Manta Kids Pattaya
Thai Maps names the IG Center programme on Chaiyaphruek 2 Road แมนต้า คิดส์ พัทยา, at 53/48 Moo 4.
Manta Kids Pattaya is a children’s swim-school branch at IG Center rather than a public pool or drop-in lap venue. The operator publishes named age-based programmes and current programme prices on its own site, which is useful for parent planning. The weak point is the live Pattaya timetable: the current public pages do not show a branch-by-branch class grid.
What training is on offer
The official Manta Kids site describes the school as a children’s swimming programme built around a temperature-controlled saltwater pool. The same public English pages say the pool is indoor and designed for children, with salt treatment intended to be gentler on skin and eyes than standard chlorinated pool water.
The current public programme ladder is age-based. As checked on 2026-07-29, the official site listed Splash for infants from 4 months to 18 months, Swirl for children from 1.5 years to 3.5 years, Swim Beginner for children aged 3.5 years and above, and Swim as the programme for learning all four international strokes. The operator’s Pattaya branch phone number is also shown on the current branch-and-contact section.
This is a structured children’s learning product rather than a casual public swim. The checked pages do not present lane swimming, adult sessions or a separate day-pass product at the Pattaya branch.
What it costs
On the official Manta Kids site, checked 2026-07-29, the public programme prices were ฿8,500 for Splash, ฿8,500 for Swirl, ฿8,500 for Swim Beginner and ฿10,900 for Swim.
The site presents those as programme prices, not single-visit drop-ins. Before paying, ask exactly what that price buys at Pattaya: number of lessons, lesson length, whether an assessment is required, whether a parent enters the water for the infant programme, make-up rules for missed sessions and whether any registration or swimwear requirement sits outside the listed programme amount.
If you are comparing this with Swimming Kids Pattaya or Baby Shark Swim Club Pattaya, make sure you are comparing the same product type. A term package, a trial, an assessment and a one-off lesson are not interchangeable numbers.
Who it suits — and who it does not
Manta Kids Pattaya suits families who want a structured swim-school branch with age-based progression, indoor water and published programme pricing. It is especially relevant for parents with babies, toddlers or young children who are choosing a longer learning path rather than one casual water session.
It is a weak fit for anyone looking for a public pool, adult swimming, same-day drop-in training or a simple pay-per-visit family outing. For a broader family planning view, use the kids and youth category, the swimming category and the best for beginners guide.
Getting there
The current directory record places the branch at IG Center, 53/48 Moo 4 Chaiyaphruek 2 Road, Huai Yai, Bang Lamung, Chonburi 20150. That puts it on the inland Chaiyaphruek / Huai Yai side rather than in the beach-road hotel zone.
Use the exact map pin before setting off with a child. This is not a venue where a vague “near Jomtien” assumption is good enough, especially if you are working around nap times, school runs or evening traffic. If you are planning accommodation around lessons, compare it with other inland family options rather than with a central beachfront hotel convenience assumption.
Before you go
The official branch-and-contact page currently lists 098-191-9954 for Pattaya. Use that number to request the current Pattaya class timetable, start dates, age placement and any trial or assessment process. The main site also references a planning calendar, but the checked public English pages did not expose a Pattaya-specific live class grid in extractable text.
Bring the child’s age, previous swim experience and any confidence or sensory issues into the first enquiry. Ask whether a parent joins the session, what swimwear or flotation equipment is expected and how missed classes are handled. If you want a pure leisure-water comparison instead, the family-friendly guide is a better starting point.
