Bandra West has three swimming options for parents. Sportiqo at the District Sports Club (BKC) is the standout choice for structured coaching, consistently praised for its team of patient, technique-focused coaches who work well with children as young as 4. Saisa Swimming Pool in Khar West is a small, affordable club pool — 4 feet deep and genuinely good for beginners — but with limited hours and an instructional model where coaches teach from the poolside rather than in the water. Amir Swimming is a personal coach with strong reviews from parents and children, but reaching him is a recurring problem: his Google listing shows a residential address and multiple parents report his phone number is unreachable.
💡 At Sportiqo (BKC), Jeevan Sir has the strongest track record with young children — multiple parents specifically mention him for kids under 6. If you're enrolling a child, ask which coach will be assigned before committing.

Saisa Swimming Pool
33rd Rd, Khar West, Mumbai, Maharashtra 400050, India · beginner swimmers · young children · shallow pool (4 feet) · club facility · ★ 3.8 (93 reviews)
Saisa is a small club pool in Khar West with a 4-foot depth — one of the few Bandra-area pools genuinely suited to beginners and young children who are afraid of depth. The water is described as clean and coaches are polite, but newer reviews suggest the listing has shifted toward club and restaurant use, with recent reviewers mentioning food and bar rather than swimming. Limited class timings are a consistent complaint from working parents, and one parent noted the coach guides from the poolside rather than entering the water.
Cost: Described as affordable; one reviewer mentions 'affordable rate' for multiple facilities

Amir Swimming personal coaching
13, Bandra Reclamation Flyover, JJ Colony, A Block BKC, Bandra West, Mumbai, Maharashtra 400050, India · personal coaching · water phobia · adults and children · breathing technique · form correction · ★ 4.5 (44 reviews)
Amir Sir is a personal swimming coach with a strong track record helping both children and water-phobic adults — parents report a 6-year-old completing laps with proper technique within two months, and a 52-year-old learning to swim for the first time. The critical caveat: his Google listing shows what appears to be a personal residential address rather than a pool location, and multiple recent reviews (1-3 stars from 2024-2025) are simply parents unable to reach him. Verify his contact number directly before travelling.

Frequently asked questions
Which swimming coach in Bandra West is best for young children aged 4-6?
Recur's review of swimming classes in Bandra West found that Sportiqo Swim School at BKC has the strongest record for children under 6. Jeevan Sir is mentioned by name across multiple parent reviews specifically for his work with young children — one review notes a 4.5-year-old making exceptional progress, and another describes a 6-year-old successfully completing laps within the first month. Sportiqo also has Vivek Sir, Rahul Sir, and Aniket Sir in the same coaching team, so children have continuity when individual coaches are absent.
Is there a shallow pool in Bandra West suitable for beginner children learning to swim?
Recur's review of swimming classes in Bandra West found that Saisa Swimming Pool in Khar West has a 4-foot pool depth, which multiple reviewers describe as ideal for beginners and children afraid of drowning. At this depth, most children aged 5 and up can stand comfortably. The water is consistently rated as clean. The tradeoff is limited class timings and a coaching model where the instructor guides from the poolside rather than entering the pool — a concern raised by one parent for very young learners.
What is the fee structure at Sportiqo swim school BKC Mumbai?
According to Recur's review of Bandra West swimming reviews, Sportiqo's fee structure is not clearly published online. One reviewer specifically flagged that the staff charged a different amount than what was advertised — the only such complaint in an otherwise strong review profile. Sportiqo is a structured private swim school with multiple daily batches, so fees will apply for all sessions. Parents should call and get a written fee confirmation before registering.
Can Amir Sir (personal swimming coach in Bandra) be contacted for children's classes?
Recur's review of swimming classes in Bandra West found that Amir Sir has an excellent reputation for both children and adult learners — parents praise his patience and technique-focused approach, and a 6-year-old reportedly completed laps with proper form within two months. However, reaching him is a documented problem: multiple recent reviews from 2024-2025 report his phone number is unreachable, and the listed address appears to be residential rather than a pool venue. Verify his current contact details directly before planning a visit.
