Kids classes are proposed for set times on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday.
The swim school will have four pools, a play area, a multipurpose room, a creche and other amenities.
Learn to swim classes will be its primary service, with development squad classes, school swimming lessons and certification courses.

The facility included a small wooden basketball court, a warm-up area and two shooting stations across 506sq m.
