Children's Classes
We offer a range of children's swim classes at Aqua Swim Academy, from parent and baby classes to options for school-age children and above to develop their strokes and learn vital life-saving skills.
We don't only hold classes in the swimming pool, as some of our classes and private lessons can take place in your home pool or in the many Swiss lakes in the Summer months.
What to Expect
We understand that every learner has a different level of confidence in the water. Our qualified Aqua Swim Academy swim instructors are ready to empower our students to learn independently and become comfortable, confident swimmers.
Our classes last at least 30 minutes and the majority take place in pools heated to around 30 degrees celsius. Classes have an average class size of 4 to 5 swimmers per instructor.

Swim Strokes
Learning to Swim Independently
Once your child is feeling confident enough to swim without their parent and has reached their 3rd birthday, they can move to the Swim Basics tier. These lessons allow your child to further their independence in the water. This can be achieved by taking two Aqua Swim levels:
Level 4: Stroke Discovery
Locations
- Lausanne
- Montreux (Level 4 & 5)
- Geneva (Level 4)
Swim Masters
Refine and Perfect Swimming Technique
Once your child has learned the basics, they will begin to master their swimming skills. The three Swim Masters levels take them from developing their strokes to mastering their technique and timing across all four swimming strokes.
