Invest in a personal trainer for the best possible coaching experience.
We are pleased to offer a personal trainer (PT) in the AdO arena.
With a personal trainer, you get optimal follow-up adapted to your level.
In addition to being fast and versatile in the pool, our pt's are skilled at seeing where "the water is pressing" and explaining in a good way what you can do to move forward. They also know that everyone is different and take the individual as a starting point. They all have a passion for teaching swimming at all levels.
We also have an instructor who can teach AquaRun as a training method.
PT DUO is for those who want to be two together with a PT (requires that you are at about the same level).
Here you can get a "friend price" where no 2 pays -50% of the price
