Swimming Lessons

Take some swimming lessons on Koh Tao to get the most out of your stay!

On an island surrounded by crystal clear blue waters and vibrant colourful coral reefs, it makes sense that many Koh Tao visitors want to explore the ocean. Snorkel tours, scuba diving trips and courses are readily available, you do need to have basic swimming skills to take part in those activities.

Not as comfortable in the water as you want to be? We recommend you take some snorkelling or swimming lessons with Splashdance n’ Swim. 

Splashdance n’ Swim is the original and top-rated swimming school on the island. Offering lessons for adults and children alike, the friendly and professional team can help you build up your confidence in the water and/or develop new techniques. 

Swimming lessons are available for all ages and abilities, and you can choose from private, semi-private or group sessions. The Splashdance n’ Swim instructors are all English-speaking and are qualified and accredited to Western standards. They offer a small group guarantee and a mobile service. If you have your own villa or resort pool, you can take your swimming lessons there. Swimming and snorkelling lessons are possible in the ocean too.
