Find Your Lane with the CIS Huskies Swim Team

 Every child’s journey in the pool looks different, and at the Canadian International School (CIS): there’s a lane for everyone. Swimming is a core sport at CIS and the Huskies Swim Team offers one of Singapore’s most comprehensive school swimming programmes, supported by experienced coaches and a community that feels like family.

A 3-level path from Beginner to Elite

Beginners as young as six start in the Learn to Swim programme, where confidence, safety, and strong foundations come first. From there, athletes progress to the pre-competitive squad, mastering advanced stroke techniques and building stamina as they prepare for the Huskies Swim Team.

With over 250 weekly training slots before and after school, and on weekends, parents value the flexibility as much as the structure and facilities. Some swimmers balance two sessions a week alongside other activities, while others commit to six or seven, training like professional athletes for national-level success. At the performance level, the school also offers strength and conditioning gym sessions, nutrition guidance and recovery support including ice baths!

Celebrating success in the pool

Huskies consistently shine at inter-school competitions, swim meets and international championships. At the recent SJI International U12 meet, CIS swimmers brought home 20 gold, 9 silver, and 15 bronze medals. Some take their journey to the very top, like Paris 2024 Olympian Lanihei C. and five-time Singapore National Age Group champion Ivan M. The school rewards hard work by awarding scholarships. This gives top athletes the opportunity to accelerate their skills and compete at the highest levels.

A community like no other

“As a parent to 3 CIS swimmers, the Huskies are not just another sports team, they are our family. Coach Helen and her team are always there to support all our children, and they have worked tirelessly to build a kind, supportive and inspiring swim community within the school.” – Melessa Tan (CIS parent since 2016)
