HAVE MORE QUESTIONS?
I have a phobia from the water, can you help me?
We are specialized in training people with aqua-phobias. We trained over hundreds of people who were afraid to even put their face in the water. We work with our athletes on feeling comfortable in the water, incorporating a lot of breathing exercises to manage their heart rate, while adding a lot of water safety drills to ensure that our athletes can manage themselves safely in the water. Our coaches patiently work with you with your pace until you feel confident and capable in the water more and more each day.
I have an injury, will swimming help?
Swimming is the least impact sport, offering the most suitable workout if you are suffering from a joints/back injury. In most cases, swimming would be recommended by your doctor or physiotherapist as part of your recovery from the injury since it's a low-impact aerobic workout that relieves pressure on the joints and spine, while exercising the muscles in the back. However, each case is different and you need to take the green light from your doctor that you can practice swimming. If you're cleared by your doctor, our coaches will work with you to avoid putting more pressure on your injury while strengthening the areas around the injured part to help you feel better and relieved.
Will I be able to swim freestyle in 12 sessions?
There isn't a magic number under which you will be able to swim freestyle in perfect technique. Each person has his own pace of progress and it also depends on your start point. However, the keyword here is Consistency. Swimming consistently will help you to retain the skills you learn and continue to improve. It will also aid in improving your lung capacity and accordingly will make you feel more at ease while swimming. Lastly consistency is very important in developing your muscle memory, which will make you reproduce the motions and skills you learn without conscious thought, which will enhance your swimming level greatly.
