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!”

“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.”

We had our first trial lesson with Coach Eric, and we were genuinely impressed. From the moment the session began, He made our child feel comfortable and excited to be in the water. His friendly demeanor, clear instructions, and encouraging attitude created such a positive learning environment.

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 Sunny was very patient with my young boy (he’s just turned 3 last month) who had gone for the trial to see if he would be able to join the class. Though his peers were all older and more experienced than him, coach Sunny had still given attention to my son and ensured that learning still took place for him. My son was initially fearful but grew more confident and stopped crying after a few mins thanks to Coach Sunny’s efforts in trying to build rapport with him.Will be signing up for the full class now (:

My kid has been with the school for 7 months now and I am seeing my kid growing more confident in water. My kid has little exposure to water play/pool prior to joining Ace Dolphin. Lesson progress seems slow at the beginning but I guess it may be intentionally structured that way for children to have sufficient time to build confident and familiar to be in water. Thank you to Coach Sunny for the patient, encouragement, and being strict to the kids when needed. I look forward seeing my kid to be able to swim without board and not forgotten to be ready for SwimSafer Lvl 1 certification.
Coach Alvin and Coach Han Rong are patient, supportive, and skilled swimming instructors. My daughter was initially very afraid of the water, but with Coach Alvin’s guidance, she now swims confidently.
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!

Coach Gary is patient, soft-spoken and kind. The small group sizes make the classes conducive for learning, and each child receives adequate attention and guidance. He encourages progress at a comfortable pace for every child, without being harsh or strict. We also appreciate that he is flexible and understanding when make-up lessons are needed, for instance if the kids are suddenly unwell. A very nice and reliable coach whom we would recommend.

2024: My 7 year old daughter joined Ace Dolphin early 2024 after being with Happy Fish for 4 years. Within the same year, Coach Gary recommended her to go for swimming test Bronze level, something we waited very long for previously. My daughter can be reserved and quiet but Coach Gary managed to make her feel safe with his kind personality and calm demeanour. He is good with children and caring towards them. This shows when he teaches them. My daughter enjoys going to swimming class. Thank you Coach Gary!

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!

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! 🙂

It was our first free trial with Ace Dolphins, and we had such a wonderful experience! Coach Alvin was extremely friendly and patient in guiding my boy, who had no prior experience in floating or breathing and was attending his very first swimming lesson. Despite his initial nervousness, Coach Alvin’s encouragement and gentle approach helped him feel more confident and willing to try harder.

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! 💙

Today was the first trial lesson my two kids(5 and 7) had with ACE Dolphin Swim School with coach Alvin. I went in with a bit of hesitance as my last experience with another more expensive swimming class left a bit of a sour taste to my older kid and it was the first time I am sending his younger sibling with him.
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.

My 2 boys aged 5 & 6 have been taking lessons at Happy Fish since they were toddler. This year we decided to enrol both of them with Ace Dolphin at sengkang swimming complex as we felt it is time for them to progress to a more open environment that is not as protected as Happy Fish.

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!

My daughter began her swim journey with Ace Dolphin Swim School in July 2025, and what an incredible transformation I've witnessed in just 1.5 months.

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.

My daughter, Sophia Faith Ang, started her swimming journey with Coach Ivan feeling very hesitant and afraid to even jump into the pool without her floats. She would cling on tightly and was unsure of herself in the water.

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.

My eldest son started swimming with ACEDOLPHIN when he was just 6 years old under Coach Albert, and over the years, my other three children also joined, training under Coach Raymond and Coach Alvin, and of course, the longest-serving Coach Hanrong.

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!

A big shout out to our very dear coach Ivan. Thank you for teaching Joseph and Julia swimming. I have seen them grow so much in the last one year and saw a big improvement in their confidence with water. They enjoy their weekly swimming lessons with you and I can’t wait for the day when it’s Julia’s turn to go for her test. Thank you for showering them with so much love and jellies (of course).

Coach Gary is a great coach with an endearing personable style. My son enjoys learning from him and we can see him improving with every class. We are glad that he is our son’s coach!

Before coming to Ace Dolphine, my 6 year old boy was still afraid of water and when he went to the waterpark he always stayed in the baby's pool only. I sent him to try it out first. Coach Gary is friendly and easygoing with the children, yet I saw him persistently encouraging the children with patience who needed more push. After 6 months, my boy can swim on his own with no fear and now he is looking forward to passing Swimsafer Stage 1.

Coach Weijie has been coaching my children swimming, and he is very patient in teaching them the correct techniques to swim. He injects fun to the class and helps his students gain water confidence. He is very patient and encouraging when coaching my son for stage 5 silver and my daughter for stage 1. My kids enjoy going for swimming lessons under an awesome coach!

My daughter has been with Ace Dolphin for a few months for now and to say we are glad to have found this swim school is an understatement.

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.

My daughter has a phobia of water, where water cant enter her eyes. We struggled during bathing for a while.

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!

Worked with Coach Ivan at Ace Dolphin swim school. He is an experienced coach who is passionate about coaching and development. He is patient and is able to encourage his students to love swimming and focus on the strokes, correct techniques and also for real life survival and being able to swim effectively. I have seen so much progress in a year of having 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.

If you’re thinking of starting your child in swimming lessons, we super highly recommend Coach Ivan. Just within a few months, we saw much progress in our son's swimming: from a complete beginner, to doing full lap without float and already clearing some swimsafer Stages, amazing for a Kindergarten kid and for a parent to see! Most importantly, improved swimming skills and water confidence, all thanks to Coach Ivan! Our son enjoys his swimming lessons and looks forward to attending them every time, and this is a sign of how nurturing Coach Ivan can be. We are already planning to register Ash’s younger sibling with Coach Ivan for lessons soon! We would also like to wish Coach Ivan a very Happy Teachers Day!

We recently enrolled our child in a program led by Coach Gary at Bishan Swimming Complex. Coach Gary is incredibly patient and kind, making them perfect for beginners. Our child, who had no prior experience, felt completely at ease from the start thanks to the coach's gentle and encouraging approach.

Happy to find Ace Dolphin Academy at Pasir Ris Swimming Complex — a great place that engages children of all ages to learn different swimming strokes in a fun and structured way. Coach Han Rong was very professional in assessing my son’s swimming ability during the trial session and thoughtfully assigned him to Coach Alvin’s class for further training. I’m looking forward to seeing his progress and achieving the SwimSafer certification soon. Highly recommend this academy for their attentive coaching and well-organized lessons! 🏊‍♂️💦

Coach Alvin was very patient with my toddler. My child listened to him easily and felt comfortable in the water. Within just a minute, my toddler was able to blow bubbles and even try some backstroke with confidence. Coach Alvoi’s calm and encouraging approach really helped build trust and made the lesson fun and effective. Highly recommended!

Alvin has been teaching my son Iman for 2 years now, and the progress has been remarkable. What we appreciate most is his positive reinforcement to keep the kids engaged, and he is always very clear about what skills they are working on. Alvin was able quickly spot the specific mistakes of my son was making with his technique. ​Instead of just telling him what was wrong, he patiently explained why it was a problem. My son's strokes are now much more efficient, and he's swimming with a lot more confidence. I am so grateful for Coach Alvin 's expertise and dedication. Highly recommend!
My daughter has been with Ace Dolphin for a year plus under Coach Hanrong. We have seen how she has grown from being very nervous about swimming to now a confident swimmer. She loves learning from Coach Hanrong because he is very patient and kind. Thank you Coach for making the swim lessons enjoyable for the kids! 😊

Both Coach Wei Jie and Coach Huey Min are extremely patient and committed to their students’ progress. What I appreciate most is that their teaching methods focus on real swim practice in the water, instead of endless drills by the poolside that kids usually dislike.

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!

Both of my boys have not only picked up the correct swimming techniques but also gained so much more water confidence. They really enjoy their classes and always look forward to the next lesson.
A big thank you to all the coaches for their guidance and encouragement!

Incredible Coach, Amazing Experience!

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!

Weijie and Hueymin are very patience and kind towards teaching and guiding my elder child. Seeing the progress of my elder one, certainly makes me feel proud especially at a mere age of 5, my child has the courage to swim in an adult pool with freestyle (which is one that I have not learnt it myself) without a float. Will definitely look forward to enrol my second one with them when the time comes. Cheers to 2 nice coaches for making swimming lessons a fun time for the children to learn a life skill. Thank you so much Weijie and Hueymin.
