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 swim coach in Singapore. I’ve spent the last 12 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 20 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 12 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.
