Can my child take SwimSafer here?

A Clementi Landmark Since 1983
Clementi Swimming Complex opened on 15 August 1983 as one of six HDB swimming complexes built across Singapore in the early 1980s. It was designed to serve residents in Clementi, West Coast and the surrounding neighbourhoods, giving the western part of the island its own public pool.
The complex received an Honourable Mention at the 1987 Singapore Institute of Architects (SIA) Architectural Design Awards. The design used a staggered pool layout that captures tropical breezes across the deck, with innovative drainage that keeps the surrounding areas dry even during heavy rain.
After more than 40 years of continuous service, Clementi Swimming Complex is currently undergoing enhancement works under SportSG's facility refresh programme. The upgrade covers the facade, landscaping, restrooms and roofing. Completion is expected in the first half of 2026.
What's at Clementi
Three outdoor pools under a mono-pitch roof canopy, designed to catch the breeze. Currently being refreshed by SportSG.
Teaching Pool
Shallower pool used for swimming lessons and general swimming. Suitable for beginners and children building water confidence.
Wading Pool
Shallow pool for young children. Gentle water depth for toddlers getting comfortable in the pool for the first time.
Nearest CAMS centre
Assessments are held at Bukit Batok Swimming Complex.
Clementi Swimming Complex is not a CAMS assessment centre. SwimSafer classes run here, but the formal in-pool test for certification takes place at your nearest centralised centre.
Assessment days at Bukit Batok Swimming Complex: Mondays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
There are five CAMS centres in Singapore. Your coach will usually book your child into the closest one. Families can also reschedule through the CAMS Platform if the default session doesn't suit.
