Swimming isn’t just a hobby or competitive sport; it’s a life skill that could come in handy in emergencies, too. As a plus, it’s the ideal sport to beat the heat this summer — you hit two birds with one stone! To help you find the best swimming clinic for your kids, we’ve listed five options in Metro Manila, so you can get them started right away.
White Dolphins Swimming Clinic
This humble little swimming clinic is located in Teacher’s Village, Quezon City. They offer courses for toddlers and adults in 10 one-hour chunks, and even have special courses for those with hydrophobia, helping others conquer their fear.
White Dolphins Swimming Clinic also provides private tutorials either at your home or in their own venue. Their beginner courses start with toddlers aged three to five and can be done in 10 one-hour sessions at PHP 5,000. This makes for the perfect way to jumpstart your kids’ swim journey!

If you’re looking to impart swimming as a skill to your kids, Swimtravel Philippines approaches swimming as a valuable life lesson. As they say, swimming is a sport that can save your child’s life. They have multiple venues and schedules for all their lessons, making them flexible to your schedule.
At three private, two-hour sessions for PHP 6,200, Swimtravel’s course can be done relatively quickly and at your convenience. They do require your kids to be between eight to 15 years old in line with their tighter teaching methods.
Swimbeavers Swim School PH
Swimbeavers PH is a swimming clinic that offers a wider range of classes for kids of all ages. From toddlers, school-age, teenagers, and even adults, Swimbeavers PH makes learning how to swim a simple and smooth process.
They have numerous locations all over Metro Manila, from Quezon City, Makati, to Valenzuela. Each one offers in-person one-hour lessons, making it easy to squeeze into your schedule.

Whether you’re young, old, a new student, or training for competition, the Bert Lozada Swim School has something for you.
