Free trial at your pool
A coach comes to you, meets your child in the water and finds their starting Wave. No commitment.

Weekly lessons, on the record
Same coach, same pool, a weekly slot that suits you. After every lesson, a short note on what your child achieved.
Five waves, from first splash to swimmer.
Every child starts where they are. The free trial finds their Wave, every lesson works toward its four skills, and the badge goes on their record the day they earn it.
Wave 1: Splash
Water confidence
For first-timers and nervous swimmers. Your child learns that the water is a friendly place, with the coach always within arm's reach.
- Gets in and out of the pool safely
- Puts their face in and blows bubbles
- Kicks while holding the wall
- Floats with the coach's support
Wave 1: Splash
Water confidence

- Gets in and out of the pool safely
- Puts their face in and blows bubbles
- Kicks while holding the wall

Wave 2: Float
Floating and breathing
The body learns to trust the water. Floating alone is the moment most children stop being afraid.
- Star float on front and back, alone
- Stands up from a float without help
- Pushes and glides from the wall
- Breathes out rhythmically underwater
Wave 3: Glide
First metres alone
Kicking, gliding and the first unaided metres. This is where swimming starts to look like swimming.
- Streamlined push-off from the wall
- Flutter kick on front and back
- Swims 5 metres unaided
- Rolls onto the back to breathe
Wave 4: Stroke
Real strokes
Arms join the kick. Front crawl with side breathing, backstroke, and the safety skills to handle deep water.
- Front crawl with side breathing
- Backstroke for 10 metres
- Treads water for 30 seconds
- Jumps in and returns to the edge
Wave 5: Swimmer
Independent and water-safe
A confident, safe swimmer, ready for school squads and club trials. The last badge on the record.
- 25 metres of front crawl, non-stop
- Backstroke and breaststroke basics
- Treads water for a full minute
- Surface dives in deep water
Not sure where your child would start? That is exactly what the free trial is for.
Find their Wave
The pool they'll actually swim in.
Children learn fastest where they already feel at home. A private lesson in your own pool means no drive across Dubai, no crowded lane and no waiting for a turn. Every minute is theirs, in the water they'll swim in all year.

Safety is the first line on the card.
Before a single lesson starts, your coach works through the same checklist at the poolside. Turn the card over for how every lesson runs.

Questions parents ask.
Something we haven’t covered? Ask us directly, we answer every message.
Ask on WhatsAppMy child has never swum. Is that OK?
Yes. Whether they have never been in a pool or already swim a little, the free trial tells us which Wave to start from.
Do I need my own pool?
Lessons take place at a pool you can use: a private villa pool, or your compound or building pool. For shared pools, check your community's rules on private coaching first.
What happens in the free trial?
Your coach meets your child, checks the pool and spends the lesson in the water with them to find their starting Wave. Afterwards we send you a recommended plan and the rates on WhatsApp. No commitment.
How long is a lesson?
It depends on your child's age and Wave. After the trial, your coach recommends the right length and we confirm it with you on WhatsApp.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. A parent or guardian needs to be at home for the whole lesson, and you are welcome to watch from the poolside.
What about the summer heat?
From June to September, lessons are scheduled early in the morning or late in the afternoon, and your coach checks shade and water temperature before every session.
What should my child have ready?
A swimsuit, goggles and a towel. Your coach brings the teaching equipment.
How do I book, reschedule or ask about prices?
Everything happens on WhatsApp: booking the trial, choosing a weekly slot, rescheduling and the rates for your child's plan.
Their record starts with one message.
Book the free trial on WhatsApp. Your coach comes to your pool, finds your child's Wave and fills in the first line.
