What is the SSI Swim Program?

The SSI Swim Program is an internationally accredited learn-to-swim curriculum. The full SSI program is split across 17 levels of learning, each catering to a specific age group ranging from babies and toddlers to adults. Participants are trained in a focused way to master swimming skills and techniques that are most useful for their age.

Steady Swim School offers a safe and encouraging environment for participants to gain confidence in the water and become skilled swimmers. 

Our SSI swim certified coaches focused on helping each participant achieve the learning goals of each level, and tailor teaching to individual learning ability and comfort levels. We aim to help every participant learn to swim independently and achieve SSI certification.

My child’s swim coach, Siqi has been exceptional, patient, encouraging, and highly dedicated. She creates a fun yet focused learning environment where children feel supported and confident in the water. My child always looks forward to her lessons and continues to make wonderful progress. I first discovered her through a friend’s recommendation, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a skilled, nurturing, and professional swim instructor.

We've had a truly pleasant experience with this swimming school. Our son, who started as a complete beginner, has made exceptional progress thanks to Coach Siqi's dedicated instruction. We especially appreciate that she provides periodic updates on his development, showing her commitment. On the administrative side, the school is very professional and consistently responds to all our queries promptly. Highly recommended!

I have been searching for a small group swim class for my 6yo boy, and he can't be on his own when in the water. Coach Qi is the coach for his class, and I am so glad! She is so patient, lady of a few words but can interact with the kids well. Knowing that he is afraid of water, Coach Qi keeps assuring him, making sure he is safe and with much encouragement, he has improved so much as compared to previous.

My boy now has so much confidence and always looking forward to the weekly swimming class. Thank you!

Coach Ben has been an incredible swimming coach for my young children. He strikes the perfect balance between being fun and approachable, while still remaining firm and patient in his teaching style.

What we appreciate most is how he builds confidence in his students while still maintaining discipline in the pool. My children genuinely look forward to every class with him — a true testament to his ability to connect with them.

I recently completed my swimming lessons with Ben and had a wonderful experience. I started with zero freestyle knowledge, and now I’m able to swim properly with confidence. Ben is patient, encouraging, and very clear in his explanations. His guidance helped me unlearn bad habits and develop proper technique. Highly recommend Ben if you’re looking for a friendly and supportive instructor!
