Swimming lessons for adults in Antwerp

Yes. Start2Crawl is specially built for adults starting from scratch. We start with the basics: water feel, breathing and body position, and build up lesson by lesson. All you need is to be able to swim 100 metres breaststroke.

For Start2Crawl, our minimum is that you can swim 100 metres breaststroke. Beyond that, you need little or no crawl experience: the series is designed to teach you that from scratch.

If you can swim 100 metres crawl on your own, Continue2Crawl is your next step. If you swim 500 metres comfortably and want to reach a higher technical level, you work individually in Crawl to Finish.

We offer three series, each tailored to your level. Start2Crawl is our 10-lesson series for anyone who wants to learn the crawl stroke from scratch: we start with water feel, breathing and body position and build up lesson by lesson until you swim laps without thinking about it. Continue2Crawl is for those who already make it to the other side but use more energy than needed: in 10 lessons we work on technique, moving more efficiently and comfort in the water, with a full head-to-toe swim analysis in lesson 10. Crawl to Finish is for the swimmer with a solid base who really wants to go deep: individual feedback lessons in which your coach analyses your movement and tells you where it can be better, and how. That is not a series; you decide yourself when and how often you come, without being tied to a fixed lesson series.

The weekly swim slot to train as a group. Not a lesson, but a shared training at a fixed time: building up the kilometres and catching up with people who understand why you get up at 6am. A coach is on hand for anyone with a question. Ideal for triathletes who want to build up their swim volume in a club setting, without a lesson structure.

At Club Swim you train as a group at a fixed weekly time. A coach is on hand for anyone with a question, but there is no individual coaching: the focus is on building volume as a group, not on technique. At Crawl to Finish you get individual feedback lessons in which your coach analyses your movement and tells you where it can be better, and how. You set your own pace and intensity; here the focus is precisely on technique, with no emphasis on volume. In short: Club Swim is group training to build volume, Crawl to Finish is personal coaching to refine your technique.

We deliberately work in small groups: a maximum of 6 participants per lane in the lesson series, so your coach has enough time to follow your technique. Club Swim has a maximum of 8 participants per training.

All lessons take place at the Veldstraat pool in Antwerp.
