Lessons for children from age 4 — from a first introduction to water through to confident technique. In small groups of up to 4–5, or one-to-one with a coach. Lessons are taught in Russian or Ukrainian.
Early sessions are playful and last 30 minutes, which is enough for a child to get used to water without tiring.
Breathing, gliding and first strokes are added gradually. The format stays short and free of targets.
Sessions run 45 minutes, focused on technique and confidence in deeper water, alongside peers at a similar level.
Nikita Dmitriev works with teenagers and focuses on competitive swimming and technique — for those who want a result, not just the ability to stay afloat.
In a group of 4–5 the coach can see every child for the whole session. That matters more for children than adults: a fault in breathing or body position has to be corrected as it happens, or it sets. If a group is hard going, a child can start one-to-one and join a group later.

Up to 4–5, so the coach can give each of them attention throughout the session.
Swimwear, a swim cap, goggles and a towel. Your coach will confirm anything specific to the pool when you book.
