Private swimming lessons Amsterdam: why it works so well

  • Individual attention - the instructor sees and immediately corrects any movement.
  • Quick result - no waiting time; all minutes are effective teaching time.
  • Instructor in the water - show, hold and safely guide increased self-confidence.
  • Bespoke - tackle exactly that one part (breathing, leg stroke, take-off jump, underwater orientation).
  • Peace & structure - fine for concentration issues or when groups are too stimulating.

Who are private swimming lessons suitable for?

  • Children which is a technology boost need (breaststroke, backstroke, crawl) or want to progress faster towards Swim-ABC.
  • Pupils with a concrete threshold (looking underwater, hoop, clothing jump) to be solved in a focused way.
  • Children who want to preparing for turbo or a retake: technique tight first, then move into turbo swimming lessons.
  • Adults who prefer to learn 1-on-1 or work specifically on hitting technique/conditioning (see also swimming lessons for adults).

Our approach: 1-on-1 or 1-on-2 private lessons

Private tuition means focused attention and fast feedback loops. The instructor often stands with us in the water, so that he/she can demonstrate movements and hold where necessary. We choose the format together:

  • 1-to-1 - maximum focus and pace; every minute is bespoke.
  • 1-on-2 - two students of similar level; advantage of practising together and lots of personal time.

Lesson duration & frequency We agree on the lessons in consultation, matching the goal and level. For private lessons, there is a minimum purchase of 10 swimming lessons.

This is how starting works - from intake to trial swimming

  1. Personal plan - we choose 1-on-1 or 1-on-2, agree on lesson duration and number of sessions and link this to the group level.
  2. Private lessons - Instructor gives direct corrections (often from the water).
  3. Forward - upon attainment of final level follows selection and trial swimming or inflow into turbo Whether the appropriate group.

Common goals in private lessons

  • Breath & timing in breaststroke/breast crawl (blowing out, head and hip position).
  • Beenslag (frog rhythm, feet deployment, toes up on backstroke).
  • Underwater & orientation (through hoop, stay calm, keep direction).
  • Clothing swim (jumps, floating, water kicks with hands above water).
