Join us at Nyon!

Where: Beaches around Nyon.

Focus: Building structure and confidence.

We offer a group coaching program. Our approach goes far beyond simply getting people to swim from point A to point B: in each session, we incorporate specific technical elements through a variety of themes. The goal is to improve swimmers' technique, boost their confidence, and provide them with a structured training program in the lake.

For this reason, we always have at least two coaches: one on a paddleboard to ensure safety, and the other in the water. We also use buoys to create courses of varying lengths depending on the day's program and the lake conditions. We provide feedback directly in the water, followed by a debriefing session after the workout.
