What do you need for your first lesson?

You need to bring a swimsuit/swim trunks, swim cap, goggles, flip-flops, a towel, and shower products. For children under the age of three, we provide swim diapers. • Swim caps are mandatory as they help prevent hair from getting into the pool water and clogging the filters.

Can we watch the lesson?

We ask parents to watch the training sessions on the TV screens in the lobby. Children always sense their parents presence and get distracted from the lessons.

Can we join the group immediately?

We recommend signing up for group lessons when the child can dive, float independently, and knows how to kick using freestyle and backstroke techniques.

How many lessons does it take for a child to learn to swim?

The number of lessons depends on several factors: age, skill level, fear of water, and training regularity. Our methodology allows children aged 3–5 to swim their first 15 meters independently after just 8 lessons. For older children, this process takes less time.

How many times a week should we practice?

Regular practice is important for progress. Ideally, lessons should be held 2-3 times a week.

How to cancel without losing a lesson?

Please notify us 12 hours in advance so that we can save your training session. To reschedule classes to the next month due to illness, please provide a doctor`s note. The class will not be rescheduled without a doctor`s note.

Children at a swimming lesson at Piranha

The Piranha International Swimming School has been teaching swimming for over 7 years. During this time, we have developed unique training methods, helping children as young as two months old and adults overcome their fear of water, swim their first meters, master all four swimming styles, and get motivated for competitions.

We use elements of child and teenage coaching in our lessons

Swimming becomes not just a physical activity, but also a way to develop self-reflection and understanding of oneself and the world around. We discuss important topics: health, sports, psychological state, personal achievements, and life goals. During lessons, children not only learn to swim, but also explore their emotions, overcome challenges, and build self-confidence, which is important both in sports and in life.

We acknowledge the diversity of swimming — from the first steps in water to preparation for competitions and confident swimming in open waters

For each student, we create an individual training plan based on their interests and goals.

When working with children with special needs or fear of water, we adapt the methods according to their personal characteristics to make the process comfortable and effective.

We follow the principles of outstanding swimming coaches: Bob Bowman, Glenn Mills, and Eddie Reese

During lessons, an atmosphere is deliberately created that helps children better hear and understand themselves and others, learn to justify their actions, negotiate, and not fear mistakes. We develop resilience, flexibility, and confidence in water — qualities that are also important in life.

In our swimming school, we do not exclude children with health conditions

Our goal is to patiently and attentively work with each child, regardless of their physical condition or limitations. We believe that with the right approach and motivation, any child can master swimming and improve their health. The most important thing is the desire to learn and grow!

We believe in the uniqueness of every student. Yes, technique and physical preparation are important in swimming, but each child has their own pace and individual approach.

When working with children with special needs, we take their characteristics into account and adapt the method so that everyone can achieve their goals. We foster engagement and a love for swimming, encouraging questions, trying new things, and exploring their abilities in the water.

We create a solid foundation of swimming skills with a "simple to complex" approach

The learning process is divided into logically connected stages. First, children learn to stay afloat and control their breathing, then they master the basic swimming styles.

After completing each stage, the child not only feels confident in the water but also understands how to apply the technique for more effective and safer swimming.
