Swimming (10)

A swimming coach teaches you to move confidently in the water: breathing rhythm, body position, kick and arm stroke. A beginner usually starts with floating and gliding, while a more experienced swimmer polishes front crawl, breaststroke or backstroke technique and turns. Swimming lessons take place in a pool, and in summer sometimes in open water.

A private swimming coach suits a child who is just learning to swim, an adult who feels unsure in the water, and a triathlete or recreational swimmer who wants to swim faster and with less effort. In the first sessions the coach watches how you move in the water and then picks drills that work on your weakest point.

Swimming coaches in Estonia offer one-to-one lessons, small groups and children's groups. Before you choose, ask which pool the sessions are held in, whether the pool ticket is included, how deep the water is and whether the coach is in the water or instructs from the poolside. If you swim in Tallinn or Tartu, also check which lanes and times are available.
