Frequently asked questions
Can you learn to swim as an adult?
+
Yes: you can learn to swim at any age. The courses start in shallow water where you can stand, with floating and breathing exercises and aids such as kickboards and pool noodles. The Grandola pool is small and warm, which makes everything far less intimidating for anyone starting from scratch.
How can you overcome a fear of water as an adult?
+
With a gradual approach and plenty of patience: you begin in shallow water, then face in the water, breathing bubbles and floating with aids. The Grandola pool is small and warm, a cosy setting where anyone who feels afraid grows more confident right from the very first lesson.
Do I need to be able to swim already to sign up?
+
No, quite the opposite: the course is designed above all for those who have never swum or are afraid of the water. In the first lesson the instructor assesses your starting point and sets out a path that follows your own pace, so you never feel rushed or out of your depth.
