One pool, one promise
Former national swimmer Lakshmi Narayan starts teaching neighbourhood kids at a borrowed hotel pool after her nephew's scary near-miss at the beach.
About AquaCubs
About us.
We're a team of swimmers, lifeguards and teachers on a single mission: every child in our city should feel safe and happy in water.
Our story
Twelve years, one lane at a time.
Follow the swimmer down the lane — each length is a chapter of the AquaCubs story.
The 4-kid rule
Classes are capped at four children per instructor — a rule we've never broken. The waiting list grows to 200 families.
Our own heated pool
AquaCubs Adyar opens with a 32°C baby pool, a 25 m teaching pool and a warm viewing gallery for parents.
Water safety for every child
We launch free Water Safety & Survival sessions for local schools, reaching more than 1,500 children.
Anna Nagar & the parent portal
A second pool opens, plus the Parent Dashboard so families can track skills, badges and schedules.
3,200 confident swimmers
Twelve years in, we're still obsessed with the same thing: the moment a scared child realises the water is holding them up.
Mission and vision
Mission
To give every child water confidence for life — through patient teaching, tiny groups and safety that never takes a day off.
Vision
A city where no child fears water.
Our safety promise
Six promises we keep every class.
Written on the wall at reception, and checked by our head lifeguard before every session.
Lifeguard on deck
A dedicated lifeguard watches every class. Instructors teach, lifeguards guard — never both.
Tiny groups
Never more than 4 kids per instructor (3 for toddlers). More turns, more attention.
Checked & certified
Every team member is background-checked and holds current CPR, first aid and safeguarding training.
Warm, clean water
31–32°C pools, water tested every two hours, and results posted at reception.
Child-first pace
No forced submersions, no tears policy. Children progress when they're ready.
Open viewing
Parents can watch every lesson from the gallery, and CCTV covers the full pool deck.
Teaching method
Play → Learn → Practice → Achieve
Play
Games, songs and toys build trust before any technique.
Learn
One new skill at a time, demonstrated and tried in tiny steps.
Practice
Repetition with praise, until the skill feels automatic.
Achieve
A badge, a cheer and a note home. Then the next level.
