Female swimming instructor in Singapore who understands fear and knows how to help her students overcome it.
Hi, I am Stephanie! A warm, patient and certified female swimming instructor singapore based in the East of Singapore. I’ve spent the last 13 years working with students of all ages, teaching rhythm and harmony through the piano. Today, I bring that same dedication to the pool, helping children and adults find their confidence in the water in a way that is both fun and safe.
My swimming journey started at a very young age at the old police academy at Toa Payoh and been actively swimming for more than 30 years but my life as an avid swimmer began with a personal transformation. I once faced my own struggles with health and body confidence at 75kg, but swimming unlocked a strength I didn't know I had. I lost 15kg in just four months and discovered that the water is a sanctuary for growth. This journey deepened my mission: to empower others to achieve their own physical and mental breakthroughs.
-15kg in 4 months. A transformation that boosted my body confidence and fueled my passion for the water.
By combining my 13 years of childhood education experience with intensive athletic upskilling, I’ve transitioned from the piano bench to the poolside. My teaching style is rooted in the same patience I use with my piano students, now enhanced by advanced sport science and safety certifications.

SwimStephy's coaching methodology
My Experience before starting SwimStephy, I gained hands-on experience through attachments and working with established swimming schools. These experiences allowed me to observe different teaching methods, work with students of different ages and abilities, and understand how children develop confidence and skills in the water.
Over time, I developed my own approach to teaching, focusing on helping students understand and control their own bodies in the water.
The Heart Behind the Waves – your female swimming instructor Singapore
Stephanie is a patient and passionate teacher for both swimming and piano with 13 years of experience working with children. She brings a unique blend of creative patience and athletic discipline to every lesson, fostering a warm and supportive environment where every child feels empowered to find their rhythm in the water.
Small class size - Full attention from Coach
Lessons are tailored to each child’s ability, confidence and learning pace, allowing me to focus closely on their technique, body position and progress.
Where appropriate, I use minimal flotation aids so that children can gradually learn to balance, move and develop a natural feel for the water independently.
My goal is not simply to help children swim from one end of the pool to the other. I want them to develop genuine water confidence, body awareness and independence in the water. Skills they can carry with them as they continue their swimming journey with SwimStephy.
