Lausanne
Swimming coach in Lausanne
Lausanne is a city built on a slope, and that shapes coaching here more than anything else. Sessions run from the lakeside at Ouchy and the sports grounds at Vidy up through Montchoisi to Chalet-à-Gobet at around 870 metres — which in practice means two seasons rather than one. Down by the water the season stretches from spring well into autumn; up above the city, conditions and facilities carry you through the months when the lakeside is unusable.
The city also has an unusually international population for its size, between the university, the EPFL and the sporting bodies headquartered here. Most of our coaches in Lausanne work in French and English, and a good number in German — tell us in the notes which you prefer and we will take it into account when we arrange your session.
Adults are most of this
Most private swimming bookings here are adults, and they split roughly evenly between two groups: people who never properly learned and have decided to fix that, and competent swimmers whose front crawl falls apart past two hundred metres. Both are entirely normal and neither is unusual enough to be embarrassing.
Pool or lake
Pool sessions run year round and are where technical work happens. Open-water sessions in the lake run from roughly June to September, and they are a different skill — sighting, cold, no wall to push off. If you are training for a triathlon or a lake crossing, say so when you book.

Common questions
I cannot really swim. Is that too basic?
No, and adult beginners are a normal booking. Tell us in the notes and we will match you with someone who teaches adults rather than children.
Is the pool entry included?
Yes, where a pool entry fee applies it is arranged with the session and included in the price you see.
Can you help with open-water anxiety?
Yes. Say so when you book — it is a common reason people get in touch, and it is coached differently from technique.
What should I bring?
Swimwear, goggles and a towel. Your coach brings any training aids the session needs.
