Zurich crawls with us – get in and swim better.

Are you interested in a crawl course in Zurich?

Located in the heart of Zurich, the swimming school has many years of experience in offering crawl courses for adults. We offer both group and private swimming lessons in Zurich.

Learning the crawl technique correctly requires a wide range of movement experience in the water. This is systematically built up through targeted and varied crawl technique exercises. The basics of crawl swimming are taught intensively in crawl course 1 and crawl 1.

The crawl course 1 is aimed at beginners and lays the technical foundations of crawling. In addition, we now also offer the intensive crawl 1 course. In terms of content, this course corresponds completely to Crawl Course 1, but is held in a compact form with fewer lessons and a smaller group size to enable a more intensive learning setting.

In the advanced crawl course 2 and swim yourself fit courses, the focus is on targeted refinement of the movement sequence and building up basic swimming-specific endurance.

Have we aroused your interest?

We look forward to seeing you!
