The Marque @ Irrawaddy Swimming Lessons

The Marque @ Irrawaddy Swimming Lessons

The Marque @ Irrawaddy is a completed 48-home freehold apartment development at 8 Shan Road, Singapore 328108. The URA-derived dwelling dataset, authenticated project material, active management record and current exact-estate sources support the identity, Roxy Homes Pte Ltd developer and 2009 completion.

Current exact-development records identify a swimming pool and pool deck. No reliable source reviewed confirms a lap length, width, depths, lane markings, current condition or permission for paid external coaching. A portal response suggesting that swimmers seeking a large lap pool may be disappointed is opinion, not measurement evidence.

Quick answer

Residents may enquire about kids, adult, beginner, ladies, private or compatible small-group swimming lessons at a management-approved section of the swimming pool. Lessons depend on approval for the named instructor, resident-arranged access, coach availability and an on-site assessment.

The pool's existence does not establish a measured teaching route, suitable standing depth, reserved lane or automatic permission for organised instruction. The available water may require short-distance drills or a different venue for some goals.

Verified development identity

The URA-derived row records 48 dwellings at postcode 328108. The authenticated project material identifies Roxy Homes Pte Ltd and the Irrawaddy Road site lots, while current exact-development records consistently identify 8 Shan Road, freehold tenure and 48 homes.

The brochure originally expected TOP by January 2012, but current EdgeProp, Cashew.sg and transaction records identify 2009 completion. An expected brochure date is not the same as an actual operating milestone, so this guide uses 2009 while noting the earlier marketing schedule.

The active management record identifies MCST 3588. Current BCA-derived information associates it with The Marque @ Irrawaddy and a current managing agent, but all management contacts and rules should be reconfirmed before booking.

This project must not be confused with The Marq on Paterson Hill, Marbella, other “Marque” developments or nearby Irrawaddy Road condominiums. The exact 8 Shan Road address must match.

Pool evidence and claim limits

Cashew.sg's exact-development register identifies a swimming pool and pool deck, and current project imagery and directory records support the same pool identity. The official-development material available through the brochure source supports the project and developer identity, but its accessible text does not establish pool dimensions.

No reviewed source confirms length, width, depth, lane count, slope, heating, competition certification or exclusive teaching space. This page therefore makes no 20-metre, 25-metre, 30-metre, 50-metre, Olympic-size, lap-pool or reserved-lane claim.

A PropertyGuru question response discusses the likely pool size based on the project's plot width. That is an inference rather than a measured facility record and is excluded. The instructor must measure the usable route and verify recovery points before distance-based instruction.

No separate children's pool, spa pool, Jacuzzi or decorative-water facility is claimed without stronger exact-estate evidence. If secondary water is present on site, it must be identified and assessed separately.

Management and security approval

The Marque @ Irrawaddy is private residential property. A resident invitation does not automatically authorise commercial coaching or independent visitor entry.

Before booking, ask MCST 3588 or the current managing agent whether the named instructor, learner count and proposed format are permitted. Confirm visitor preregistration, identification, resident accompaniment, qualifications, insurance, indemnity and notice requirements.

Also verify approved coaching hours, equipment, photography, participant limits and facility-booking procedures. Current by-laws, notices and security directions override brochure schedules, property portals and previous arrangements.

First-session pool assessment

Before recurring lessons begin, verify:

• the approved entrance and meeting point;
• permission for the coach and every learner;
• the exact pool section approved for teaching;
• measured usable distance, width and depth changes;
• walls, steps, ladders, slopes and recovery points;
• drains, ledges, jets and restricted features;
• deck grip, drainage, shade, wind and glare;
• visibility along the planned teaching route;
• any secondary or decorative water areas;
• normal resident traffic and shared use;
• cleaning, maintenance and closure schedules;
• lightning shelter and emergency procedures; and
• rules for floats, kickboards, fins and other aids.

The instructor should change the plan or recommend another venue if the approved pool cannot safely support the learner's objective.

Kids swimming lessons

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

School-age learners may develop streamlining, coordinated strokes, treading water and practical self-rescue habits. Repetition distances should follow the measured usable route rather than an assumed lap length.

Parents should disclose medical, sensory, behavioural or learning needs and remain available when required. Non-participating children need separate adult supervision around the pool deck.

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 move into deeper water.

Water-confident adults may work on alignment, breathing rhythm, stroke efficiency and turns. Drills must fit measured dimensions and shared use rather than assuming a long or reserved lane.

Tell the coach about injuries, mobility limits, medical considerations or difficult water experiences. Another venue may be recommended for endurance goals if the usable route is short or heavily shared.

Ladies and female-instructor requests

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

The pool is communal and may be visible from residences or common areas. A female instructor does not make the setting women-only, reserve the water or guarantee privacy.

Private and small-group formats

One-to-one lessons provide focused feedback and flexible pacing, but “private” describes the coaching format rather than exclusive pool use. Other residents retain normal access unless management states otherwise.

Small groups may suit learners with similar ability and goals. Participant numbers must comply with management rules and allow continuous supervision. A compact pool, mixed levels or opposing traffic may require separate sessions.

Scheduling, weather and closures

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

Outdoor lessons must stop during lightning warnings and unsafe weather. Agree how weather, maintenance, 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.

Confirm duration, participants, payment timing, cancellation notice, package validity and management permission before buying multiple lessons.

Water safety and SwimSafer

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

Frequently asked questions

How long is the pool?

No reliable reviewed source confirms its length. The usable route and depths must be measured on site.

Is it suitable for endurance training?

That depends on measured distance, shared use and management rules. Another venue may be better for long continuous sets.

Can an external instructor enter?

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

Is this The Marq on Paterson Hill?

No. This guide covers only The Marque @ Irrawaddy at 8 Shan Road, Singapore 328108.
