The Florentine Swimming Lessons

The Florentine Swimming Lessons

The Florentine is a completed 34-home residential development at 68 and 70 Florence Road, Singapore 549555 and 549561. The URA-derived dwelling dataset records 34 homes across the two exact postcodes. Current management information identifies active MCST Plan No. 3759, and current project records use 2011 as the completion year.

Multiple current exact-development sources identify a swimming pool and Jacuzzi. Some also identify a wading or children’s pool. These labels support a resident lesson guide, but current measurements, depth, condition and coaching permission remain unverified.

Quick answer

Residents may enquire about kids, adult, beginner, ladies, private or compatible small-group swimming lessons. Coaching depends on management approval for the named external instructor, resident-arranged access, an instructor match and an on-site assessment of the approved ordinary swimming pool.

The main swimming pool is the area to assess for conventional instruction. The Jacuzzi and secondary child- or wading-labelled water require separate checks and should not replace the main route automatically.

Verified project identity and 34-home count

The URA-derived row records two postcodes and 34 dwellings. Current 99.co and BCA-derived records connect The Florentine with both 68 and 70 Florence Road, two blocks and 34 homes. Current management information lists the development location as 70 Florence Road and active MCST 3759.

PropertyGuru and project-sales material commonly use 68 Florence Road as the main address. Residents should confirm the correct visitor entrance and pool-deck route with management rather than assuming either block provides coach access.

Current records agree on Roxy Homes Pte Ltd as developer and completion in 2011. Tenure labels differ: some portals call it freehold, while 99.co and BCA-derived information use a 947-year leasehold. The page does not rely on tenure for aquatic evidence and retains the discrepancy.

The Florence Residences, Florence Regency, Florence Green, Florentine Estates overseas and Italian properties are separate. Their pools and rules are excluded.

Evidence for the swimming pool and Jacuzzi

Current PropertyGuru, BCA-derived, management-related and exact-development records identify a swimming pool and Jacuzzi. Current 99.co also lists both facilities and a pool deck. Singapore condo directories independently support the same ordinary and specialised water labels.

This evidence verifies facility names, not present length, width, depth, lane markings, water quality, temperature, maintenance condition, opening hours or external-coach access. No lap-pool, Olympic-size, 50-metre, infinity or private-pool claim is made.

A historical review described the pool as unsuitable for serious swimming. That subjective opinion does not establish measurements, but it reinforces the need to assess usable distance before promising advanced or endurance work.

Separate secondary and Jacuzzi water

Current 99.co calls the secondary facility a wading pool, while another condo directory uses children’s pool. These labels may describe the same area, but they are not interchangeable safety specifications.

The Jacuzzi may contain jets, seats, ledges, warmer water or restricted circulation. Neither it nor the secondary pool should automatically replace the ordinary swimming pool for conventional lessons.

Management and the instructor must identify each current facility, depth, layout, age restriction and approved use. Children require active adult supervision around all water, including before and after lessons.

Management and security approval

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

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

Also verify approved coaching hours, equipment restrictions, photography rules, participant limits and any booking procedure. Current by-laws, notices and security directions override portal descriptions, old marketing material and previous access practices.

First-session assessment

Before recurring lessons begin, verify:

• whether visitor access uses 68 or 70 Florence Road;
• the approved pool-deck meeting point;
• permission for the named coach and participants;
• the exact ordinary swimming section approved for instruction;
• measured usable distance and depth changes;
• walls, steps, ladders and recovery points;
• slopes, ledges, drains, jets and restricted features;
• clear separation from Jacuzzi and secondary water;
• 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 chosen main-pool section 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. Repetition distances should follow the measured route rather than an assumed pool length.

Secondary water should only support a narrowly defined activity after approval. Parents should disclose relevant medical, sensory or learning needs and remain available when required.

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 and turns. The instructor should adapt drills to verified dimensions and resident traffic instead of assuming a standard lane.

Tell the coach about injuries, mobility limits or difficult water experiences. Another venue may be recommended if the approved section cannot safely support the intended 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, Florence Road 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 common pool or make it private.

Small groups may suit learners with similar abilities. Participant count must comply with management rules and allow continuous supervision. The 34-home scale does not guarantee quiet water, and mixed levels or opposing traffic may require separate sessions.

Equipment must remain clear of steps, ladders and emergency routes. The coach should pause or reschedule if shared use makes instruction unsafe or disruptive.

Scheduling, weather and closures

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

Outdoor lessons must stop during lightning warnings and whenever rain, poor visibility, contamination, slippery decking or management directions make continuation unsafe. Agree how 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 duration, 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 Florentine is not presented as an official SwimSafer assessment venue without separate programme and venue confirmation.

Frequently asked questions

Does The Florentine have a swimming pool?

Yes. Multiple current exact-development sources consistently identify one, together with a Jacuzzi.

Is the secondary pool a wading or children’s pool?

Sources use both labels. Its current identity, depth, layout and approved use must be confirmed on site.

Can lessons use the Jacuzzi?

It should not replace the main swimming pool. Its jets, seats, ledges and permitted use require separate assessment.

Can an external swimming instructor enter?

Only when management and security approve the named coach and the resident completes every required arrangement.

Is The Florence Residences the same project?

No. It is a much larger separate development with different addresses, management and facilities.

Sources and review note

Identity, scale and aquatic evidence were reviewed on 28 August 2026 using the URA-derived dwelling dataset, current management/BCA-derived information and multiple current exact-development records.

Current dimensions, depths, condition, rules and paid-coach permission remain unverified. The two-address and tenure variations are disclosed, specialised water is separated and namesakes are excluded.
