FREKANS SWIMMING SCHOOL
Our school, which loves the water and has a great passion for swimming, aims to ensure that individuals of all ages receive expert and professional training support from basic to professional in different swimming sports activities. With many years of experience, we live and live the happiness of aiming to introduce every individual from babies to adults to swimming!

When we realize that we can swim or balance in the water, our confidence grows, we aim to do this by not allowing anyone to rely or depend on instructors. Because this only increases fear and anxiety when it is time to move. We prefer independence and self-confidence over auxiliary equipment (don’t worry, we use all the equipment when it’s needed :D). Rather than being a traditional swimming school, we help our swimmers to succeed in swimming by instilling self-confidence in them.
If we are not having fun, then what is the point! Everyone learns faster if they have fun, whether they are adults, babies, children or teenagers. We make sure that every lesson is full of laughter.
Even when you are desperately trying to put on a brave face, your body gives you away. Reading these signs helps us to recognize worries and fears and deal with them appropriately. Children often show this in the form of being quiet and shy or, on the contrary, acting destructively. By getting to know everyone as quickly as possible and finding the best ways to combat these behaviors, we increase confidence and therefore progress. Because of fear and anxiety, we tend to withdraw into ourselves as a form of protection. By correcting this as early as possible, gaining confidence and encouraging smiling faces, we increase confidence in your own ability and strengthen your skill, helping you to make faster progress.
We build trust with our swimmers, making them feel comfortable and calm, and we work with individuals of all ages at their own pace. We encourage everyone to try something new as often as possible, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem. We will spend as much time as needed on each challenge, as this in turn builds confidence once achieved and helps to reduce fear altogether.
Equity is about giving each individual, no matter what level they start at, everything they need to succeed and using our empathy to assess the best way to do this. Even in groups, our teaching methods differ from person to person. To find each individual’s learning style and help them unlock their full potential, we offer options and brainstorm, helping each swimmer feel included and safe in the moment during their lessons, while maintaining control of the class.
