At AQZOG Swim School, we are passionate about helping children from Oasis Primary School and nearby schools build confidence, develop strong swimming techniques, and understand important water survival skills.
What is the SwimSafer Programme?
The SwimSafer programme is Singapore’s national swimming and water safety programme developed to teach children how to swim safely and confidently. It combines swimming techniques, survival skills, rescue awareness, and water safety knowledge into one complete learning system.
The programme is divided into multiple stages:
- SwimSafer Stage 1 – Introduction to Water Skills
- SwimSafer Stage 2 – Fundamental Water Skills
- SwimSafer Stage 3 – Personal Water Survival and Stroke Improvement

Each stage helps children progress gradually while improving confidence and competency in the water.
