Swimming at VERSO is not just an activity, it’s an essential survival and life skill. Our founder and investor, Mr. Howard Liang, along with 19 members of his family all survived the 26 December 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami disaster thanks to their ability to swim. The two boats they were on were smashed by huge waves, sending them to the swelling sea near Phang Nga. It was from that survival that created the foundation of VERSO’s swim program.

Weekly lessons with our swim coaches follow internationally-recognized programs, helping learners develop essential skills in a safe and supportive environment. Through our progressive planning system, learners build confidence, master techniques, and develop important values like teamwork and sportsmanship. Every learner is encouraged to participate and excel, making swimming at VERSO a truly inclusive experience that supports both physical well-being and personal growth. Competitive swimming is an important part of our athletics program. Within the age and ability squads, swimmers learn and develop performance and team membership skills within an aquatic arena.

Our exceptional aquatic facilities feature a 50-meter 10-lane Olympic-size pool and a 25-meter indoor climate-controlled pool. This premier swimming environment, combined with our vibrant community, supports swimmers of all levels—from beginners to advanced competitors—as they develop their skills and passion for the sport.
