Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I am a total beginner can I join?
Definitely! Swimming is for everyone; as long as you are willing to give it a try we will be there to help you.
Q: I already know how to swim but want to improve my timing. Can you help me to swim faster?
Definitely! At Kaizen Aquatics, we believe in continuous improvement no matter what level you are. We believe in improving stroke techniques to a point where it does not become the limiting factor in swimming performance. We also believe in providing the swimmer the relevant information on training and technical knowledge to equip the swimmer with the knowledge to improve continuously after completing our 4 step approach.
Q: I want to take part in a Triathlon race but swimming is my weakest sport. How can you help?
Usually stroke technique is the area which is most lacking for triathletes. At Kaizen Aquatics we believe that everyone can and will be able to complete the Sprint / Olympic / Ironman swim distance not only comfortably, but also with a competitive time.
To provide further support for improving swimming performances in the sea, Kaizen Aquatics also conducts open sea swim clinics and workshops to provide swimmers with the technical knowledge to handle sea conditions and also opportunities to practice under supervision. Our sea swim clinics are conducted for groups smaller than 5 persons with on-shore video analysis to provide feedback to our triathletes.

Yes you can, just drop us an email or give us a call to arrange for your preferred time and location.

Each session lasts between 1 to 1.5 hours. This varies according to the pedagogical needs of each session.
Q: I have some medical problems (e.g. a back problems, knee injuries etc.), can I still learn swimming?
Yes! However, we advise that you request for a full medical examination or go for a comprehensive health screening and seek clearance with a medical doctor before embarking on any physical sports activity. Nonetheless, we also believe that swimming is a low impact sport when proper methods and techniques are used thus having a lower risk of injury.

Q: Is it recommended to have 1 to 1 sessions for kids?
Kids, unlike adults learn better with more interaction and some competition. At Kaizen Aquatics, we use games to increase the level of fun and enhance the learning process. These methods allow the kids to enjoy the learning process. We do this through a series of games and challenges, following the pedagogy commonly known as Games Concept Approach (GCA).
