SWIMSAFER 2.0

SwimSafer was introduced in July 2010 by the National Water Safety Council (NWSC), a council appointed by then the Ministry of Community, Youth and Sports (MCYS).

​

SwimSafer was enhanced in 2018 to better equip participants with more rigorous water survival and swimming competency skills. The enhanced SwimSafer 2.0 programme comes with a revised learning syllabus and assessment criteria.  Instructors were also put through enhanced training and re-certification. 

​

SwimSafer 2.0 is the National Water Safety Programme designed to emphasize the importance of safety around aquatic environments. The programme aims to teach swimming proficiency and water survival skills in a fun manner. There are 6 progressive levels.  Upon successful completion of each stage, an e-certificate will be issued to each participant.
