I had a thrilling experience on the whole. When I first signed-up as an adult beginner, I was rather apprehensive about achieving my personal goals - overcoming fear and enjoying the swim feeling safe in the water. The atmosphere was totally supportive and laid-back. The instructors, Melissa, Judy and occasionally Germaine made a huge difference for me. I was impressed with how patient they were. They took the time needed and gave me plenty of encouragement to help me complete tasks that were challenging to me, out of my comfort zone. Cheers to this bunch of passionate, friendly and jovial instructors. I am so glad to find the right swimming school after making inquiries with a few others in Penang. Active Swim, certainly the best for fresh beginners like me.

Had my doubts when joining , but 10/10 class very professional and friendly instructors. Started with not knowing how to swim to swimming mechanically and finished my classes knowing how to swim like a fish. Thanks Active Swim and Coach Max Lee !!

So glad I found this school. As an adult beginner, I was first hesitated as I wondered if it’s too late to learn swimming. But I want to overcome my fear and enjoy the pool like everybody else. And Active Swim helped me with that thru their wonderful coaches. Big thank you to coach Max with the support of coach Judy. They are professional while at the same time- fun, friendly, patience and especially attentive by monitoring my body, hands and legs movement and guide me patiently to improve. Thank u for constantly giving me encouragement, I have become more comfortable in the pool and always looking forward for the next class!

One of the best places to learn swimming from. Instructors with great amount of patience. A special shout out to coach Max for all the guidance and patience with my son.

My son enjoyed his swimming classes at Century Bay with Coach Wong. Coach Wong is a very experienced and patient coach, he can point out my son's posture mistakes and give precise instruction and corrections. My son love his class and always having lot of fun in his class. Highly recommended 👍

I'm one of the adult student for the swimming classes under coach Charles and I just want to say that he is such a kind-hearted, patient, friendly and skilled in his niche area. It is such a breath of fresh air to find a coach who genuinely cares about the wellbeing and also the progress and performance of their clients and have good intentions to improve their clients' lives for the better through swimming as a medium. I'd really recommend him and Active Swim classes for everyone out there regardless of their ages and backgrounds. Job well done! 👏

We've a great experience with Activeswim school ! My son Jayden,6 yes old and I both was so nervous until we met coach Judy. A cool, professional and loving coach. She always give us plenty of encouragement to help us to complete the task that's challenging and out of our comfort zone. We've learnt so much skills happily. Now we are confident to swim all 4 strokes and treading water in deep pool in 24 lessons.. I'll join the stroke correction lesson too. Jayden did enjoyed swimming very well. He loves coach Judy, Max, Eugene... I'm proud of him because he passed the assessment and be one of the Eliteteam swimmer under Max and Eugene. A great team with pro and caring coaches. Clean evinronment, big pool, nice food at poolside cafe, friendly pool staff and helpful admin team. Thanks again to Activeswim team transform us into happy fishes. All the coaches are so good - Judy, Max, Eugene, Victor, Melissa, Wong, Elyas, Germaine, John, Louis , Belle Lee.... see you at pool !

Coach Fish is professional, patient, caring and responsible. My kid loves the swimming class so much, and he is looking forward to it every week. Not just having fun only, but my kid also learned a lot. Week by week, I can see that he is having improvement. Strongly recommended. 👍🏻👍🏻

Swimming class conducted were very professional and fun. Overall experience was worth the money. Special thanks and recommendation to Coach John for his superb skills and expertise in teaching my son.

Big shout out to Coach Max for his patience and professionalism. Thanks to the coach, I’m so proud to say I know I won’t drown (in still waters at least haha!) I’m so excited to explore water activities again, and now can confidently sign up for an opening diving course. He helped me gain water confidence and build interest in picking up swimming as a technical skill. Coach Max teaches students of all ages — I’ve seen him coach kids as young as 5-6 years old to senior folks in their 60/70s, and I saw their improvement as I progressed along too. He is always respectful and would patiently guide you through if you’re struggling, but taking the time to first understand why you’re having difficulties with a stroke or technique. If you are afraid of water and would like a coach who will explain to you in a scientific and technical way how to swim and how to swim well (there’s a difference), Coach Max is the person to go to!

Sign up due to my breaststroke moving very slow and I still has phobia on water after so many years. My initial coach is Fish and I am progressing well with my breaststroke. Fish relocated to another branch and my classes are continue with Wong. He is a very detail and patient coach that come out with various ways when teaching me freestyle and backstroke. Thanks to the coaches!! Already recommends them to my friends! ❤️

Enrolling is smooth and easy with Active Swim's supportive online help. Still, as a very, very senior student, I assumed I'd improve a very, very small amount. Instead, thanks to the wonderful coaching Max offers, my swimming has changed substantially. He insightfully sequences lessons into achievable steps, in my case enthusiastically and mega-patiently encouraging me to break decades of inefficient habits. If Max could help me become more confident and competent despite my ancient age, imagine what could unfold for you!

I first joined the programme with the intention to overcome the fear of swimming in deep water. Now after the 12 lessons, I can confidently swim on my own. Under the guidance of my main coach Chris, I’m able to swim breaststroke, freestyle, backstroke and water treading within 6 lessons. I’m having difficulties to master butterfly (known as the hardest stroke). Chris has guided me so patiently, help me to tackle my problems and give me valuable input on how can I fine tune my movements. Besides Chris, I also get to learn from coach Luis, Robin & Max. All the coaches are highly experienced & knowledgeable and most importantly they motivate me to swim better/ further. Each coach is assigned to only 2-3 students for each session, so each student can get good amount of attention. Price is very reasonable too. There are still a lot for me to learn other than just the 4 main strokes. Hence, you can also renew for another cycle at the same rate to learn about other techniques. All in all, an amazing swimming experience over the past 3 months and can’t wait to be back to the pool again! Location : TAR Tanjong Bungah

🤩 Thank you 🤩I had the pleasure of learning under June’s guidance as my swim teacher, and it was an enriching experience. Her friendly demeanor and immense helpfulness created an encouraging environment for learning. June’s dedication and commitment to ensuring her students feel comfortable in the water are truly commendable. She possesses an exceptional ability to tailor her teaching to individual needs, which significantly aids in skill development. Furthermore, I would like to highlight Silvia, who also played a pivotal role in enhancing my swimming abilities. Silvia’s support and assistance complemented June’s teaching style seamlessly, contributing significantly to my progress. Overall, I highly recommend June as a swim teacher due to her friendly nature, patience, and expertise. Her collaboration with Silvia ensures a comprehensive and rewarding learning experience for any aspiring swimmer. I would say all the teachers are friendly and try to help if they notice you are straggling.Thank you again !!

I’m enrolled under Coach Wong for my swimming lessons at Century Bay. Just wanted to give a shoutout to Coach Wong for his patience in teaching student like me who learns at a slower pace. He tailors his teaching methods according to the students’ needs and skills without forgoing the technical aspects and knowledge. He also creates a positive and friendly learning environment and willing to share his experiences. I enjoyed every lessons especially when I see the progress and breakthrough that the coach motivated me through! Now that I extended for another 12 lessons to improve my skills even more and that’s what I am looking forward to every week. I also had the opportunity to join the lessons by Coach Victor and Max who are also very professional and experienced. Would definitely recommend ActiveSwim to anyone who is interested in learning how to swim and Kudos to all the coaches for their dedication!

Highly recommend Teacher Firdaus. Really appreciate such a kind coach we have meet here, patient and very good coaches, thumb up, even raining day also no stop training, my son really enjoy each class

All the coaches in ActiveSwim are very good, caring and professional and the environment is always happy and interesting. Thank you Coach Charles for teaching my kids so well now they know how to swim backstroke and butterfly. He is a very responsible coach.

I really learned how to swim because of my coach Cindy. 12 lessons were more than enough for me to learn because of her. She is really excellent and efficient coach. Also, the admin team were helpful to arrange your lessons for you and the replacement classes. Thank you for your good service! We really appreciate it.

Thanks for the guidance from Coach Chee Ching. He is nice, friendly and professional. Throughout the lessons, I had overcome the fear of water and able to swim with different strokes from a zero swimming background.

Highly recommended for parents who look for kids swimming class. Coach Wong is an experience coach and he is patient in guiding the students. My daughter enjoy the lessons with Coach Wong and looks forward to his lesson every week. Thank you Active Swim and Coach Wong.

When I first started to swim at Active Swim, I could barely float and was exhausted. However, with their help I was able to grow more and more comfortable in the water. I greatly improved my technique and accomplished my goals of floating, swimming more than 3 pool lengths without stopping and learning new swim strokes. I now love swimming and am so happy I signed up. I want to personally thank my coach, Charles for helping me progress in the beginner level classes within this time span. Thank you Active Swim academy for such a great experience.

All coaches are very patient and nice. good for beginner, from zero until able to swim in a few weeks.

The best instructor: Judy and Victor. They allow you to learn at your own pace and guide you all through the way. Never thought I would be able to do it and its a good place to learn for adults who wants a laid back and learn at your own pace style. Don't lose hope, contact them and start fulfilling your dream of swimming :)

The swimming class is very smooth and effective, I've attended the class for twice so far and I already know how to swim and not afraid to jump from the land into swimming pool deeper than my height! It's amazing! Besides, Judy and Victor are very good instructor! They're very skillful, experienced, obedient and in the same time, they are very fun! Their characteristics make me feel very safe and relax (or in the other word, not nervous at all) when attending the class. I started to look forward for every class onwards.

I can't recommend this lesson enough. In only a few weeks I've become much calmer, more comfortable and energy efficient in the water. Max provides really accurate tips and his personality is very patient and reassuring, which is just what a beginner adult needs. The build up is gradual and matches your own personal progression rather than moving with a group. I look forward to the lesson every week because I genuinely see enough improvement to keep me motivated.

Coach Jeffrey and Cindy possesses an unparalleled ability to create a positive and encouraging learning environment. From the very first session, I felt at ease and motivated to push beyond my limits. Their patience, attentiveness, and genuine passion for swimming are truly commendable. With their guidance, I was able to conquer my fears and break through barriers that I never thought possible.

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Active HQ for your patience in answering my doubts and arranging my lessons. At first, I was shy and hesitating to join Active Swim as a female adult; however, I'm kind of proud of myself now and will never regret having the courage to sign up for their lessons! While I believed I already knew several fundamentals, like as breaststroke and back float, my initial goal was simply to master a freestyle stroke. Nonetheless, neither of my coaches shied away from offering me advice on how to enhance or refine those well-known strokes. (I thought they will be like, "Oh, since you already know, I'll just ignore it.") I sincerely appreciate their commitment and dedication to educating; this is something to be cherished! Coach Fish is a very friendly and cheerful person; he can mingle easily with anyone, especially children. The lesson will never get boring when he is around. He helped a lot with improvising my breaststroke and the basics of the freestyle stroke. Thanks a lot! Coach Wong is very helpful, observant, and encouraging. I'm very grateful that I've learned a lot from him—more than I expected! I am in love with the new technique taught (the dolphin kick). I wish to learn more from him, but too bad I'm moving abroad soon. At least now I'm happy that I can swim (not too badly) freestyle, breaststroke, and backstroke without drowning. Thanks for everything! Another point I couldn't ignore: I am always greeted by a friendly guard before the lesson; he will never forget to put a smile on his face! I always believe that little acts of kindness have underestimated power. Keep up the good vibes! It’s always enjoyable going there, with such a relaxing environment at Century Bay. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience!

Thank you ActiveSwim Team. I am appreciate swimming class in ActiveSwim in Penang. More than swimming lesson I get from the team is encouraging ,smile and laugh. If I have a chance I would love to come back for second course. Thanks again for try to teach me and train me .

The coaches are always friendly and extremely patient in troubleshooting and correcting my mistakes. They go above and beyond in coaching and I have seen significant improvement after a few classes.
