Splash Bright, Swim Right!

Welcome to MSL Swimming Academy! We’re here to help our community grow confident, skilled swimmers in a safe and encouraging space where every lesson inspires progress!

Why Learn to Swim?

Safety around water

Being safe around water is one of the most important life skills anyone can have. Whether it’s at the beach, pool, or even the bath, learning to swim gives you and your loved ones peace of mind. It’s about feeling secure, staying calm, and knowing what to do in and around water

Improve Physical Development

Swimming helps strengthen growing bodies and supports coordination, balance, and motor skills. It’s gentle on the joints but powerful in impact — helping children and adults alike develop strength, flexibility, and endurance

Develop a Skill

Swimming isn’t just an activity — it’s a valuable life skill that opens the door to fun, fitness, and future opportunities. It’s something you carry with you for life, and the earlier it’s learned, the more natural it becomes

Competitive Aspirations

For those with a spark for competition, swimming can become more than a skill — it’s a sport that builds discipline, resilience, and drive. From local races to elite levels, we support every swimmer’s goals with guidance and encouragement

Make new friends

Swim lessons bring people together! Whether it’s your child joining their first class or you diving into something new, swimming is a social sport that builds friendships, teamwork, and a sense of belonging

Develop Confidence

Few things boost self-esteem like learning to swim. Conquering fear, mastering a new stroke, or just being able to float for the first time — each moment in the water builds courage, independence, and a belief in what’s possible

A programme to suit your needs

At MSL Swimming Academy, we offer programs for every stage of the journey — from first splashes to competitive strokes. With care, guidance, and encouragement, we help each swimmer grow in confidence, skill, and joy

  • COMING SOON - Our Head coach, Melissa is currently undergoing training to be one of only a few instructors in Malaysia qualified to safely handle baby swimming classes.

    When we do offer this, parents will be required to be in the water with their child in what is a fun learning experience for all. Parents will also learn techniques that they can take away and use at home with their baby.

  • Our toddler programme starts children off at the first step of our syllabus, Water Confidence.

    Our skilled instructors spend time helping children feel confident and safe in and around the water.

    This programme focuses on breathing, buoyancy and movement in the water.

    When students show competence in these areas they move straight into the learn to swim programme.

    Class Size - 3/4

  • Our learn to swim programme follows a UK based 5 step syllabus.

    Here students learn accurate techniques for all 4 swimming strokes:

    • Freestyle

    • Backstroke

    • Breaststroke

    • Butterfly

    Throughout the programme, students are also trained to develop their physical capabilities so that they are able to swim over a further distance.

    This programme also extends to teach students some of he fundamentals they will need if they wish to enter a pre competitive programme.

    Class size - 5

  • Our Adult programme follows the same principles of the learn to swim programme however, as adults tend to learn faster the programme is accelerated and bespoke to each learner’s needs.

    The coaches will work with you to understand what you want from swimming (e.g. fitness, confidence, access water based activities, learn to swim etc) and shape the learning towards your needs.

    With safety being less of a concern with adults, the coach can differentiate the learning so you get a bespoke programme.

    Class size - 4

  • All our programmes offer group classes.

    Here are some of the benefits of learning in a group:

    5. Develops Patience & Respect

    6. Provides Role Models

  • We also offer a range of private class options. These can be 1-1, 2-1, 3-1 or a family package.

    1. Tailored to Individual Needs

    2. Faster Skill Development

    3. Flexible Lesson Pace

    4. Personalised Attention

It is really worth recommending!”

She started with no experience at all, but with the help of the wonderful instructors, she has quickly picked up basic swimming skills and now feels so much more comfortable in the water. What impressed me the most is how caring and attentive the coaches are — even when my daughter missed class due to illness, they arranged a make-up session and the coach still remembered exactly what she had learned before and continued from there. It really shows how much attention they give to each child. The admin team is also amazing — always friendly, understanding, and helpful with scheduling or any concerns.I highly recommend this swimming school for any young child who needs a patient, supportive, and skilled environment to learn swimming”
