These are our most frequently asked questions Swim Coach

What do swimming coaches do?

Swimming coaches give swimming lessons to individuals or groups. They teach various swimming techniques, such as breaststroke, crawl, backstroke and dolphin. The coach analyzes the customers swimming movements, often using video recordings, in order to correct any mistakes and develop a clean technique.

What is the difference between a swimming trainer, swimming coach and swimming instructor?

Swimming trainers (also known as swimming coaches) train both professional and amateur athletes who want to improve their technique. This training is often used to prepare for competitions.

The task of swimming instructors, on the other hand, is to teach beginners how to swim. They plan swimming courses at different levels, from beginners to advanced swimmers, and are specially trained to deal with dangerous situations such as drowning or the risk of injury.

What does a swimming coach earn?

The average salary of a swimming instructor in a permanent position is €1,980 gross per month. However, the focus is more on swimming lessons for groups. If you become self-employed as a swimming coach and prepare athletes professionally for competitions, your income will be significantly higher. You can charge around €65 for an individual lesson. However, it must be taken into account that the entrance fee to the swimming pool must also be covered.

Where do swimming coaches work?
