What is MXZZ Swim Club?

Can international families enquire about children’s swimming in Shanghai?
Yes. MXZZ welcomes enquiries from international families and can provide lessons in English. Tell us your child’s age range, swimming experience and goals so we can discuss a suitable starting point and current availability.
Are swimming lessons taught in English?
Yes. MXZZ can provide swimming lessons in English. Tell us your preferred teaching language when you enquire so that we can confirm an appropriate session and coach for your child.
Can a child who cannot swim join?
Families with children who are new to swimming can enquire about a suitable starting point. Tell us your child’s age range and comfort in the water, and ask about the current beginner groups or first assessment before arranging a visit.
What ages can join the swimming club?
MXZZ works with children and youth swimmers. Share your child’s age range, swimming experience and confidence in the water so the coach can advise on an age-appropriate group and confirm current entry requirements.
How do we arrange a first assessment or trial?
Email [email protected] or contact coach Xu Danlu on Xiaohongshu. Include your child’s age range, experience, preferred days and teaching language. We will discuss a suitable next step; the session, any charge and your place are confirmed directly with the club.

What is the class size and coach-to-swimmer ratio?
The ratio depends on the group and must be confirmed with the coach. Ask how swimmers are grouped by age, ability and confidence, and how much individual feedback your child will receive.
Can we arrange private swimming lessons?
Contact MXZZ to ask about current individual coaching availability. The club will confirm the coach, teaching language, session length and price before you book.
Who is coach Xu Danlu?
Xu Danlu is a Chinese swimmer with a public World Aquatics athlete record. That record lists gold in the women’s 400m and 800m freestyle at the 2012 Asian Swimming Championships and silver in the women’s 800m freestyle at the 2014 Asian Games. Her club posts now document youth coaching.
Can coaching help an existing swimmer improve technique?
The club’s published material includes stroke demonstrations, underwater footage and training sessions. Share which strokes your child swims and what they want to improve; the coach can advise on an appropriate training group.
Does my child have to compete?
Competition is one documented part of the club, but your child’s goals should guide the conversation. Ask whether a suitable non-competitive or development group is available rather than assuming every swimmer must race.
Can training support a school swim team?
The club has shared youth race experiences, including an SSSA event at YK Pao. Parents can discuss school-team goals with the coach. A race appearance does not imply an official partnership with that school or guarantee selection.
Are there school-holiday swimming camps?
The club documented a winter training camp in January and February 2024, combining training with water-polo games. Ask about the next camp’s dates, entry level, supervision and fees; past camps are not a current booking offer.
What should we bring to a first session?
Ask the coach for the venue’s kit list. A swimsuit, cap, goggles, towel and a change of clothes are useful items to discuss. Confirm any pool-entry requirements, equipment rules and parent access before the visit.
Can parents watch lessons?
Parent viewing, changing-room access and collection arrangements depend on the current venue. Confirm them with the club before attending, together with who supervises children before and after the session.
How should parents discuss swimming progress?
Agree a small set of goals with the coach: confidence, a more consistent stroke, or preparation for a race. Ask how feedback is shared and when those goals will be reviewed. Individual race results are examples, not promises for other children.
How do I contact the coach if I do not speak Chinese?
Email [email protected] in English. You can also use the enquiry builder to prepare an introduction, or contact Xu Danlu on Xiaohongshu, account number 816090517. English-language swimming teaching is available; tell us your preferred language when enquiring.
Can we attend after school or at weekends?
Tell the club your preferred after-school or weekend times. We will confirm which current sessions could suit your child and explain any term commitment before you book.
Where can I see real training and competition updates?
Explore the club journal here and follow each story to its original Xiaohongshu post. Photos and results are dated so that past competition achievements are not mistaken for an upcoming event or a promised outcome.
