Appointment of Torpedo Swim School as the new NUSS Swimming Lessons Provider from 1 July 2022
The swimming contract with our incumbent Swimming Provider, Learn to Swim, will expire on 30 June 2022.
In March 2022, the Society conducted a tender exercise for Swimming Providers affiliated with the Singapore Swimming Association (SSA) to provide Swimming Lessons in NUSS. We received 6 submissions, including the incumbent swimming provider.
The Society has reviewed extensively the programmes submitted by these 6 Swimming Providers. After deliberation, the NUSS Management Committee has endorsed Torpedo Swim School as the Society’s new Swimming Provider with effect from July 2022. We are satisfied that Torpedo Swim School meets our requirements, and is also in a position to introduce new activities to our swimming programme. We are confident that with our new partner, Torpedo Swim School, NUSS will be able to take our swimming programmes further.
*Please note that we are not able to host zoom options as we would prefer to have an upfront discussion regarding this matter. We will send out the presentation slides after the 25th of June, if you are not able to attend.

We thank you for your continued support especially over the last 2 years of disruptions arising from safe management measures due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We look forward to your continued participation in our new swimming programme.
At the same time, we thank Learn to Swim and its head coach Desmond Yee for coaching our children all these years. We have no doubts that Desmond and his coaches have given the precious life skill of swimming to the children and have formed a bond with children / parents through the years.
