ace Dolphin Swim School for creating such a supportive, positive environment. This journey has not only taught my daughter how to swim, but also how to face her fears and trust the process. Thank you for giving her this gift.
Highly recommended for any parent looking for a swim school that truly cares.

Today, thanks to Coach Ivan’s patience, encouragement, and clear guidance, Sophia has blossomed into a confident little swimmer. She now looks forward to every lesson with great excitement — she jumps into the pool on her own, even asking Coach Ivan to remove her back float (the turtle board she used to rely on so much). She proudly swims at the front, eager to challenge herself and show her progress.
What amazes me most is how her confidence has grown, not just in swimming but in her whole attitude towards learning and overcoming fear. Sophia has even started mastering her hand movements in the front crawl, and I know it’s only a matter of time before she’s swimming strongly and independently.
We are truly grateful to Coach Ivan for his dedication and encouragement. He has made Sophia’s swim journey such a joyful and empowering experience — one that has given her skills, courage, and a love for swimming.
We’ve been through the Covid period together, and now, even as all four of my children are in their pre teens and teenage years, they are still training under Coach Hanrong. I believe this continuity not only builds their skills but also serves as a great motivation for them to keep exercising and stay active.
The coaches at ACEDOLPHIN are truly dedicated, patient, and professional. Their guidance, encouragement, and consistency have played a huge role in my children’s development, both in swimming and in building discipline. I couldn’t recommend them more!

Very patient, fun loving and caring Coach.
He has a way of connecting with the kids and this allows them to have plenty of fun while learning.
Plan to enrol my youngest gal next year and under his care too.
The Coaches has their way to build water confidence and safety with the toddlers/ preschoolers, sustaining their interest to attend their class every week. Special shout-out to Coach WeiJie for his patient, fun, gentle yet firm way of conducting his classes.
The Coaches are experienced, have a standardized method and focus on strokes and stamina, thus children have good progress and completed their Silver/ Gold SwimSafer exams progressively.
My children love attending swimming class with Ace Dolphin and I recommend parents to try them out.
Thank you!
Thank you Coach Louis once again for your superb coaching and guidance!

We've seen such a noticeable improvement both technique and comfort and most importantly,my child now loves going to swim class.
Thank you coach Ivan for making swimming such a positive experience! I highly recommended you to other families.
He has a remarkable ability to connect with young learners, ensuring they feel comfortable and confident in the water. His teaching style is gentle yet effective, always encouraging the kids while steadily building their skills. We deeply appreciate how he adapts his lessons to each child’s pace, never rushing but always keeping them motivated and engaged.
Under his guidance, both our boys have grown to enjoy swimming and have made tremendous progress. We are grateful for his commitment, professionalism, and the positive learning environment he provides.
Highly recommended for any parent looking for a coach who combines skill, patience, and genuine care for his students!
We have been to two other schools previously and she had grown adverse to water, but with Coach Gary's guidance he managed to make the lessons fun and engaging. She looks forward to the classes and is much more confident in water now.
Administration and communication from the swim school is also prompt and structured. Will definitely recommend.
I hesitated when to bring her for a swimming lesson. I finally decided it’s time to do it when she was 5 years old.
I read reviews and found Coach Ivan. He didn’t disappoint. Coach Ivan is a patient and fun teacher during class. He guides the child to do strokes and emphasises on the right technique.
The transition was surprisingly smooth for my daughter. Now, my daughter look forward to her swimming lesson every weekend and I am thankful.
Thank you Coach Ivan!
He has a way with kids, and is able to talk and explain clearly to all levels from beginners to older kids, and is able to match the level of the individuals. He has a keen eye for detail, and is focused on ensuring each stroke is mastered.

Coach Wei Jie is very versatile—he can be firm when needed, especially with my 3-year-old (now 4) who often gets distracted and doesn’t always want to follow instructions. That balance of patience and discipline made a huge difference. After just a few months, my younger child can now swim independently, and my older one (from 6 to now 7) has advanced through the different stages with growing confidence. He looks forward to swimming class every week because he can clearly see his own improvement.
Beyond that, both coaches make lessons fun and engaging, which keeps the kids motivated. They even include playful activities in the last few minutes of class—like swimming through a hula hoop—which the kids absolutely love. On top of that, they provide constructive feedback to parents so we know how to encourage and support our children outside of class.
I highly recommend Ace Dolphin Swim School, especially with Coach Wei Jie and Coach Huey Min!
A big thank you to all the coaches for their guidance and encouragement!
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Coach HanRong! The care, dedication, and expertise he brings to every lesson are truly outstanding. From the very first session, he made my child feel comfortable, confident, and excited to learn.
Coach HanRong has a unique ability to connect with kids, balancing patience and encouragement while helping them develop essential swimming skills. My child, both the elder and younger sisters, has not only improved in technique but has also grown in confidence and water safety, which is priceless. It’s clear how much he cares about each swimmer’s progress and well-being.
We’re always impressed by the positive and supportive atmosphere he creates during lessons. Seeing my child’s smile and enthusiasm before and after each class speaks volumes about the fun and rewarding experience Coach HanRong provides.
Thank you so much, Coach HanRong, for your commitment, kindness, and passion for teaching. You’ve made a huge difference in my child’s life, and we’re beyond grateful. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a phenomenal swim coach!
