Who private swimming lessons are for
Private lessons work for adults at every level. They make the most sense when you have a clear goal and want a coach who works only with you.
You are starting from zero
You never learned to swim, or it has been years. You want to learn one step at a time, with your coach right next to you.
You feel nervous in the water
You want to set the pace yourself. If you need to stay in the shallow end for a whole lesson, that is fine. If fear of water is the main thing holding you back, have a look at our aquaphobia swimming lessons.
You have a specific goal
You can already swim and want to fix something specific, such as your breathing in front crawl or your endurance for a triathlon.
What you can work on in a private lesson
Your coach plans each lesson from what you want to be able to do, and corrects your technique while you swim.
- Floating on your front and back
- Putting your face in the water and breathing out calmly
- Your first strokes: front crawl, backstroke and breaststroke
- Breathing to the side in front crawl
- Swimming in deep water with confidence
- Endurance and pacing for a triathlon or open water swim
You can also share a lesson with a friend at the same level. That is our 1-on-2 lesson, at €85 per person.
