I learned to swim as a child, and just weeks later, I was jumping off a yacht into the deep Mediterranean Sea.
I feel comfortable in the water, but I know it’s not like this for everyone. That’s why I’ve developed a swimming method specifically for adults, one that trains both body and mind.
With us, you’ll improve your swim as naturally as riding a bike—understand, feel, and never forget. We give you the freedom and security to feel at home in the water because we believe that swimming is a basic right that everyone should enjoy.
I spent much of my childhood at the local pool. Every week, sometimes several times, we’d go for lessons or free swimming with my siblings. Some of my best memories are in the water – in pools, lakes, canals, or the sea.
I started life-saving with Irish Water Safety at age 10, and by 15 I was volunteering as an Instructor, teaching rescue skills, BLS/CPR, and giving water safety talks. I later became an Assistant Swim Teacher, and by 20 had completed my Full Swim Teacher Qualification.
In 15 years of teaching, I’ve worked with people of all ages, including my own mother who once had a deep fear after nearly drowning. My goal is to show students not only that they can swim, but that being in the water can also be an enjoyable experience.
For the swim analysis, we use pools in Tiergarten, Schöneberg, Wilmersdorf, and Lankwitz. Additionally, some pools in Neukölln are available.
Our trainers are generally available from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM. Weekend appointments are available upon request. The demand in public pools varies by season; we’re be happy to recommend the best training times.
In our group class we'll teach you front crawl swimming based on 4 principles. You should have enough prior swimming experience to float and submerge your face in the water. Anything on top helps, but is no prerequisite.
The pool used for the class is about 1 meter deep, so you’ll be able to stand comfortably.
You only need swimwear and goggles; we provide everything else.
Don’t worry about being too inexperienced or clumsy—our trainers are very empathetic, stay in the water with you, and help every participant feel comfortable in the water.
In the course, you’ll learn our method for floating and moving in the water in freestyle. By the end of the course, you’ll be able to do front crawl from one end of the pool to the other, relaxed and on your own.
You have your swim trainer all to yourself. This means 60 minutes of focused input, constant feedback, and precise analysis of your movements.
With the trainer by your side in the water, you’ll learn faster than in any other setting—we can show you the exact exercises that work best for you. Your trainer will also get to know you better and can adapt to your unique learning process.
The swim analysis is tailored just for you: we adjust the time, date, location, and approach based on your needs. If your back is tense and you're struggling to breathe, we can include mobility training. If you’re uncomfortable swimming around others or dislike splashing water, we’ll find optimal times when the pool is less crowded.
The swim analysis includes close support, with a personalized training plan and clear communication via chat or phone to support your success.
Injuries during swim training with a trainer are rare; we teach you healthy swim techniques from the start. If you do get injured during training, we’ll support you with a fast and effective recovery and work with you to identify the cause to prevent future injuries.
Costs depend on your individual needs and goals. The basic swim form check with 2 training sessions and a detailed plan is available for 469€.
Many people wonder why the price is what it is, and here’s why:
In short: You’re investing your precious time in improving your swim. We’ll do everything to ensure you reach your goal as quickly as possible. We’re very good at what we do, which means you invest once and then you can swim.
You need motivation, a goal, and swim gear (swimwear, goggles, and cap) along with an internet-enabled device for communication and access to online content. That’s it!
We provide any additional practice equipment (pull buoy, fins, etc.).
For the duration of your swim analysis (ca. 1 month), we recommend swimming twice per week.
Our approach is to train together once, then have you practice alone to see if you’ve absorbed the lesson. This way, you improve with each session and gain confidence.
You can sign up directly through the program by clicking “Book now” or contact us before you choose.
In any case, we’ll ensure that your goals align with our approach. If you identify with the descriptions on this page, you’re in the right place.
You won’t—that's a promise. If you connect with our method and are ready to learn swimming, we’ll make sure you feel at home in the water.
We’ll support you with all questions, concerns, and challenges and bring our 10 years of experience to every situation.
Absolutely! We’ve trained people of all ages and abilities, from high school graduates to retirees, and here’s one guarantee:
Strength and endurance aren’t the most important factors in the water. What counts is your mindset and body awareness, which we’ll train from the very first minute together.
In the end, it’s like riding a bike: once you learn, you never forget.
