Swimming Lessons

Description

Hello/hi (English version below) Adults/children or both! Parent-child lessons are possible! Here is some information about me and the lessons: -I am approachable and will make you feel at ease and laugh. If you are a beginner, I understand it’s not easy, so we’ll relax and have fun! I have been teaching private lessons independently since 2019, for adults, children, and teenagers. -I hold my SWIMMING INSTRUCTOR (Red Cross) and NATIONAL LIFEGUARD certifications since 2009. In my youth, I taught Red Cross swimming programs to children of all ages and skill levels for five years (approximately 700 students). This enabled me to develop various teaching techniques—including hands-on guidance—and to make swimming instruction enjoyable for children through different weekly themes (I currently have toys for 15 distinct themes). -Throughout high school, I participated in the SPORT-STUDY SWIMMING program at a COMPETITIVE club, swimming 6 km/day, 6 days/week. I am proficient in all four strokes (butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle). If your goal is performance, I can design a personalized training program for you. Whether you aim for performance or simply wish to learn the fundamentals, I am here to support you. My competitive background means I will teach you a much more efficient freestyle technique than the one unfortunately taught in municipal programs. You will learn to perform a full underwater arm catch (traction), rather than lifting your bent elbow out of the water. During the recovery phase (arm outside the water), the movement will follow more of a semicircular path; your elbow will bend—but at a different point in the stroke cycle: during hand entry into the water. -If your primary goal is learning to swim for survival—so you can safely enjoy water activities, for example on your next seaside vacation—I will focus on teaching you breaststroke (frog swimming). This stroke is less cardio-intensive than freestyle and is the top priority from a survival perspective. It allows you to keep your head above water easily, enabling clear forward vision, conversation with people nearby, and even sipping your cocktail (a little joke here—hihi). Additionally, the same leg motion used in breaststroke applies to one treading-water technique; treading water is essential for survival and safety-oriented swimming instruction. -I have multiple pieces of equipment to support your learning and aid buoyancy. You will always feel safe with these tools—and with me—while progressing at your own pace toward swimming confidently in deeper water without assistance. 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, crawl). 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 crawl that is much more efficient than the crawl taught, unfortunately, in the Red Cross program. You will learn to do a complete catch (traction) with your arm in the water and not bending the elbow when you pull out your arm from the water, the movement will be more of an half circle shape during the recovery phase (the arm outside the water), your elbow will bend but at 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 beeing 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 the crawl, 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 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 severals swimming equipment to promote your learning and help floatation. Don't worry, you will feel safe and going to your own pace. See you soon!
