Meet Coach Danny Yeo: Helping Young Swimmers Move Better, Swim Smarter, and Grow with Confidence



Hi, I'm Coach Danny Yeo—Founder of EffiSwim and a passionate coach dedicated to helping young swimmers in Singapore unlock their full potential.


If you’ve landed here, you’re likely searching for the Best Swimming Coach in Singapore or the Best Swim School in Singapore to help your child thrive in competitive swimming. I’m glad you’re here—because that’s exactly what I’ve built EffiSwim to be.


I grew up in Singapore’s competitive swim scene and have spent decades both in the water and on deck. My mission with EffiSwim is simple: help kids move better in the water so they can swim faster, smarter, and with joy. Through thoughtful technique work, mindset coaching, and a proven method built on physics and biomechanics, EffiSwim brings structure and meaning to every stroke.


What I Offer Through EffiSwim





1. Swim Clinics in Singapore

Our weekly swim clinics are the heart of EffiSwim. Designed for young competitive swimmers aged 8–14, these sessions target specific elements of stroke development, starts, turns, and racing skills.

Each clinic is:

  • Laser-Focused on Swimming Stroke Improvement – From freestyle breathing to butterfly coordination, our clinics are designed to tackle the details that matter most.

  • Built on the 'Why' and 'How' – Swimmers learn the mechanics and purpose behind each movement. This understanding accelerates learning and creates long-term improvements.

  • Led by an Experienced Coach for Competitive Swimming – With a track record of coaching age group athletes at a high level, I bring experience and insights that resonate with young swimmers and drive progress.

  • Engaging and Age-Appropriate – We create a fun, structured environment that speaks to young athletes. With clear language, hands-on feedback, and progressive drills, swimmers stay motivated and excited to learn.

These clinics are ideal for swimmers looking to bridge the gap between learn-to-swim and competitive performance.



2. 1-on-1 Stroke Optimization Coaching


Personalized coaching sessions are designed for swimmers seeking highly focused, tailored support to overcome specific challenges in the water. Whether it's mastering freestyle technique, adjusting stroke tempo, refining turn execution, or preparing for a key competition, these sessions are built around your swimmer’s unique goals.

What’s included:

  • Technique Correction and Custom Drills – We identify technical inefficiencies and build personalized drills that target and improve these areas.

  • Real-Time Feedback with Technical Explanations – Immediate, on-deck feedback helps swimmers understand what they’re doing and how to adjust it effectively.

  • Progress Tracking and Goal Setting – We establish goals for each session and track improvements over time, giving swimmers a sense of achievement and direction.

1-on-1 coaching provides a supportive environment for swimmers to ask questions, receive individualized attention, and make faster progress. It’s ideal for athletes who thrive with dedicated instruction or are tackling stubborn technique hurdles.





3. Video Analysis

In swimming, perception doesn’t always match reality. Our video analysis sessions help swimmers bridge that gap and bring their technique into clearer focus.


Here’s what we provide:

  • Multi-Angle Recordings – We capture above and underwater footage so swimmers can see their technique from all angles—during starts, strokes, turns, and finishes.

  • Slow-Motion Playback & Technique Review – Every movement is slowed down and dissected. This helps swimmers and parents identify issues such as dropped elbows, head movement, poor body position, or inefficient timing.

  • Visual Feedback with Actionable Corrections – We don’t just show the video—we explain what’s working and what needs change, paired with a clear plan for improvement.


This service is invaluable for swimmers who want to:

  • Fine-tune strokes like butterfly or freestyle

  • Improve streamline and underwater phases

  • Analyze dive entry and breakout transitions


It’s especially powerful when combined with ongoing coaching. Video reveals what the eyes can’t always catch in real time, helping swimmers internalize technique and accelerate improvement.


4. Mindset Coaching & Goal Setting

Technique will get you far. But a great mindset takes swimmers to the next level.

With our mindset coaching and MySwimJournal, we help swimmers:

  • Set and refine personal goals

  • Reflect on training and growth

  • Stay calm under pressure

  • Build resilience through setbacks

It’s how we build thinkers and athletes—not just swimmers.






Why This Matters to Me

I don’t just want kids to swim well—I want them to understand what they’re doing, why it works, and how to keep improving on their own.


At EffiSwim, we go beyond laps and build movement mastery through biomechanics, physics, and purposeful drills. This is especially important for swimmers transitioning from basic learn-to-swim programs into a competitive training environment.


We’re proud to be recognized as one of the Best Swim Schools in Singapore, not because we train the most laps—but because we help swimmers move the right way, think like athletes, and fall in love with the sport.


Let’s Support Your Swimmer’s Growth

If you’re a parent looking for thoughtful, proven support for your child’s swimming journey, I’d love to help. Whether it’s through our Swim Clinics, Video Analysis, Mindset Coaching, or 1-on-1 sessions, there’s a place here for every swimmer who wants to improve.


Reach out anytime. Let’s take your swimmer to the next level.


See you at the pool,

Coach Danny Yeo

Founder, EffiSwim
