Calmer breathing
We find an exhale and inhale rhythm that stops every stroke from feeling like a fight for air.

Learn to swim freestyle with less effort and more confidence
Practical swimming technique lessons with video and clear feedback: breathing, catch and body position, step by step.
Technique before fitness
When the water drains your energy, more lengths are not the answer.
Swimming is the most technical part of triathlon. When head position, breathing, body line and catch do not work together, you tire before your fitness has a chance to help.
In a lesson we break the movement into manageable parts, use video to make the issue visible and immediately try a specific correction. The aim is not one perfect length, but a movement you can repeat calmly and safely.
What you take away from a lesson
More economical movement
We adjust body position, catch and timing so more of your energy moves you forward.
A clear next step
You leave with specific drills and know what to focus on during your next independent swim.
For beginners and experienced triathletes
The lesson meets you where you are. You do not need to be fast and you do not need to be signed up for a race.
- You can swim only a few lengths and want more calm and confidence.
- You can swim freestyle but become breathless quickly or struggle in the water.
- You are training for triathlon and want to save energy for the bike and run.
- You swim regularly but have no feedback on what is slowing you down.

One useful correction at a time
We do not build technique from ten instructions at once. We focus on the change that can help your swimming most right now.
I watch you swim
We begin with a few lengths so I can see your natural movement and the main thing holding you back.
Make the detail visible
Video from different angles helps you understand what is really happening in the water.
Practise the correction
Simple drills isolate the new movement before we connect it back into freestyle.
Leave with a task
You know what to practise alone and how to recognise that the technique is improving.

Can I come if I can barely swim freestyle?

Are the lessons only for triathletes?
No. They also suit people who want to swim more comfortably, gain confidence in the water or learn freestyle without racing ambitions.
Where and when are the lessons?
Regular lessons take place on Fridays at Strahov, usually around 19:00. We always confirm the exact time, place and availability in advance.
