Swimming lessons

Hello/hi (English version below) Adults/children or both! Parent-child lessons possible! Here are some info about me and the lessons: -I am approachable, I will make you feel at ease and laugh; if you are a beginner, I know it’s not easy, so we need to relax and have fun! I have been teaching private lessons independently since 2019, for adults/children/teens/hamsters ahahah -I hold my SWIMMING INSTRUCTOR (Red Cross) and NATIONAL LIFEGUARD certifications since 2009. During my youth, I taught for 5 years in my hometown to children of all ages and levels (approximately 700 students). This enabled me to develop multiple learning techniques including physical guidance, and to make swimming learning fun for children with different themes each week (I currently have toys for 15 different themes). -Throughout high school, I participated in the SPORT-STUDY SWIMMING program at a COMPETITION club, swimming 6 km/day, 6x/week. I know all swimming strokes (butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle). If your goal is performance, I will design a personalized training program for you. My competitive background ensures that I will teach you a much more efficient freestyle technique than the one taught—unfortunately—in the municipal program. You will learn to perform a full arm catch underwater, and the recovery phase (arm outside the water) will follow a more semicircular motion. -If your main goal is to learn swimming for survival purposes and to safely enjoy the water—say, during your next seaside vacation—I will focus on teaching you breaststroke (frog swimming). This stroke, less cardiovascularly demanding than freestyle, is the technique to prioritize from a survival perspective. It is easy to swim with your head above water, allowing you to see clearly ahead, talk to people around you, and sip your cocktail (a little joke here hihi). Additionally, the same leg movement used in breaststroke applies to one of the treading-water techniques; treading water is essential in swimming instruction from a survival/safety standpoint. -I have various equipment to support your learning and aid buoyancy. You will always feel safe with these tools—and with me—as you progress at your own pace toward swimming in deep water without aids. See you soon! ENGLISH VERSION Hello hello! Adults/children or both! Parent-child lessons possible! Here are some info about me and classes! -5 years in a SWIMMING COMPETITION club swimming 6km/day, 6 days/week. I know all the swimming styles (butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle). If your goal is performance, I will create a personalized training program for you. Whether it's performance or simply learning the basics, I'm there for you. My competitive background means that I will teach you a way of swimming freestyle that is much more efficient than the freestyle taught, unfortunately, in the Red Cross program. You will learn to do a complete catch (traction) with your arm in the water and not bend the elbow when you pull your arm out of the water; the movement will be more of a half-circle shape during the recovery phase (the arm outside the water); your elbow will bend but at a different time—when inserting the hand into the water. -If you mainly want to learn swimming for a survival perspective and be able to enjoy being in the water and be safe, let's say on your next vacation trip, I will focus on teaching you breaststroke (frog swimming). This swimming style, less cardio than freestyle, is the technique to prioritize from a survival point of view; it is easy to swim with your head up, to see clearly in front of you, talk to the people around you, drink your cocktail (little joke here hehe). In addition to this, the same leg movement in breaststroke is used for one of the treading-water techniques; treading water is essential in swimming learning from a survival/safety aspect. -I am a person who will push you beyond your limits; I am very easy to talk to and dynamic—you won't be bored with me! -I have my Red Cross swimming instructor and National Lifeguard certification since 2009. During 5 years, I taught the Red Cross program to children of all age/level (around 700 students). This allowed me to develop several learning techniques including manipulation and making learning of swimming fun for children with different themes every week. -I have several swimming equipment to promote your learning and help flotation. Don't worry, you will feel safe and go at your own pace. See you soon!
