Swimming coach in Geneva
Geneva has the densest concentration of lakeside sports facilities in the region, and the parks along the Eaux-Vives and Pâquis shores carry most of the outdoor coaching that happens here. It is also compact: a coach can cross the city in twenty minutes, which means we can usually match a session to a time rather than to a neighbourhood.
The international population changes what people book. A large share of our Geneva sessions are people who have arrived recently and are picking a sport back up somewhere unfamiliar, often in a language other than the local one. English is the working language for most of our coaches here, and several work in German, Italian or Spanish. Say what you would prefer when you book.
Adults are most of this
Most private swimming bookings here are adults, and they split roughly evenly between two groups: people who never properly learned and have decided to fix that, and competent swimmers whose front crawl falls apart past two hundred metres. Both are entirely normal and neither is unusual enough to be embarrassing.
Pool or lake
Pool sessions run year round and are where technical work happens. Open-water sessions in the lake run from roughly June to September, and they are a different skill — sighting, cold, no wall to push off. If you are training for a triathlon or a lake crossing, say so when you book.

Common questions
I cannot really swim. Is that too basic?
No, and adult beginners are a normal booking. Tell us in the notes and we will match you with someone who teaches adults rather than children.
Is the pool entry included?
Yes, where a pool entry fee applies it is arranged with the session and included in the price you see.
Can you help with open-water anxiety?
Yes. Say so when you book — it is a common reason people get in touch, and it is coached differently from technique.
What should I bring?
Swimwear, goggles and a towel. Your coach brings any training aids the session needs.
