What to Wear to Adult Swimming Lessons

At Your Personal Swim Coach in the Netherlands, we cater to a diverse community of expats from all over the world. We understand that preferences for swimwear can vary based on personal and cultural backgrounds.

Our golden rule?

Come as you are. The most important thing is that you feel at ease during your lessons. Keep in mind that you’ll be duck diving and floating on both your stomach and back, so it’s essential to choose swimwear that allows you to move freely.

If you don’t have swim gear at home yet, don’t worry—here are some tips!

First, consider what makes you feel comfortable. Some people prefer traditional swimsuits, while others may choose swim trunks or board shorts. For our female swimmers, bikinis, tankinis, or one-piece suits are certainly options to consider. The key is to find something that lets you move easily and comfortably, allowing you to focus on learning without distractions.

While we understand that showing some skin at the beach can be fun, for our swim classes, we recommend choosing swimwear that provides a bit more coverage. This helps you focus on developing your skills and enjoying the water without any wardrobe issues. Just make sure you feel secure and agile.

Now, let’s talk shopping!

If you need swim gear, there are plenty of convenient options. You can browse online for a wide range of swimwear from retailers like Decathlon, Intersport, or even Bijenkorf, with styles to suit every preference.

Our lessons are tailored for busy working adults, so we aim to make your swimming journey as hassle-free as possible. Whether you shop online or in-store, the important thing is to find what works best for you so you can dive into the joy of learning how to swim.

Ultimately, whether you’re expressing your cultural background through your swim attire or simply choosing what feels right, there’s no judgment here. We’re all about creating a welcoming environment where you can learn and grow, both in and out of the water.

So, come as you are, and let’s make a splash together!
