With over 30 years experience, Swim Whisperer In Moray is a specialist Adult Swimming Teacher and Aquaphobia (Fear of Water) Teacher with an office based in Lossiemouth. Swim Whisperer offers adult swim lessons to Non- Swimmers, Beginners, Intermediates and Advanced level swimmers.

The Lessons are aimed at anyone over the age of 16 with a desire to either improve existing strokes or overcome anxieties in water and learn to swim, with the classes taken on a one-to-one (Private Tuition) basis.

Aquaphobia (sometimes known as Water Phobia) can happen to anyone at any age, it is not a reflection on strength of character, personality or intelligence and often has a devastating and negative effect on an individual’s life, family and friends. The longer this phobia goes untreated the more entrenched it may become.

Aquaphobia can have a very real impact on a person’s quality of life, sometimes cripplingly so. They miss out on opportunities and experiences that can leave an individual feeling isolated, embarrassed, or frightened and may cause them to experience social exclusion.

The reasons for wanting to learn are vast, from overcoming a fear of water, wanting to teach your own children, therapy (e.g. Injury and illness), starting a new sport (e.g. Sailing and Surfing), career change (e.g. Oil Rigs and Leisure Industry), going on holiday and you don’t want to watch from the side of the pool whilst the rest of the family are having fun, or purely for health and fitness. The reason’s are endless and the possibilities immense! Swim Whisperer will help you alleviate any fears and build an excellent foundation for the enjoyment of water based activities for the rest of your life!

All classes are taken on a one-to-one (Private Tuition) basis and focus is on building water confidence through various techniques. Encouraging the student to work at their own pace, rather than the pace set by the swimming teacher who may be working to other students strengths and abilities within a class environment.

Teaching adults an understanding of how water relates to them, through various flotation & relaxation techniques is essential and fun, as without enjoyment in water there is no commitment.

Our aim is to maximise potential whilst not losing sight of the fact that all students are individuals and progress at their own pace. The skills that you will learn with Swim Whisperer will stay with you for life, and in some instances may even save your life, or the lives of others.

These lessons are tailored and structured to your needs and requirements and all classes are taken on a one-to-one (Private Tuition) basis. For intermediate swimmers, our focus is primarily on stroke-correction and refinement (rhythm and timing) in back-stroke and front-crawl, whilst ensuring that an optimum, streamlined body position is both adopted and maintained. This is crucial if a swimmer is to conserve energy, improve fitness levels and acquire greater swimming stamina. Swim Whisperer will also provide instruction in bilateral breathing, before introducing breast-stroke and butterfly.

Please note that an adult who can swim breast-stroke only, but not front-crawl and back-stroke, will be given lessons at a beginners level.

Our advanced swimming lessons are designed for competent swimmers wishing to hone their technique in not just one, but all four strokes and push the limits of personal endurance. The emphasis is placed on stroke efficiency, breathing, speed training, plus distance swimming! Time spent perfecting front-crawl technique and a streamlined body position, while learning how to improve aerobic endurance and energy conservation is essential in providing a proficient swimmer.
