Freestyle course

Learn freestyle as an adult: from breaststroke to front crawl

You have been swimming breaststroke for years and freestyle feels like a controlled struggle? This course is built exactly for that – step by step towards relaxed, enduring front crawl.

In short

  • What: A structured path from breaststroke to relaxed freestyle, in four stages.
  • Who for: Adults who can swim 25 m breaststroke and want to switch to freestyle.
  • Format: Delivered as private coaching – my specialist focus, not a group course.
  • Price: €80 per session, 5-session package €375.

Learning freestyle as an adult is not a question of talent or strength – it is a question of the right order. Most people do not fail at the pull, but at breathing and body position. That is why this course does not start with “just swim”, but with the fundamentals everything else builds on.

The structure: four stages to clean freestyle

Body position & glide. Before you move forward, the water has to carry you. We build a flat, calm body position – the point most self-taught swimmers never reach.

Breathing. Calm exhaling into the water, breathing in to the side without lifting your head. Once breathing works, the panic disappears – and with it the tension.

Kick & pull. A relaxed kick from the hip and a long, powerful pull. Practised in isolation, then put together.

Coordination & endurance. Everything combined, first over short distances, then full laps – until freestyle no longer feels like work.

Why individual instead of a group course?

In group courses, eight people with eight different problems practise the same drills. With me, you learn exactly what your next step is. That is why switchers usually progress much faster in a 1:1 format – and why stubborn mistakes never get grooved in.

Requirement: You can keep yourself safely afloat and swim at least 25 m of breaststroke. You do not need to know freestyle – that is exactly what you learn here.
Format: Private sessions or micro-group on request · English or German · see pricing.
