Services

Three paths to better technique

No off-the-shelf training: every service is tailored to adult swimmers – from your first clean freestyle stroke to race preparation.

Private training in the pool

1:1 training in Berlin with direct feedback at the pool edge. We work specifically on body position, pull phase, breathing and efficiency – at your pace, with a clear plan for every session.

For beginners to advanced swimmers

Freestyle course: from breaststroke to front crawl

Structured technique development for adults who currently swim breaststroke and want to swim relaxed, enduring freestyle – step by step, without overwhelm.

For switchers & returning swimmers

Video analysis

You send me your swim video, I analyse your technique frame by frame and you receive an annotated review with concrete drills – from anywhere in the world.

Videoanalyse

How your video analysis works

Professional technique feedback, wherever you train. All you need is a smartphone video from the pool.

1

Record your video

You receive a short guide on how to film yourself best – angles, length, light. No special equipment needed.

2

Send it in

After booking, you send me your video via a simple upload link. I confirm as soon as it has arrived.

3

Receive your analysis

Within 48 hours you receive an annotated video review with prioritised corrections and matching drills for your training.

Request video analysis

The analysis is asynchronous and per submitted video – you decide when and how often.

Training and recovery, joined up

If you train a lot, you need more than a training plan. That is why I work closely with the practice Physiotherapie SANUS in Berlin-Schöneberg – for swimmers, triathletes and everyone who wants to keep their body resilient long-term.

Fast help when something hurts

Swimmer’s shoulder, neck tension or hip issues: if needed, I refer you directly to the practice – no long search for a therapist who understands athletes.

Training as prevention

Clean technique work in the water is easy on the joints and an ideal complement. In turn, the practice recommends my coaching as a sensible follow-up after completed therapy.

A coordinated approach

On request, we align training and therapy – so you get back into the water safely after an injury, without setbacks.

Physiotherapie SANUS

Practice for physiotherapy, manual therapy, classic massage and lymphatic drainage in Berlin-Schöneberg – a few minutes' walk from Bayerischer Platz underground station (U4/U7).

About me

Your coach

I have been swimming competitively for more than eleven years and know from my own experience: good technique does not come from more kilometres, but from the right corrections at the right time.

As a licensed coach, I combine sports-science fundamentals – technique analysis, training planning, injury prevention – with a clear, honest coaching style. You do not get a standard programme, but feedback that targets your individual movement pattern.

Coaching is available in English and German.

Scheduling

Booking that fits around your life

Training should give you energy, not scheduling stress. You book your sessions directly online – and stay flexible when life gets in the way.

Book open slots online

Just tell me your preferred time frame – I will get back to you within 24 hours with concrete slots from my availability.

Reschedule flexibly

Up to 24 hours before a session, you – and I – can move it free of charge to another open slot. Fair for both sides.

Before every session you get a reminder with time and location – all you need to remember is your swim gear.

Rescheduling policy in short: Sessions can be moved free of charge up to 24 hours before the start – by you or by me, into any open slot. Cancellations under 24 hours are charged, except in justified cases (e.g. illness with a doctor’s note).
