Our swimming course for beginners is designed for adults who want to learn how to swim and move in the water without fear.
We are aware that learning to swim as an adult can bring challenges. Therefore, in our courses we create a relaxed and supportive atmosphere where you can feel comfortable and safe. This particular swimming course is also ideal for beginners who have had negative experiences with water in the past.
These beginner swimming courses focus on the core elements of swimming, such as breathing, floating, gliding, and propulsion movements (arm and leg movements). With these core elements, you will lay a stable foundation for all swimming styles.
This course is for adults with no previous swimming experience who want to finally learn to swim. Comfort, safety, and confidence in the water are at the heart of the course.
In addition, you will learn the basics of backstroke and breaststroke – two complementary swimming styles, perfect for adults who want to learn to swim without any competitive ambitions.
The course takes place in shallow water (depth: 1.2 meters). The entire pool is reserved exclusively for the participants.

This course is for adults who have some swimming experience but still feel insecure in deep water and want to improve their swimming skills. Some prior swimming experience is required, such as basic floating, gliding, or simple swimming movements.
The course focuses on improving backstroke and breaststroke techniques, treading water (staying in one place safely in deep water), and safe water entry. Step by step, you gain more confidence, endurance, and trust – and learn to enjoy swimming safely, whether relaxing in a lake or confidently jumping into the sea.
The course takes place in shallow water and – depending on progress of the participants – partially in deep water. The entire pool is reserved exclusively for the participants of the swimming course.
