What Our Clients Love
"Simply put, Aiden is the best swimming coach in Singapore."
My two children, now aged 12 and 10, took lessons with Aiden for about 3 years. He has totally transformed their relationship with water and made them very confident and competent swimmers (my eldest swims in his school squad in London). Their swimming lessons with Aiden continued even after we moved to London: they actively asked me to book sessions with "Coach Aiden" during our summer holidays in Singapore.
Aiden is hugely experienced, and he is wonderful with kids and adults alike. He gives his students confidence to push their boundaries and learn new things. At 49 years old I thought I knew how to swim breaststroke until one day Aiden tweaked a few things and improved my stroke efficiency by a lot!
Aiden is incredibly attentive and encouraging, and has a calm personality. Communication with Aiden has always been easy and he was flexible if we ever needed to alter lessons.
Emerge is a fantastic choice, and I can't recommend it highly enough. It is perfect for anyone who is looking for a bespoke, one-to-one swimming lesson.

"Renewed joy and a spirit of competitiveness through swimming!"
Aiden is not the typical swim coach. He invests considerable personal time and resources being a stakeholder in the student’s swimming journey. With Aiden in our corner, my four year old son and I have found renewed joy and a spirit of competitiveness through swimming.

"It’s easy enough to find a swimming teacher who “does the job” but it’s not so easy to find a teacher that teaches with his heart like Aiden does."
My daughter and I have both been learning to swim with Aiden for 18 months or so. The main driver to her swimming with Coach Aiden was to have her proficient in all 4 strokes so that she could participate in the school training squad. With that in mind, Aiden patiently and strategically got her to swim and most importantly, love swimming. He knows exactly when to push her to get her to do more as he really gets to know her personality and what drives her. She always looks forward to her classes (much can be said about some other classes!!). The swimming has built up her confidence as a child. As parents, we hope to instil in our kids a love of something and Aiden has certainly done that.
As for me, Aiden has taught me more than just swimming. He taught me that swimming wasn’t just about brute force but it was also mindful and elegant. He taught me that pacing was a type of patience. These skills could be applied to life in general. I always come out of the pool energised and am so thankful he never lets me give up when I am ready to.
We’re definitely team Aiden all the way. Test it out and you’ll know.

"It's the balance of having a strong human element in addition to the technical aspects that differentiates Aiden."
Like everything, improving your swimming skills requires effort. Everyone’s different. Aiden’s approach to accelerating the development of swimming is underpinned by advanced techniques and a structured approach. However, it’s the balance of having a strong human element in addition to the technical aspects that differentiates Aiden. Having the right motivator is a huge advantage. Aiden does that. Our entire family (children and adults) have greatly benefited from Aiden’s coaching.

"Aiden is able to make the lesson a lot of fun while keeping the intensity very high."
Aiden has been a great coach and friend to our son and myself as well. Aiden is able to make the lesson a lot of fun while keeping the intensity very high. My son's swimming ability and interest in swimming improved dramatically. I, myself was able to swim in around 4 months time (once a week lesson) with Aiden. Always on time and detailed feedback after every class. Highly recommended.

"He did not treat them as students but more as friends... helped children look forward to their lessons."
Coach Aiden Lee had been teaching at the Tanglin Club for about 10 years. He taught young children who were beginners in swimming. Coach Aiden came across as a very enthusiastic and encouraging teacher who combined serious teaching with fun elements. I noticed children under him enjoying their lessons instead of cringing with fear. He did not treat them as “students” but more as friends and this personal skill helped children to look forward to their lessons.

"A wonderful coach pushing boundaries."
Aiden has been a wonderful coach pushing boundaries and we really enjoyed our time with him. We wish to find someone like him in Canada as well. Thanks from the bottom of our hearts!

"Patient, positive, and brilliant at making the technical details understandable."
Aiden is a fantastic swimming coach. Patient, positive, and brilliant at making the technical details understandable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

"My son went from fearful to amazing"
Would definitely recommend coach Aiden as he has been my son’s coach for 3 years . My son went from fearful to amazing at his techniques. Both my kids are now trained to swim by Aiden and they are 5 and 2.5 year old.

"The way Aiden coaches is a game changer. You never knew such an amazing standard existed till you've tried Emerge Swim."
Emerge Swim is a game changer for those who are interested to learn swimming or want to deepen their skills. I did a Freestyle Course with Aiden the head coach. His ability to teach and give clear and effective instructions really enabled me to learn the stroke in a very short period of time. I really enjoyed his lessons and would recommend anyone who is looking for 1-to-1 private swimming lessons to try Emerge Swim.
- Lexi
"Aiden doesn't just teach swimming. He teaches people to LOVE swimming."
There are many beautifully written testimonials, but even better is the person who it's written about. Aiden doesn't just teach swimming. He teaches people to love swimming.

自从我的儿子和李老师上了游泳课之后，自由泳和仰泳都学会了，尤其是自由泳现在游的越来越好了，仰泳学习的时间比较短，所以还在练习当中，我发现体力也比以前好了许多，老师上课的时候非常认真负责，每个动作教的都很仔细，并且孩子进步也很快！
另外，上课的时候也不会觉得枯燥乏味，有时候会和孩子互动做游戏，我觉得这点很好，是一位经验丰富的老师，很好，孩子很喜欢👍
