BREASTSTROKE C

In this course, you’ll learn to swim breaststroke — the most efficient stroke for relaxed, forward movement in the water. It’s perfect as a base for healthy swim workouts or simply to enjoy swimming on holiday.

Now that you have strong leg technique and know how to swim backstroke, we focus on combining everything into one smooth movement. You’ll learn how to coordinate your arms, legs, and breathing in a natural rhythm.

Step by step, we teach you how to:

• Swim breaststroke with full-body coordination

• Breathe easily and efficiently during the stroke

• Control your movement in and under the water

The goal: swim both breaststroke and backstroke for at least 100 meters, fully independently and without any equipment. You’ll also learn to swim 5 meters underwater, to improve body control and breath timing.

Breaststroke Builder is the final step in your Learn to Swim journey — and the perfect foundation for a lifetime of confident swimming.

Breaststroke Builder (Course C) is the final step in our Learn to Swim pathway — and is not where swimmers typically begin.

Most swimmers enter C only after completing Course B or after being evaluated during a try-out session with one of our coaches. In C, we build on the backstroke technique and leg strength developed earlier, and begin combining full-body movements and breathing for breaststroke.

Are you already able to swim at least 100 meters backstroke independently, and have strong leg control in the water? Then you might be ready — but even so, a coach assessment is always required before joining Course C.

If you train twice a week, most adults learn to swim confidently within 5 to 8 months at The Swim Academy. That’s significantly faster than the national average of 1.5 years.

Consistent training, expert coaching, and a proven method make the difference.

Appropriate swimwear: a bikini or beach shorts are not comfortable for swimming. You may want to consider other options such as an one-piece swimsuit or swim trunk, as it provides better coverage and support.

Swimming goggle: for clear vision, eye protection, and enhanced performance. Try our examples on location and dive in with confidence!

Swimming cap: Streamline your swim, reduce drag, and protect your hair. Try our high-quality swimming cap on location for optimal performance and comfort.

Bring a smile: The best accessory you can wear! Guaranteed to enhance your experience and brighten the pool. Happiness provided free of charge!

Participants must be 18 years or older. Bring a positive attitude, commitment, and a willingness to learn.

Join us and discover the joy of swimming in a supportive and encouraging environment!

Our Small Group Trainings run year-round, and you can start whenever it suits you. Choose your pace: swim once, twice, or even three times per week — each session follows a fixed weekly schedule.

Booking is simple. After purchasing your membership, you’ll receive credits to reserve your preferred time slots. If a class appears in the schedule, that means there’s space — no guessing, no waitlists.

We currently have availability at all levels, so you can start right away and secure a consistent spot in the group that fits you best.

Your membership gives you access to:

• 1 or 2 weekly Small Group Trainings (depending on your plan)

• Full access to the club facilities on your training days (pool, gym & wellness)

Please note: group classes organised by the club (e.g. yoga, spinning) are not included.

If you can’t attend a session, you may request a make-up class within the same 4-week cycle. Make-ups are only possible in another group of the same level and are subject to availability – they are not guaranteed.

Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours in advance to be eligible for rescheduling. Missed sessions without notice or late cancellations (within 24 hours) cannot be rescheduled or refunded. Unused classes expire at the end of each cycle and do not carry over.

All changes can be managed easily through your personal account via our app or website.
