    Frequently asked questions

    If your question is not here, send us a message.

    Levels and lessons

    What swimming lessons does Win and Swim offer?
    Group lessons for adults at three levels, beginner, intermediate and advanced, plus an optional aquaphobia level for adults who are afraid of water. We also offer private swimming lessons (1-on-1 or 1-on-2) and at-home swimming lessons at your own pool.
    What is the difference between the levels?
    Beginner takes you from zero to your first strokes and confidence in deep water. Intermediate works on a smoother front crawl and more endurance. Advanced builds speed and endurance, including triathlon training. Adults who are afraid of water can start with the optional aquaphobia level.
    Which level should I start with?
    Take the four-question level quiz on this page. Your first lesson confirms your level, and you can see the whole path from beginner to advanced on our swimming journey page.
    How long does it take to learn to swim as an adult?
    It differs per person, but most adults finish our beginner level, with their first strokes and confidence in deep water, somewhere between their 8th and 12th lesson.
    Which strokes do you teach?
    Front crawl, breaststroke, backstroke and butterfly. Butterfly is part of the advanced level.
    Can I learn to swim if I'm afraid of water?
    Yes. Our aquaphobia lessons help adults overcome fear of water step by step: water confidence, breathing and basic movement, at your own pace.
    Do you teach children?
    Not at the moment. Win and Swim teaches adults only.

    Prices and booking

    Can I try a lesson first?
    Yes. New customers can book one try-out lesson, or a Trial Pack of 3 lessons instead. Both are one-time offers: pick one of the two, once per person.
    How much do the lessons cost?
    A try-out lesson costs €20 for beginners and €15 for intermediate and advanced. The Trial Pack of 3 lessons costs €119.95 for beginners and €94.95 for intermediate. After that, beginners and intermediates take a pack of 5 or 10 lessons (beginner from €184.95, intermediate from €144.95), and advanced swimmers a monthly pass from €119.95. All prices are in our pricing section.
    How do I book a lesson?
    Online, on Eversports. New customers start with a try-out lesson or a Trial Pack, then pick a class in the schedule. If you have questions first, send us a message.
    What is your cancellation policy?
    The rules for cancelling a booked class and for refunds are in our terms and conditions.
    Can I switch to private lessons?
    Yes. Private lessons are booked on request: send us a message and we agree a time with you, on Monday, Thursday or Saturday around the group classes.

    At Friendship Sportcenter, Beemsterstraat 652, 1027 ED Amsterdam Noord, in a heated pool. Directions and the weekly schedule are on our page for adult swimming lessons in Amsterdam Noord.
    When are the classes?
    Group classes run on Monday from 18:30 to 19:30, Thursday from 19:30 to 20:30 and Saturday from 16:00. Beginner, intermediate and advanced each have a class on all three days, and beginners have an extra class on Saturday at 17:00. The live schedule with open spots is on Eversports.
    Are the lessons in English?
    Yes. All lessons are taught in English, so you don't need to speak Dutch.
    How big are the groups?
    We keep the groups small, so you get personal feedback from your coach in every class.
    Who are the coaches?
    Our coaches are Vlad, Kesler and Mobina. Vlad, the founder and head coach, is a former national-team swimmer from Romania. Read more about Win and Swim.
    What do I need to bring?
