Best swimming classes in Kuala Lumpur: find options near you

Huge place to play different sports. Well-maintained.

They accommodate company events like with us.

In terms of parking, it looks plenty but drop-offs and pick-ups can get extremely crowded at times. Overall, this place is good.

#ExnessGames2025

The place is huge. I visited the section with the indoor sports arena, which is designed for various activities. I’m not sure how general access works, but from what I saw online, advance booking might be required.

After the event, I saw many young people around the arena, and also noticed a running track and a football field outside, suggesting it’s a popular spot for outdoor sports too.

My son has his football training here. Really nice. Surrounding condos provide much appreciated shade and I can run laps around the football pitch n see my son training. Love it.

Wow.. nice …have pushbike activity in lobby .. will brings my kid joint here also… pushbike from corepushbike .. many sports activities can do it here..

We played at ASKL today and the experiences was superb! The court is very well-maintained, facilities all top-notch, and seeing everyone played happily is encouraging to us to exercised more and be healthy! Thanx for the services! Will definitely come again!

Weekend two days also close for event but never inform or update to public. Coming here to get disappointment. Will definitely not coming anymore! Highly recommend not to purposely coming over because you will not guarantee to play!

It is one of the best sports facilities, indoor basketball, swimming pool, pickle ball, badminton, futsal, seating stadium, good signage, spacious paid parking, fully air condition, clean toilets

Good experience with good helpful swim coach. My baby had alot of fun joining their swim class. Great facilities and staff too. Like they have uv sterilizer and breastfeeding room

A great place to start swimming for babies and toddlers. I enrolled my daughter when she was just 6 months old, and now at 1.5 years she can already dive and stay underwater for 5 seconds. Truly a wonderful achievement and experience!

Nuha started as an infant and now already in her 3rd term, almost 30 lessons! She can now hold her breath for at least 6 seconds, which is amazing progress for such a little one. Coaches are super friendly and know exactly how to handle babies. The place is comfy and convenient. So glad we chose this place!

Nice place for kiddo to fast learn swimming. Coach and the staff is so patient and friendly. Lovely place for parent to rest while waiting for the.

I’ve been sending my baby since he was 7 months old, and it’s truly the best decision I’ve ever made. Can’t wait for him to move on to the intermediate class after finishing his first term! He loves the water so much, and I can really see the importance of introducing swimming from a young age.

We are very happy with our daughter’s progress so far. She is more confident swimming and enjoying herself every time she comes to the class.

Thank God I enrolled Ayra at Happy Fish Swim 163 Mont Kiara. From Fresh Start Swim until now, I can really see her progress and confidence in the water. Coaches are patient, friendly and professional, and the environment is safe and clean. Truly happy with the decision, highly recommend!

My kids really enjoyed the swimming class! The coach was friendly, the lessons were fun, and everything went smoothly. The admin was also great in sending reminders every week for class, and it was very helpful!

My kid enjoyed learning swimming classes here. Coaches are nice, staffs are friendly too. Our second time renewing our package here.

Environment is not that kind of luxury centre but what to expect with this good price. They do expanded a lot and the indoor pool just renovated. Very satisfied. The front desk and admin is friendly, helpful, and they willing to listen. The management and centre really improve alot might due to after listen to others somehow I guess. Kids and coaches can communicate well. I send my 3yo baby and 5 yo kids

We’re so pleased with our experience at the swimming class. The instructors make learning to swim both fun and safe, and we can see our daughter improving with each lesson

泳池很大，水是温的，孩子也不怕冷，冲凉的水也是温的，让怕冷的孩子也放心来到这地方

Both of my sons are taking swimming lesson at RNJ Kepong. Coaching by Coach Hassan, he is fierce and strict, but coaching responsibly and with love. He motivate the kids well and I salute the way he build the kids’ confident when they are in the water. I can clearly see huge improvement of my sons since they started to be coach by him.

Besides the coach, I believe admins are very very important. Ya Wen is very helpful and friendly, she never fails giving me her very best advice. And she always helps to monitor the improvements of my sons.

A very nice newly renovated indoor pool with luke warm water. It’s a factory converted kinda set up but it is very maintained. They close for 3 days every end of month for cleaning & maintenance. Coaches are young but are well trained. My daughter enjoy her lesson here. Photo attached are taken from my phone while waiting for her.

Absolutely Fantastic. Swimin12 Team have made our program a memorable ones. And my participants mostly senior ladies, they are very vigilant and caring, accompanied the participant in the pool and guide all the exercise and dance move. I strongly recommend them. And I am sure to repeat program again. Thanks Swimin12 Team..

I’m currently on my second class with Coach William, taking two classes per week for three months. I had zero swimming experience before this, but in just two sessions, I’ve already learned the flutter kick, breaststroke kick, breathing techniques, back-floating, and was introduced to back-floating squid swimming.

He monitors my form closely, corrects it gently, and gives encouragement when I get it right. Thanks to his guidance, I can now swim about 70% of the pool using the flutter kick and follow the routine confidently. He also advised me to keep practicing the breaststroke kick on my own to build consistency.

I highly recommend him to anyone looking to learn swimming. He’s patient, dedicated, and truly an excellent coach.

Exceptional swimming coaches who transformed my son’s relationship with water!

I cannot recommend Rukesh and William highly enough! Over just 3 weeks and 11 one-to-one lessons through the Inclusion programme, these two incredible coaches have completely transformed my son from being terrified of putting his head underwater to swimming confidently with his head submerged.

What makes Rukesh and William truly outstanding:

Overcoming Fear with Patience: They helped my son work through his water phobia using gentle, reassuring methods that built confidence step by step.

Exceptional Communication Skills: Despite my son’s communication challenges, both coaches found creative ways to connect with him through play and simple, clear signs that he could understand and respond to.

Constant Encouragement: Their positive, supportive approach kept my son motivated and excited about each lesson. They celebrated every small victory along the way.

Engaging Teaching Methods: Their playful approach and easy-to-follow instructions made learning fun rather than frightening. They turned what could have been a stressful experience into something my son looks forward to.

Technical Excellence: They taught proper breathing and swimming techniques so effectively that my son is now completely comfortable submerging underwater – something I never thought possible just weeks ago!

Well-Equipped Facility & Personalised Service: The swimming school is well equipped with quality gear. When we mentioned we were planning a snorkelling trip, Rukesh and William went above and beyond by introducing my son to snorkelling using their own equipment, preparing him perfectly for our family adventure.

Parent Communication: After each lesson, they provided detailed recaps of progress and practical guidance on how we could support his development during our own swimming time.

The transformation in my son has been nothing short of remarkable. Rukesh and William don’t just teach swimming – they build confidence, overcome barriers, and create positive experiences that last a lifetime. Any parent, especially those with children who have additional needs, would be incredibly fortunate to have these coaches work with their child.

Thank you both for your patience, expertise, and genuine care!

My 7yo used to be scared of water, and now swimming is the absolute highlight of his week! This incredible transformation is greatly thankful to Coach Vanessa and Coach William.

Coach Vanessa is patient and caring, while Coach William is always attentive and encouraging. They’re super supportive, building confidence with kindness – never pushy, always gentle, and totally professional. Beyond teaching swimming; they’re truly building courage, joy, and lifelong skills.

Highly recommend if you are looking for a supportive, skillful, and heartwarming place for swimming lessons!

Swimin12 is a great place for kids and adults to adventure into the world of water. The coaches are amazing, well trained and handle the students with care. They make swimming as a fun learning sports at the same time promise greater heights for endless achievements.

I highly recommend sending your child (or yourself) here! They handle my special son professionally, and seeing both of my sons happy and learning here makes us parents happy too. Don’t worry, they are truly professional. The place is also really comfortable, with plenty of parking available.

My 6yo and 10yo had a blast during their short summer vacation back in Malaysia. 6yo used to be afraid of water and after a couple of sessions, swimming is her favorite. Coaches are skillful at getting the the kids attention to learn the fun way. Will definitely come back again next summer.

My kids have been at Bleu Fish Swim School for more than 2 years, a fantastic swimming centre with skilled-loving-patient coaches who emphasize on water safety. Coaches here do not rush kids to level up, they teach with a lot of patience and care , make sure the kids are able to master the techniques well, reminding them all the time. If need be, some private time with the kids alone to explain and demonstrate. My kids love the lessons here, they talked about how much fun the class is. My kids went from afraid of getting their face wet to swimming confidently on their own which is heart-warming for me. My son is always reluctant to leave the pool after swimming lessons , as they can have 5 mins playtime too. Sometimes coaches plays with them too, there is bonding between the kids and coach, not just come in for lesson, times -up, then bye bye type. The shower rooms here are clean, equipped with water heater. There is an air conditioned waiting area for parents equipped with CCTV where we can see the kids learn. Thank you to all the coached who teaches with passion and administrative personals as well, the coordination of lesson slots never had any hiccups.

My son is 4 years old, previously was terrified with the deep pool but the coaches here are very gentle and patient with him. They have never pushed nor pressured him. He is now very comfortable and confident in the water. It is always difficult to get him out of the water at the end of every class as he enjoys it so much. Sometimes the coaches will demo to the parents what the child learns at the end of class so we know the progression. The pool can get packed at times but overall we have a pleasant experience here. The admin staffs are also very friendly, helpful and accommodating. Really glad I found this place.

Really enjoyed the kids swim classes here. The indoor heated pool is perfect for you kids and the small class sizes mean you get plenty of attention from the qualified instructors. Love that they have heated bathrooms too – makes getting changed so much more comfortable. Convenient location in OUG with good safety measures in place is a plus too

Bleufish 真的是我们家的”老朋友”了，从孩子幼儿园开始学游泳，一路陪到现在小学，看着他们从怕水到现在游得像小鱼一样，真的很感动。

每周的游泳课不只是孩子的运动时间，也是我自己的放松时光。孩子去上课，我就能喘口气，喝杯咖啡、刷刷手机，享受属于妈妈的”me time”。这种小确幸真的很重要！

教练们都特别有耐心，也很懂孩子，孩子每次上完课都特别开心，还会主动分享今天学了什么动作。作为家长，看到孩子在安全又开心的环境里成长，真的很安心。

感谢 Bleufish，一直以来的陪伴和用心！

This swimming center has been an amazing place to learn and grow. The coach is always patient, encouraging, and truly cares about every student. The facilities are clean and well-maintained, and the learning environment is super friendly.

I recently enrolled my child in this swim school, and it’s fantastic! The instructors are patient, professional, and great with kids of all ages. They create a fun, safe, and supportive environment, helping kids learn essential swimming skills.

The curriculum is well-structured, focusing on safety and skill development at each child’s pace. My child has improved significantly in confidence and swimming ability.

The facilities are clean and well-maintained, with friendly staff ready to help. I highly recommend this swim school for quality lessons. It truly stands out for its dedication to excellence and child-friendly approach.

Thanks to all Bleufish coaches, staffs, volunteers and organisers for the awesome OWS clinic and training today!

We can see all of your dedication, professionalism and passion to ensure the kids are safe and most importantly not afraid to swim in the sea.

My kid had a blast of fun today, making new friends and built his courage!

Great job once again and looking forward to the next session!

As a first‑time swimmer stepping into the National Aquatic Centre at Bukit Jalil, I was immediately struck by the scale—an Olympic‑size 50 × 25 m main pool, a diving well, plus an 8‑lane training pool with a sloping shallow end (1.2 m) rising to 1.8 m—ideal for nervous beginners

The pools are covered by a fabric dome, which made me feel sheltered and warmer than expected, and the water felt pleasantly temperate . However, sessions are limited to one hour per entry (RM8‑10), and lifeguards tend to blow the whistle a few minutes early—meaning actual swim time felt squeezed to about 45 minutes

On the plus side, the lanes are well‑maintained, and the Cafe and seating area nearby make for comfortable breaks. The changing rooms are functional but can be less than sparkling—showers sometimes leak and floors need better upkeep.

Verdict: For a beginner, it’s an impressive and encouraging venue—spacious, warm, and structured—with clear lane markings and depth options. But be prepared for brief sessions, early ejections, and less‑than‑pristine changing rooms. For improvement, a longer swim slot and cleaner facilities would make future visits even more inviting.

This swimming pool is cater for good swimmers because there are only lanes length wise. DSA is dominating the pool with signages everywhere that makes me think it is not meant for public swimming. Even the front big reception counter is for the academy and one needs to ask in order to find the public counter which doubles as a pro shop. The reason that I give 4 stars is mainly for a modern and clean environment that is hard to come by in public areas. This review is from the perspective of a person swimming as a public visitor.

This facility is not really for the public. They charge entry prices for public swimmers but only allow them to swim in the shallow pool with swimming lanes.

The main olympic swimming pool or the deep pool with the springboards are mostly vacant and off limits entirely for the public and reserved for the occasional course that takes place there.

Wanna jump? Wanna go ringdiving? You can’t.

Such a waste.

In typical malaysian fashion, noone in charge of this facility thought to themselves how this facility can be better for and provide more value for people coming here. No. Just close the majority of the facility off and let the public enter the kids pool.

Even if there are teams that train at this facility, for which it makes sense to reserve some space, the pools are still mostly vacant most of the time.

And the tragic irony is that they can probably be this nonchalant about wasting this facility because they receive government money, our taxes.

Furthermore they require male swimmers to wear skin tight swimming shorts. It is prohibited to wear slightly loose swimming trunks. I have never encountered such a rule anywhere in europe where I grew up.

What are muslim swimmers supposed to do who don’t want to show off their butt in skin tight clothes? This in a country like Malaysia? What is this nonsense?

Great place here. There is a cafe with great food for swimmers to eat after swimming. The pool is kept quite clean although the public pool can be a bit dirty sometimes. Starting blocks aren’t allowed to be used during public swimming. There is also swim training here and I definitely recommend to enroll your kids. Overall great place as an aquatic centre and probably is the best one here in KL.

Pictures and videos shown here are when I was at the Milo Para swimming Championships.

Every time when I go swimming, I m very afraid to get tanned under hot sun or need to stand with cold water during rain season. Finally found a fully covered place with warm water to swim. Nice! Hopefully our govt can build more center like this to encourage citizen to swim. The downside is you only can swim 1 hour which is not enough. The nearest car park is zone D or you may park right in front of the center if they allow you to drive in.

this is a clean public swimming pool conveniently located about 200m walking distance from Bukit Jalil station. Need to take note of the slot timing in the daily schedule

Survey swimming lesson for my son. Swimming poor is clean and nice.

Not sure about the couch.

Swimming lessons are good. However, in their quest to accommodate more customers, space have been sacrificed and the place have became crowded and stuffy.

Main issue is cleanliness. Upon highlighting this, was told the Coaches are the cleaners. However, this is a very bad and poor decision by the Management. Getting a full time Cleaner especially on Saturdays and Sundays is needed as the toilets and bathrooms need constant cleaning after use.

Neglect can be clearly seen (as shown in photo of exhaust fan in the toilet). Proper ventilation is also needed as the entire area is stuffy and hot when there are lots of people.

Swimmers will not be feeling cold (as claimed by the staff) as the swimming pool is heated. It would not be nice for those who have alrwady taken their showers but to get sweaty during blow-drying their hair due to the stuffy area.

Swimmers should also be barred from going out of the wet area (especially to the Dispensing Machine) for drinks as they will wet the floor, making it dangerous to others walking around the area.

真的很推荐这家游泳学院！环境干净舒服，教练都非常有耐心又亲切，小朋友原本很怕水，现在每次都超期待上课，还会自己练习，进步真的很大，也越来越有信心了。感谢这边的团队一直以来的用心和陪伴，真的很值得信赖！

Loved the experience!
The coaches provided strict but caring guidance, which really pushed us to improve.
Saw great progress in such a short time — truly thankful for their dedication and support! ❤️

Although it was my boy’s first time training (replacement class) with Coach Hong Riang, I appreciate how engaged he was throughout and how quickly he corrected my boy’s swimming posture when needed. I look forward to seeing my boy progress under Coach Hong Riang guidance!

Getting bad. Not recommended.

Point of view :
1) added a new pool, become super crowded during class change over
2) facilities not really well maintaining
3) keep on seeing new coaches face
4) due to turnover of coaches, I doubt the learning progress of a student
5) allowing parent standing at pool side and kept taking photos of the kids
6) feel like they are prioritised quantity rather then quality now

A new up and coming swimming centre, suitable for young children to learn swimming. Facilities are clean & well equipped with flippers and pool kickboards for students usage.

The instructors and staff here are dedicated, well-trained and the service provided is world-class. Location is easily accessible from the main road and fees are reasonable.

换了电话号码也没有通知顾客，然后也没有follow up 课程。

Well organised swim training programmes for all age levels and skills. The training pools for the squad training is a competition pool used for various state and National level competitions. Counter and pool staff are polite and helpful. Shower facilities could be improved though as the doors of some shower stalls could not be locked or the shower is not working.

Recently no more chairs at the aircond office for parents to sit while waiting for class. Weather can be humid outside. Brought own camping chair to sit but wasn’t allowed. Hope the management consider to look into this.

The instructors were knowledgeable, patient, and dedicated to helping everyone improve their swimming skills. The well-structured lessons catered to all levels, and I felt comfortable and safe throughout. The facilities were clean and well-maintained, adding to the overall positive atmosphere. I’m truly grateful for my kids progress they made and the confidence they gained in the water. I highly recommend this swimming school to anyone looking to learn or enhance their swimming abilities.

One of the best swimming academy in Malaysia that produces national level athletes. Most systematic teaching system, based my experience with other swimming academy d swim is one of the best that you can check progress online. Also the courses fee is on par with other or I would said slightly cheaper but the teaching quality is top notch.

DSA is good but going into the stadium and the parking is not too good.. those RELA and staff so rude keep scolding us, fighting with us

This is the best swimming pool I ever used, but something it can be improved, for example, the changing room for OKU, please add some more hooks and put a bench or stool there, it would be very useful for old people like me.

We have autistic daughter attending this centre since April. Lessons wise has been good. But however we are annoyed with the management. It is hard as it is to find an instructor to teach our autistic daughter to learn how to swim, and it is even harder to find one in our area. That is why we decided to go for an hour back to back lessons with the same teacher thinking it would be worth our time travelling from afar. Our daughter classes was supposed to be from 12 noon to 1 pm, however midway through her lessons we were contacted by someone from the management stating that the 12.30noon -1pm class has been cancelled. Instead they will pushed that slot to 11.30am, without even mentioning to us that it will be under a different teacher. So imagine our surprise when we find out our one hour back to back class was divided between 2 teachers at separate section of the pool, which makes it unrealistic, unlogical, especially for our autistic daughter. We were told to deal with it with the management, which we did. But instead of giving us a clear answer, we were told that they will get back to us on this matter. WHICH THEY NEVER DID. Instead i would say almost every week for the past 1-2 months we encountered this issue during i assume “roll call”. Mind you, up to this date, we have discussed this matter at the counter at least 3 times, and until now we have not received any answers. And today was the final straw for me when i was gestured to pluck my daughter out from the pool to another teacher’s class when i thought this issue has long been sorted.

My son has been attending Aquabubs since he was 3 years old, and now he is 6. The coaches here are very experienced, especially in handling young kids, and they know how to make the lessons fun and engaging. The pool and facilities are very well maintained, which is important to us. My son definitely loves this place and looks forward to his swimming class every week.

We absolutely **LOVE** Aquabubs! My son has been learning here since he was just **4 months old**, and now at **4 years old**, he’s thriving thanks to the amazing team. The **facility is always clean, well-maintained, and child-friendly**, making every lesson comfortable and enjoyable.

A special shout-out to **Teacher Aman**, who is **patient, skilled, and so friendly**—my son adores him! The support from the staff is incredible too, especially **Ms. Ika**, the **fantastic deck supervisor ** who always ensures everything runs smoothly.

It’s been an incredible **4-year journey** with Aquabubs, and we couldn’t be happier with the progress and the warm, nurturing environment. **Highly recommend** to any parent looking for a top-notch swim school!

**Thank you, Aquabubs!**

My two boys have been taking lessons at Aquabubs for almost two years, first in Bangsar and now in United Point. The facilities are modern, very clean, and everything is provided for all ages of children to change, shower, and have fun (from babies). The teachers are all very professional, kind, and educational. My children started at 18 months and 3.5 years old, they have always been confident and have made very good progress. The teachers adapt to the children’s needs, even in group lessons. They learn while having fun and are always happy to go to their lessons. Even my children, who are shy and have difficulty accepting changes, easily moved from one teacher to another. The entire teaching team is great, don’t forget to mention the administrative team, very accommodating and attentive to specific situations. I can only recommend the swimming school.

PS. I forgot to mention the original and very professional holiday camps like the snorkeling one my son attended.

It is a babies and kids friendly swim school. Even the toilets are purpose made for kids. My daughter improved a lot after joining Aquabubs under Teacher Harry and Teacher Kevin. They have step by step syllabus to make sure kids love swimming and know how to swim. Other facilities like nursing room, small playing area, pantry, waiting area etc are available. Sometimes they will have safety week and other events to keep swimming lesson interesting. Since it is indoor pool, we can still attend the class in rainy day. This school is strongly recommended.

The teachers are very creative in making classes interesting for the child. They are also great in supporting the child in overcoming their fears.

My daughter join aquabubs since 1.5yo until now, she make a good progress so far. Aquabubs gv her more confident inside water!

Teachers and staff in united point branch are friendly and caring.. highly recommend to join their swimming lessons at Aquabubs, the facilities here are great.

Swimming:
1) Everything is well organized
2) Progress can be check via DSA website. Can also ask input from teachers and accessors
3) Price: seems standard
4) Flexibility provided in rescheduling session
5) My son is autistic – they do accept him into the normal classes after doing the assessment
6) Progression assessment seems to be strict but i think there is a standard that they are upholding to. So as parents, need to assess whether your children is learning from the right teacher, do make changes if needed.

Facilities:
1) Alot of covered benches for parents to seat and observe,
2) Food: Vending machine and there is a cafe available
3) Shower/toilet and changing rooms available (hot shower and body wash provided)

I send my kid here, D Swim has a very systematic way to teach swimming which focus on getting every aspect to be correct such as stroke, breathing, core, position…etc before advancing to next level. “Can swim dosen’t meant you swim correct & efficient”, so Im 100% recommend D swim over many swimming school out there.

I signed up as an adult learner since I never fully learnt how to do all strokes when I was a child. From my observation, it’s a really good place for both adults and kids. The facilities are clean and well maintained, lifeguards are always standing by the pool and the instructor I got at least was quite clear in his instructions. From the first day, I was never made to feel embarrassed for not doing simple strokes properly and was always treated with respect and patience.

Please skip this academy if you plan to sent your kid for swimming class..my kid spent nearly 6 months here but very limited progress.

1. 1 hour session for 5 kids
2. Keep on changing instructor/ teacher
3. Pricey
4. Crowded places and the facilities shower and toilet need to upgrade and repair

I sent my kid to one on one session within the same monthly fee at other place. After 2 sessions only my kid now manage to float and swim confidently.

It is frustrating to connect with them on WhatsApp as they reply once a day. I think management needs to look into this matter seriously

I am incredibly grateful for the outstanding coaching provided by Mr Levenesswaran . His expertise, patience, and personalized approach significantly improved my sons’ swimming skills. His positive encouragement and effective techniques made each session enjoyable and productive. Highly recommended!

We’ve been here for the past 7 years and i hv 2 children here. Very nice venue, covered so you are clear to swim even when it rains unlike other places. clean, well maintained, and they are doing reno to the toilets and changing rooms now.
that being said, the classes hv a bit too many kids. i can count the times my kids’ names called by the teachers, they just cant remember. not their fault, its their system. the assessments are very strange, even us with our 7 years there feel that the assessments are just to drag the lessons.
however, there are no lack of coaches there. but i think to get the most of the coaching, you hv to understand how your children learn and get to know the coaches. some coaches are very very nice and soft spoken, some are very very strict and loud. both are suitable for different kinds of learning. we like coach waran, coach fong bee etc because my kids need attention and focus for them to learn better as opposed to jumping around playing in the water but not even a reprimand from the coaches. for example, coach waran, especially, will call out to kids to correct their stroke and demonstrate how the stroke should be. my 10 yr once had a different coach coz we had to change to sunday and he complained that the coach only “tell” him what to do, without demonstration. he cannot understand. and when he doesn’t understand, he will not focus.
All in all, we have not found a more comparable academy.
