Struggling with Swimming? You’re not alone

Many adults feel nervous around water and feel daunted about trying to take the first steps on improving the water confidence. Do you:

  • Worry about putting your face in the water

  • Feel embarrassed that you never learned to swim

  • Avoid pools, going into the sea on holiday because of anxiety

  • Want to swim, but lessons in busy pools feel overwhelming

  • Want to progress from breast stroke to front crawl

Our swim lessons are done in our private pool and our 6-week block are designed to help non-swimmers learn how to swim with confidence.

During the block of sessions we’ll work with you to:

  • Overcome fear of the water

  • Build essential skills like floating, breathing and balance

  • Feel relaxed and in control in the pool

  • Finally enjoy swimming whether its for fun, fitness or just for your holiday

Just 6-weeks to confident swimming

  • The first session is about just getting relaxed and comfortable in the water. We’ll work on breathing and teaching you the optimal way to stay relaxed and in control.

  • Week two is about floating and finding your natural body alignment. If your legs tend to sink, this week will really help you understand how to correct it.

  • On week three we’ll work with you to learn how to balance in the water and helping you keep your body position from week two.

  • Week four introduces the feeling of the water. We’ll explain the basics of stroke mechanics and you’ll know what swimming should feel like.

  • In week five, we’ll focus on creating propulsion. We’ll help you understand what you need to do to make progress through the water and not feel like you’re fighting it.

  • The final week brings everything together. By this point you will be more confident in your swimming and you’ll know exactly what to focus on every time you go to the pool

How Total Endurance can help you

Learning to swim can feel intimidating and group coaching lessons often don’t give you personalised coaching which can result in you not making the progress you are looking for. Our beginner lessons are designed to help adults of all abilities build confidence in the water using our proven 6-step process.

Here’s how we can help you:

✔ Private 1-to-1 sessions in an enclosed pool
✔ A simple, step-by-step process that focuses on confidence first
✔ Experienced coaching — no pressure, no jargon, just practical guidance
✔ Progress at your pace, with honest feedback and support
✔ Convenient location in Aberdeen with easy booking

You don’t need to wait until you’ve figured out the basics, out sessions will help you make progress faster.
