Coach Brandon

Meet Coach Brandon

Hey, I'm Brandon. I've been in and out of pools my entire life — not just as a swimmer, but as a captain, a competitor, and now a coach. My journey started with Water Polo, where I led teams at some of Singapore's most competitive levels. Today, that same drive fuels everything I do at Aquadon Swimming.

My goal is simple: to make every student feel safe, confident, and genuinely excited to get in the water. Whether you're a nervous 4-year-old or an adult who never got the chance to learn, I'll meet you exactly where you are.

The SwimSafer 2.0 Journey

SwimSafer 2.0 is Singapore's national water safety programme. At Aquadon, children progress through each stage in a structured, encouraging environment. Here's exactly what to expect at every step of your child's swimming journey.

1
Stage 1 — Water Confidence

Getting Comfortable in the Water

What Our Families Say

★★★★★

"My daughter used to cry every time we went near the pool. After just three sessions with Coach Brandon, she was jumping in on her own. His patience and calm approach completely transformed her relationship with water. We cannot recommend him enough."

S
Sarah Lim
Parent of 5-year-old
★★★★★

"Coach Brandon is exceptional. My son went from Stage 1 all the way to Stage 4 SwimSafer in under a year. He keeps the lessons fun, structured, and always explains what milestone comes next. As a parent, I love knowing exactly where my child is progressing."

M
Marcus Tan
Parent of 7-year-old
★★★★★

"We signed up our two kids together for the 1-to-2 package. Best decision ever. Both are now confident swimmers and actually look forward to their lessons every week. Coach Brandon has an incredible ability to connect with children and make them feel proud of every small win."

R
Rachel Ng
Parent of two children, ages 6 and 9
★★★★★

"I'm 34 and I was honestly embarrassed that I had never learned to swim. Coach Brandon made the whole experience completely non-judgmental. Within 8 lessons I was swimming freestyle independently. His approach with adults is incredibly reassuring. I only wish I had started sooner."

J
Jason Koh
Adult learner, age 34
★★★★★

"I have a fear of deep water that goes back to childhood. Coach Brandon was incredibly understanding and never once made me feel rushed. He broke everything down into tiny, manageable steps and celebrated every single milestone with me. I'm now swimming laps. Absolutely life-changing."

P
Priya Suresh
Adult learner, age 41
★★★★★

"My elderly mother and her friend wanted to learn swimming as a form of exercise. I honestly wasn't sure who would take that on, but Coach Brandon did so with so much care and professionalism. They are both now swimming regularly and it has genuinely improved their health and happiness."
