“I couldn’t put my face in the water at 42. Nine sessions with Victoria and I’m swimming 25 m unaided. She never rushed me, never made me feel stupid — first time I’ve felt safe in a pool.”Sandrine · Adult beginner · Aquaphobe programme
From "afraid of the deep end" to Ironman prep.
Five quick questions — under a minute. We'll point you at the right programme and the closest venue.

What's the longest you've swum without stopping?
What brought you here today?
How often can you commit to swimming per week?
Which venue is easiest for you to get to?
Confident swimmer
Based on your answers, we'd point you at our adult group class with occasional open-water top-ups in summer.
Pick a class — book your CHF 39 trial
Pick your pool and a time, then pay CHF 39 for one session. No commitment — enrol afterwards and the CHF 39 is credited to your term.
Can’t find a slot that fits? — she adds slots when demand asks for it.
More than a lane and a whistle.
Every adult booking includes the full coaching package — not just pool time.
Max 6 per group
Small enough that your coach watches every stroke. No "find a lane and figure it out" group fitness vibe.
Warm water, every pool
32°C at Flon, Vernier, Aubonne. 27°C + 29°C baby pool at Coppet. Picked specifically for adult beginners — no icy public-pool shock.
Four languages
Victoria coaches in English, French, Russian and Spanish. Rare in Switzerland — pay us the same price as a French-only coach and get coaching in your mother tongue.
Insurance-ready invoice
QualiCert-signed, formatted for Helsana, CSS, Swica, Groupe Mutuel & co. Up to CHF 1'300/year reimbursed via complementary — no forms to figure out.
Progress tracked by level
Weekly skill tracker — you see exactly which stroke pieces you've nailed. The same system we use for kids, adapted for adult goals.
Pro-athlete context
Victoria still races long-format open water + triathlon. Everything she coaches, she's actively testing in real races. You get a current pro's eye on your technique.

From 70.3 training to broken plateaus.
I was training for my first 70.3. Victoria rebuilt my catch and pace — 8 minutes off my 1.9 km leg in three months. She races what she coaches; every session felt useful.
Been swimming for years but plateaued. Victoria pinpointed my hip drop in the first session. Two months later my 400 m dropped from 7:20 to 6:15. Worth every franc.
