The Daffodil Swimming Lessons

The Daffodil Swimming Lessons

The Daffodil is a completed 65-home apartment development at 568 Upper East Coast Road in District 16. The URA-derived dwelling dataset records 65 homes at postcode 466584. Current exact-estate records identify Wing Fong Development Pte Ltd as developer and place completion around 1998 or 1999.

Current management information identifies The Daffodil as MCST Plan No. 2423 at the same address. Multiple current exact-estate sources identify a swimming pool, while management-directory material separately lists a spa pool. This supports preparing a resident swimming guide without treating the spa area as conventional lesson water.

Quick answer

Residents may enquire about kids, adult, beginner, ladies, private or compatible small-group swimming lessons. Coaching depends on management permission for the named external instructor, resident-arranged access, an approved swimming section and instructor availability.

The ordinary swimming pool is the area to assess for lessons. Its length, depths, present condition, lanes and availability are not established by the reviewed public sources.

Verified project identity and 65-home count

The URA-derived row records one address, postcode 466584 and 65 homes. Listings.sg, PropertyMart, 99.co and current estate information independently associate The Daffodil with 568 Upper East Coast Road and the same residential scale.

Current management sources identify active MCST 2423 at 568 Upper East Coast Road. This exact address and MCST pairing separates the Singapore estate from similarly named buildings and overseas projects.

Accessible sources differ slightly on whether completion should be labelled 1998 or 1999. This guide describes the development as completed and reports the range rather than inventing a precise TOP date. The difference does not affect the current access or pool-suitability checks required for lessons.

Evidence for the swimming pool

Estate.sg's exact-development information lists a swimming pool and a spa pool. Current Listings.sg and other exact-estate platforms also identify the swimming pool at The Daffodil, while current listings continue to advertise access to it.

The agreement across exact-development sources, together with the completed estate and active MCST identity, is sufficient for a controlled guide. It is not evidence of unrestricted commercial coaching.

The reviewed sources do not establish the pool's measured length, width, depths, lane markings, opening hours, present maintenance condition or a reserved teaching area. Those details remain deliberately unclaimed.

Keep the spa pool separate

The spa pool is separately labelled from the swimming pool. Spa-style water may contain jets, seats, ledges, warmer water or restricted circulation and should not substitute for a clear swimming route.

Management may apply different rules to each water area. The instructor should use only the section explicitly approved for coaching and should keep learners away from spa equipment and restricted zones.

Nearby beaches, East Coast Park water and pools at neighbouring estates are unrelated to The Daffodil's lesson area and do not support claims about its facilities.

Management and security approval

The Daffodil is private residential property. A resident invitation does not automatically authorise paid instruction or provide independent access for an external coach.

Ask the managing agent or MCST whether the named coach, learner count and lesson format are allowed. Confirm visitor preregistration, identification, resident accompaniment, qualifications, insurance, indemnity and notice requirements.

Also verify permitted coaching hours, equipment rules, photography restrictions, participant limits and any pool-booking arrangement. Current by-laws, notices and security directions override portal descriptions and previous access practices.

First-session assessment

Before recurring lessons begin, verify:

• the correct entrance and security procedure;
• the approved pool-deck meeting point;
• permission for the named coach and participants;
• the exact swimming section approved for instruction;
• measured usable distance and depth changes;
• walls, steps, ladders and recovery points;
• slopes, ledges, drains, jets and restricted areas;
• clear separation from the spa pool;
• deck grip, drainage, shade and glare;
• visibility across the teaching route;
• normal resident traffic and shared use;
• cleaning, maintenance and closure periods;
• lightning shelter and emergency procedures; and
• rules for floats, kickboards, fins and other aids.

Kids swimming lessons

Young beginners may practise safe entry, bubbles, face immersion, supported balance, kicking and returning to a reachable wall. The selected area must suit the child's height, confidence, communication needs and recovery ability.

School-age learners may develop streamlining, freestyle and backstroke coordination, breaststroke timing, treading water and practical self-rescue habits. Repetitions should fit the measured route and adapt to residents sharing the pool.

Parents should disclose relevant medical, sensory or learning needs and remain available when required. Active adult supervision continues around both swimming and spa water.

Adult beginner and stroke coaching

Adult beginners can start with calm exhalation, balance, floating, recovery to standing and short controlled movement near a suitable wall. Nervous learners should progress gradually without pressure to enter deeper water.

Water-confident adults may work on alignment, breathing rhythm, catch, rotation, breaststroke efficiency, turns and pacing. The coach should adapt drills to the verified distance, shape and traffic instead of assuming standard lanes.

Tell the instructor about injuries, mobility limits or difficult experiences in water. Another venue may be recommended when the approved section cannot safely support the goal.

Ladies and female-instructor requests

Ladies may request a female swimming instructor for comfort, cultural preference, privacy or safeguarding. Matching depends on coach availability, Upper East Coast coverage, schedule and management-approved access.

The pool remains shared and may be visible from homes or common areas. A female coach does not create a women-only environment or guarantee visual privacy.

Private and small-group formats

One-to-one lessons provide focused feedback and flexible pacing, but they do not reserve the pool or give priority over residents.

Small groups may suit siblings, couples or neighbours with similar abilities. Participant count must comply with management rules and allow continuous supervision. Mixed levels, busy water or poor sightlines may require separate sessions.

Equipment must remain clear of steps, ladders and emergency routes. The instructor should pause or reschedule when shared use makes coaching unsafe or disruptive.

Scheduling, weather and closures

Residents can propose several weekday or weekend options after checking opening hours, maintenance and typical pool use. No recurring slot should be promised before access and instructor availability are confirmed.

Outdoor lessons must stop during lightning warnings and whenever heavy rain, poor visibility, contamination, slippery decking or management directions make continuation unsafe. Agree how weather, closures and failed access affect credits or make-up lessons.

Fees and booking expectations

Fees depend on duration, format, participant count, instructor match, travel and access requirements. Review the SwimmingClasses.sg fees and rates guide and request a current written quotation.

The quotation should state session length, participants, payment timing, cancellation notice, package validity and access assumptions. Confirm management permission before buying multiple lessons.

Water safety and SwimSafer

Condo lessons may build confidence, floating, recovery and strokes relevant to broader water-safety goals. The Daffodil is not presented as an official SwimSafer assessment venue without separate programme and venue confirmation.

Frequently asked questions

Does The Daffodil have a swimming pool?

Yes. Multiple current exact-development sources identify its swimming pool, supported by the exact estate and active MCST identity.

Can lessons use the spa pool?

No conventional lesson use should be assumed. It is separately labelled and may contain features unsuitable for swimming instruction.

Can an external swimming instructor enter?

Only when management and security approve the named coach and the resident completes all required arrangements.

Is the pool suitable for every learner?

Not automatically. Its current depths, access points, traffic, condition and usable route require an on-site assessment.

Was The Daffodil completed in 1998 or 1999?

Accessible sources use both years. This guide treats it as completed and does not rely on an unsupported precise date.

Sources and review note

Identity and scale were reviewed on 28 August 2026 using the URA-derived dwelling dataset, current MCST information and exact-estate records. Aquatic evidence comes from multiple current sources naming the swimming pool at the exact development.

Current measurements, depths, condition, rules and paid-coach permission remain unverified. The separately reported spa pool and unrelated nearby water are excluded from conventional lesson planning.
