Water confidence & swimming lessons for kids

I work with children to help them feel comfortable, confident and safe in the water.

In our sessions we focus on:
• water confidence
• breathing and relaxation
• basic swimming, snorkeling and freediving skills
• learning to enjoy the water, not fight it

Every child learns at their own pace. The most important thing for me is that they feel safe and curious in the water.

If you are looking for swimming lessons for your child, feel free to message me for details.

Private and small group sessions.

🌊 It’s been quiet here for a while…
But underwater — it’s been full of life! 😄

Here’s a little glimpse into our recent classes this past month — laughter, movement, water, and lots of joy!
Even when the feed is still, the pool is buzzing ✨

Huge thanks to all the little swimmers (and their parents) for this beautiful summer.
We keep diving, playing, and growing together 🐬

POOL. WATER. EARS. EAR INFECTION (OTITIS)

What happens when water gets into a child’s ears?

First, it’s important to distinguish between:
1. The outer ear — the visible ear and the ear canal up to the eardrum.
2. The middle ear — located behind the eardrum, connected to the throat via the Eustachian tube.
3. The inner ear — the system of semicircular canals and the cochlea, which are responsible for hearing and balance.

➡️ When water enters the ear during swimming or bathing, it only reaches the outer ear. It cannot reach the middle or inner ear as long as the eardrum is intact.

So why does inflammation happen? And where do parents’ fears come from? 👀

Most parents are afraid of otitis, especially middle ear infections. But here’s what’s important:

• A typical middle ear infection in children isn’t caused by water. It usually happens after a viral infection (like a cold), when the infection travels from the throat to the middle ear through the Eustachian tube.
This is an internal inflammation — not caused by water from the outside.

• An outer ear infection (also called swimmer’s ear) can happen, but usually only if:
– Water stays in the ear for a long time (especially in a warm, moist environment);
– There are small skin injuries in the ear canal;
– The pool water is poor quality (dirty or contains bacteria);
– Or if the child has a weakened immune system, allergies, or is prone to infections.

➡️ But clean water that gets into the ear for a short time is not dangerous — especially sea water or well-maintained pool water.

Sometimes the most important thing isn't to swim fast - but to feel the water.

To slow down. To breathe. To play. To trust.

In our sessions, we don't rush. We listen, we move gently, and we follow each child's natural rhythm.

Our soft, attentive approach helps kids open up in the water and within themselves.

Apnea Kids is not just about swimming. it's about connection, presence, and the joy of being together.

We teach to FEEl and LOVE the water!

Hello dear friends!

We're back after a little break — full of energy, warmth, and inspiration to return to what we love most: gentle, conscious water work with children and families.

If you’re new here or it’s been a while, here’s a little reminder of what we offer:

👶 Baby Aquatherapy (6–12 months)
This is not just swimming — it’s therapeutic movement in warm water. We support the baby’s posture, breathing, and sensory development in a gentle way, through close contact, natural rhythms, and deep trust between baby and parent. It’s a time of bonding, regulation, and subtle body work.

🧒 Infant Swimming (1–2.5/3 years)
At this age, children begin exploring the water more actively. Through play, songs, and intuitive movement, we help develop water orientation, breath control, confidence, and motor skills — always attuned to the child’s emotional and physical signals.

🐬 Swimming from 3 years old
Here we focus on natural skill-building. We don’t follow rigid teaching scripts — instead, we follow the child’s body, curiosity, and pace. The foundation is joy, safety, and body awareness. If needed, we include elements of aquatic body therapy.

🏊‍♀️ Swimming technique / skill refinement
For older children who are ready to improve their swimming skills, I offer technique-focused sessions with a body-aware approach — combining breath, flow, and natural alignment in the water.

🐋 Freediving for kids (from 6 years old)
Children naturally love to dive and hold their breath! Our freediving sessions are playful and safe, focusing on relaxation, body control, and the wonder of being underwater.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family Freediving
A unique opportunity for parents and kids to explore the underwater world together. No phones, no rush — just pure presence, trust, and shared experience. It’s about building a deep connection with your child, one dive at a time.

If you feel that this might resonate with your family — message us. We are happy to answer questions and help you find what’s right for your child 🌊
