Interlaken
Swimming coach in Interlaken
Interlaken sits on the flat strip between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz with the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau filling the view south. The geography is almost absurdly convenient: two lakes for water sports, a flat valley floor for running, and 4,000-metre peaks starting half an hour away.
It is the most visited town in the Bernese Oberland and behaves like it. Summer is extremely busy and books out; May, June and September are the times to come if you want a coach at the hour you actually asked for.
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.
