The Mint Residences Swimming Lessons

The Mint Residences Swimming Lessons

The Mint Residences is a completed 24-home freehold apartment development at 178 and 180 Joo Chiat Terrace, Singapore 427324 and 427326. The URA-derived dwelling dataset, active MCST 3479 record and multiple current exact-development sources support the two-address identity, scale and Oaktree Properties Pte Ltd developer.

A Singapore court exhibit records historical monthly swimming-pool maintenance and water testing for The Mint Residences MCST 3479. Multiple current exact-estate sources continue to identify a swimming pool, and some call it a lap pool. No reliable source reviewed confirms length, depth, lane markings, current condition or permission for paid external coaching.

Quick answer

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

The lap-pool label does not establish a measured lap length, marked lane, competition specification, standing depth, reserved space or automatic permission for organised instruction.

Verified development identity

The URA-derived row records 24 dwellings across postcodes 427324 and 427326. Current 99.co, SRX and EdgeProp records identify The Mint Residences at 178 and 180 Joo Chiat Terrace, with two blocks, 24 homes, freehold tenure and Oaktree Properties Pte Ltd.

The active management record identifies The Mint Residences as MCST 3479. Its displayed management address uses 178 Joo Chiat Place even though current project and transaction records consistently use Joo Chiat Terrace. This guide uses the residential street identity supported by the URA-derived and transaction records while preserving the management-record wording as a source discrepancy.

Completion references vary slightly. Current listings use December 2008, while structured project records and transaction reports commonly use 2009. The guide treats the development as completed without asserting an independently verified statutory TOP date.

The Mint Residences must not be confused with the much larger Mint Residences in Makati, Philippines, or with similarly named Singapore businesses and properties.

Aquatic evidence and claim limits

The Singapore court exhibit lists The Mint Residences MCST 3479 and records monthly maintenance of the swimming pool and water testing in July 2010. This is strong historical exact-MCST evidence that a swimming pool formed part of the estate.

Current 99.co, SRX, 8PROP and exact-address listings continue to identify the swimming pool. Several use the label “lap pool”, and 8PROP separately lists pool deck. This supports a current directory classification but not a measured length or marked-lane claim.

The 2010 maintenance record does not prove present water quality, operating condition, maintenance contractor or lesson suitability. Those matters require current management confirmation and on-site assessment.

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

No separate children's, wading, spa or jacuzzi pool is claimed without stronger exact-estate evidence.

Management and security approval

The Mint Residences is private residential property. Facility directories, listings and old maintenance records do not grant commercial-coaching access.

Before booking, ask the MCST or current managing agent whether the named instructor, learner count and proposed format are permitted. Confirm the correct entrance for 178 or 180 Joo Chiat Terrace, visitor preregistration, identification, resident accompaniment, instructor qualifications, insurance, indemnity and notice requirements.

Also verify coaching hours, equipment, photography, participant limits and facility-booking procedures. Current by-laws, notices and security directions override online records and previous arrangements.

First-session pool assessment

Before recurring lessons begin, verify:

• the resident's exact block and approved entrance;
• the security process and meeting point;
• permission for the coach and every participant;
• the exact pool section approved for teaching;
• whether management currently calls it a lap pool;
• measured usable distance, width and depth changes;
• walls, steps, ladders and recovery points;
• slopes, drains, ledges, jets and restricted features;
• deck grip, drainage, shade, wind and glare;
• visibility along the planned teaching route;
• separation from decorative or non-swimming water;
• normal resident traffic and shared use;
• cleaning, water-testing 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 section 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 near the pool and along shared estate routes.

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, stroke efficiency and turns. Drills must fit measured dimensions and shared use rather than assuming a marked lane.

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

Ladies and female-instructor requests

Ladies may request a female swimming instructor for comfort, cultural preference, privacy or safeguarding. Matching depends on instructor availability, Joo Chiat 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. The estate's small scale does not guarantee an empty pool.

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, closure or failed access affects credits and 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 Mint Residences is not presented as an official SwimSafer assessment venue without separate programme and venue confirmation.

Frequently asked questions

Does The Mint Residences have a swimming pool?

Yes. Exact-MCST historical maintenance evidence and multiple current exact-estate sources support the swimming-pool identity.

Is it a lap pool?

Several current exact-estate records use that label, but no measured length or marked lane is verified.

Which addresses are included?

The guide covers 178 and 180 Joo Chiat Terrace, Singapore 427324 and 427326.

Does the 2010 water test prove the pool is safe now?

No. It is historical evidence of pool maintenance, not a current water-quality certificate or safety assessment.

Can an external instructor enter?

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

Sources and review note

Identity, addresses, scale, tenure, completion references and pool evidence were reviewed on 28 August 2026 using the URA-derived dwelling dataset, active MCST 3479 record, a Singapore court exhibit and multiple current exact-estate sources.

The swimming-pool identity is strongly supported. The lap label remains unmeasured, and the Joo Chiat Place/Terrace management-address discrepancy is retained. Dimensions, depths, condition, rules and paid-coach permission remain unverified.
