Careful lessons with plenty of explanation and guidance, so you learn to perform the movements effectively. Friendly and patient instructors. The holiday course in Croatia is highly recommended: like-minded fellow students, very well organized, and enjoyable.
Just back from my swimming holiday in Croatia, specifically to learn the front crawl 🏊🏻♀️. I got my A and B diplomas back in the day, but I'd never learned the front crawl, even though I always wanted to. If it fits your abilities, it's super nice (and efficient) to be able to focus on this for a whole week (detached from all your daily worries). All the time and attention you need to learn this technique in a relaxed environment in a short time 🌞. The Swiminbalance teachers are fantastic! There's attention for every individual and at every level, focusing on what you need and can improve 🔝. In addition to my front crawl lessons, this week also included open water workshops 🌊 and Alexander Technique lessons. A great addition that enhances the swimming lessons. In just one week, I not only learned good basic front crawl technique, but also learned to move differently. Walking and sitting, in particular, are much better now 😁. I'm really excited and can recommend it to everyone. Now let's get going 🏊🏻♀️ 😁.
I spontaneously decided to book this special swimming trip. I just got back, and my conclusion is: the hotel is good. The instructors too. The group was fun and friendly; even though I'm not a group person, I still enjoyed it and had good conversations. From experience, I know you can be tired after three days of lessons, and I was too. I wanted to get away for a bit. So...on the fourth day, a boat trip and a swim in a cave were already on the agenda. Sailing to a deserted island was wonderful. Could I stay there? No. Unfortunately. There was something to eat and drink. I haven't managed to catch fish yet. My motto, "rest, rust, rust," didn't apply this week. We did so much. We even had a swimming lesson on both the day of arrival and departure. I also went on another swimming excursion, this time with a jet ski, underwater, deep and fast. (I already knew that). I learned another simple swimming stroke. This one is for swimming more calmly and getting less tired. Thanks for everything. One of Esther's slogans made the biggest impression on me: "Doing by not doing." I'm a busy, happy bee, and I took to the water like a dolphin, learning a new stroke. I jump, dive, slide, and swim effortlessly. I enjoyed myself, and that's the most important thing.

I really like the method. Because of the attention to body awareness, it was so much more than learning a stroke. It has brought me a lot in the area of physical and mental well-being.
