About
I don’t just teach swimming — I transform the learning experience. As a former professional swimmer, I tailor each session to your unique goals, abilities, and learning style. This is not a one-size-fits-all program — it’s personalized, results-driven coaching from someone who’s competed at the highest level. Whether you're looking to overcome fear of the water, learn to swim from scratch, or refine advanced techniques, I design each session to meet you exactly where you are and take you further than you thought possible. My coaching emphasizes faster progress, real confidence, and a premium, one-on-one swim journey. Whether you're overcoming fear, starting from scratch, or refining advanced techniques, we’ll pair you with the right coach — not just any instructor. Our pricing reflects the quality and personalized results we deliver. To help you get started, we offer low-risk intro sessions like a discounted trial or a free Water Confidence Assessment — no pressure, just progress. 🏅 We Specialise In: 1- Fear Reduction & Water Confidence Gradual, proven techniques to help overcome fear of water — building comfort and relaxation with step-by-step exposure. 2- Personalised Instruction Every lesson is tailored to your level and goals — beginner, advanced, or anywhere in between. 3- Breathing Techniques Learn efficient breathing for comfort and endurance, especially if you struggle with holding your breath or timing. 4- Stroke Improvement Refine your freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, or butterfly with technique tips for smoother, faster, and more efficient swimming. 5- Water Safety & Survival Skills Master essential life-saving skills like floating, treading water, and calm self-rescue to stay safe in any environment. 6- Fitness & Endurance Use swimming as a full-body workout to build cardio health, strength, and stamina — all low-impact and joint-friendly. 7- Competitive Swimming Techniques For athletes: improve your speed, stroke power, flip turns, starts, and race endurance — taught by former pros. 8- Mindfulness in Water Learn relaxation and focus strategies to reduce anxiety, improve mental clarity, and feel more confident in the pool. 9- Youth & Adult Programs We customise lessons for all ages — from young children to seniors — balancing technique, fun, and fitness. 10- Pro-Level Tips for Fast Progress We draw from elite swim careers to teach proven tips and tricks that get you swimming better and faster — in less time.

My partner and I just finished a block of 10 sessions with Firas, and we can’t recommend him enough. From the start, Firas was a total professional and really easy to work with. Scheduling our lessons was seamless, and he was always flexible whenever we needed to adjust our times, which we really appreciated. He’s an incredibly encouraging instructor who actually listens to what you want to achieve, and the progression of the lessons felt perfectly paced for both of us. One thing that really stood out was his keen eye for detail. For example, he noticed my partner’s arm wasn’t extending nearly as much as it should have been during freestyle—a small tweak that made a huge difference in their stroke. It’s those kinds of technical insights that helped us improve so quickly. We’re both leaving these 10 sessions feeling way more confident in the water than when we started. If you're looking for a solid coach who knows his stuff, definitely go with Firas.

Firas is the best swimming teacher for my child (6y old boy). He was able to teach my kid swimming so quickly. My child would refuse to put his head under water, was terrified of swimming and Firas changed all of that. Our family is very thankful to Firas and highly recommend any parent to give him a chance

My grandchildren really enjoyed Firas. He worked very well with children, made them feel very comfortable and that’s what I was very pleased with . He worked with the areas that I was concerned with so it was well worth our time his time and our money. I would gladly recommend him to anyone in need of swimming lessons. No that’s what I don’t.

Firas has been an incredible swim coach for my husband, who came in as a complete beginner with the goal of eventually learning to scuba dive. From the very first lesson, Firas struck the perfect balance of patience, encouragement, and clear instruction. He’s created a space where my husband feels supported, challenged, and motivated — which is no small feat for an adult learning to swim for the first time. What really stands out about Firas is how thoughtful and personalized his approach is. He pays close attention to form, comfort, and confidence, and it’s amazing to see how far my husband has come in just a few sessions. Firas makes each class enjoyable while steadily building the skills needed for long-term success in the water. If you're looking for someone who is not only technically skilled but also genuinely invested in your progress, Firas is the coach you want. We feel incredibly lucky to have found him.
