8 Farrer Suites Swimming Lessons
Residents may enquire about 8 Farrer Suites swimming lessons at 8 Sing Joo Walk, Singapore 217820. Exact-project records identify a 34-unit freehold development with a communal swimming pool and pool deck.
Kids, adults, ladies and compatible small groups may be considered after current management approval and an instructor's onsite assessment. Published descriptions and plans do not establish present pool dimensions, depths, condition, coaching access or availability.
Verified development identity
The URA-derived residential inventory records 8 Farrer Suites at postcode 217820 with 34 dwellings. Current 99.co and PropertyGuru records agree on the exact address, unit count, freehold tenure, five-storey development and Richcapital Pte Ltd as developer.
Completion references differ. 99.co presents June 2015, while PropertyGuru presents completion or TOP in 2017. This guide discloses that discrepancy rather than inventing a single formal TOP date. Management or the statutory record should be consulted if the exact date matters.
8 Farrer Suites is the development at 8 Sing Joo Walk. It is not Farrer Suites at Owen Road, Farrer Park Suites, Farrer Park View, Farrer Residence or another Sing Joo Walk property. Their facilities and visitor rules must not be transferred here.
Swimming-pool evidence
99.co's exact-project facilities record lists a swimming pool and pool deck at 8 Farrer Suites. PropertyGuru also describes the communal swimming pool and deck for the exact development. The exact-project brochure labels a swimming pool on its attic-storey plan.
These sources establish planned and recorded pool provision, but current operating condition must still be confirmed. No reviewed source establishes present length, width, depth profile, lane markings, opening hours, water quality or maintenance status.
No 25-metre, 50-metre, Olympic-size, certified-depth, reserved-lane or exclusive-use claim is made. An attic-storey location may affect access, wind, sun, weather exposure and evacuation procedures; the instructor must assess actual conditions rather than infer them from the brochure.
Management approval and instructor access
8 Farrer Suites is private residential property. A communal pool does not automatically permit paid coaching, an external instructor, lesson equipment or an organised group.
Before booking, the hosting resident should ask the current management office, managing agent, MCST or authorised representative whether the named coach, learner count, lesson format and proposed time are allowed. Confirm visitor registration, identification, advance notice, resident accompaniment, qualifications, insurance and any indemnity requirement.
Check rules on teaching aids, photography, waiting, noise and lessons during busy periods. Current by-laws, notices and security directions override brochure material, online records, previous entry and this guide.
Thirty-four homes share the facilities. A small development does not guarantee quiet water, automatic availability or exclusive use. No lesson should be described as reserving the pool or deck.
First-session pool assessment
Before recurring lessons, the instructor should inspect:
- the exact water area approved for instruction;
- measured usable length, width and depth transitions;
- steps, ladders, walls, ledges, drains and underwater features;
- water clarity, glare, wind, lighting and deck grip;
- sightlines and resident circulation around the pool;
- barriers, recovery points and emergency equipment;
- lightning shelter and attic-level evacuation procedures; and
- restrictions on teaching aids and poolside belongings.
The approved area must suit the learner and planned skills. If continuous supervision or safe recovery cannot be maintained, the coach should adapt the lesson, reduce participant count or recommend another venue.
Kids swimming lessons
Young beginners may practise safe entry, bubbles, face immersion, supported balance, floating, kicking and returning to a reachable edge. Start near an assessed wall where the instructor can maintain close support and recovery access.
School-age learners may progress to streamlining, breathing, stroke foundations, treading water and self-rescue habits. Practice distances should follow onsite measurement rather than scaling the brochure plan.
A responsible adult should remain reachable throughout the lesson and continue active supervision outside coached time. Lessons improve skills but do not remove drowning risk.
Adult beginner and technique lessons
Adults may enquire without prior swimming experience. Early sessions can cover calm exhalation, balance, floating, recovery to standing and movement near an assessed wall.
Water-confident adults may work on body position, breathing rhythm, propulsion, stroke coordination and efficiency within measured space. A public pool may be preferable for uninterrupted endurance work or goals requiring standard marked distances.
Share relevant medical, sensory or mobility considerations before the first lesson so the instructor can adjust entry, communication, rest and pace.
Ladies and female-instructor requests
Ladies may request a female swimming instructor for comfort or cultural preference. Matching depends on coach availability, schedule, Farrer Park coverage and successful access approval.
The pool remains communal and may be visible from homes or common areas. A female instructor does not create a women-only setting, reserve the water or guarantee privacy.
Private and small-group formats
One-to-one coaching offers focused feedback and flexible pacing. “Private” describes the teaching format and does not mean exclusive use of the 8 Farrer Suites pool.
A small group may suit learners of compatible age, confidence and goals. Management must permit it, and the instructor must supervise every participant without obstructing residents. Group size should follow the approved water area and current activity.
Scheduling, weather and interruptions
Weekday or weekend requests depend on pool hours, maintenance, resident use, instructor availability and visitor approval. Share the confirmed access procedure before the coach travels.
Outdoor lessons must stop during unsafe weather. Agree how lightning, heavy rain, strong wind, poor water quality, maintenance, crowding, closure or failed access affects cancellation and make-up lessons. The pool's elevated location makes an accurate current weather procedure especially important.
Fees and realistic progress
Fees vary with duration, format, participant count, instructor match, travel and access. No 8 Farrer Suites-specific price is invented. Review the swimming lesson fees and rates and request a written quotation.
Progress depends on starting ability, attendance, practice, confidence and pool conditions. No fixed lesson count, stroke result or water-safety outcome is guaranteed.
Water safety and SwimSafer
Condo lessons may support confidence, floating, recovery skills, strokes and safer habits. 8 Farrer Suites is not represented as an official SwimSafer assessment venue without separate confirmation of the programme, instructor and assessment location.
Lessons do not remove drowning risk. Children and weak swimmers require continuing active supervision outside coached sessions.
Frequently asked questions
Does 8 Farrer Suites have a swimming pool?
Yes. 99.co and PropertyGuru exact-project records list a swimming pool, and the exact-project brochure labels one on the attic-storey plan. Present condition and coaching permission still require confirmation.
Is there a pool deck?
Yes. 99.co and PropertyGuru identify a pool deck. It remains shared space and does not provide reserved lesson use.
How long and deep is the pool?
The reviewed evidence does not establish current measurements or depths. The instructor should assess the approved area before planning distances and skills.
Can an external instructor enter automatically?
No. The hosting resident must obtain current management and security approval for the named instructor and arrangement.
Was the development completed in 2015 or 2017?
99.co presents June 2015, while PropertyGuru presents 2017. Confirm the formal TOP record if an exact date is required.
