Why Stingrays, Chennai

A swim school built for Indian families.

Chennai has beautiful pools, and plenty of people who'll teach your child to splash. Stingrays is different. We run a single, structured curriculum — the same one that teaches 2,100+ swimmers a week across Sri Lanka — delivered by instructors certified through our own Level 1–4 coach pathway.

No two teachers, two techniques, two expectations. One system, every pool.

Active Venues

Three pools. More coming.

We operate at three venues across south Chennai — one open to everyone (SRM University Pool) and two inside residential communities (Lancor Lumina and Rajparis Crystal Springs, open to residents only). Pick the one closest to you, or tell us where you live and we'll help you find the right fit — or bring Stingrays to your community.

Your apartment doesn't have Stingrays yet?

Two of our three Chennai venues are residents-only — which means if you don't live at Lancor Lumina or Rajparis Crystal Springs, your best option is bringing Stingrays to your own community. If your apartment, school, or club has a pool and 15+ interested families, email us. We handle coaches, curriculum, equipment, and parent communication. Your community hosts.

Chennai Questions

What Chennai parents ask first.

Don't see your question? Drop us a note at info@stingraysindia.in

What programs do you run and at which venues?
Three programs: Aqua Tots (ages 3–5, available at Lancor on Sunday 10:00 AM and Rajparis on Saturday 9:00 AM), Kids Stages 1–7 (ability-assessed at free trial, available at all three venues), and Adult Beginner classes (ages 16+, at SRM Sunday 3:45 PM and at Lancor/Rajparis residents-only). If you're not sure which stage your child is in, book Stage 1 — we assess at the free trial and move up if they're ready.
These times don't work for my family. Can you add new slots?
Yes — our current times reflect current demand. As more families join at each venue, we allocate additional coaching staff and open morning and afternoon batches alongside the existing ones. If you want a different time, email us or pre-book anyway and tell us your preferred window — we'll add you to the interest list for when that slot opens. Demand drives the schedule.
Which Chennai neighborhoods do you serve?
Stingrays is currently active at three venues — SRM University Pool in Kattankulathur, Lancor Lumina Apartments in Guduvancheri, and Rajparis Crystal Springs in Madambakkam. We're actively expanding across south Chennai (Tambaram, Velachery, Chromepet, OMR). If you're in one of those areas and have a pool, contact us.
When do Chennai batches run?
Most venues offer weekend and evening slots to fit around school hours. Exact times vary by venue — check the individual venue pages (Kattankulathur, Guduvancheri, Madambakkam) for live timings.
Can non-residents join apartment-pool venues?
Our apartment venues — Lancor Lumina (Guduvancheri) and Rajparis Crystal Springs (Madambakkam) — are reserved for residents of those communities. SRM University Pool in Kattankulathur is open to everyone. If your nearest Stingrays venue is residents-only and you're not a resident, email us — we're actively partnering with new Chennai apartment communities and might be able to start one where you live.
How much do Chennai lessons cost?
Pricing varies by program, venue, and batch size. Because we operate with a strict 6:1 ratio, pricing reflects the quality of instruction — not pool-hour rental. Pre-book a free trial and we'll walk you through pricing at your nearest venue.
Do you teach competitive swimmers in Chennai?
Yes. Our Competitive Squad program is available for advanced swimmers aiming at district, state, and national level. Avantha personally coached national-level squads at Trinity College Kandy — our competitive pathway is designed around that experience.
What's the youngest age for classes?
Group classes start at age 4. For ages 2 we recommend private lessons so coaches can build water comfort at your child's pace without the pressure of a group setting.
Splash, swim, repeat

Free trial class at your nearest pool. Slots are limited — we cap every batch at a 6:1 ratio, so once they're full for a week, they're gone.
