Our Approach to beginner swimming lessons
Start from zero
These beginner swimming lessons are for adults starting from scratch, or with very limited swimming experience. You follow a clear step-by-step progression from the first lesson.
Learn the basics
In our swimming lessons for beginners you start with water comfort, floating, and breathing. Then you add basic strokes in a controlled way, so it feels manageable.
Small groups
Lessons are in small groups (max 5), so you have space to practise and you’re not lost in a big class. This also keeps the pace calm and focused.

I chose to continue training with Vlad because I trust his commitment to my progress, coaching style, clarity and capacity to anticipate what I need to feel confident and give my best in the water.
