  • Laure is super friendly, experienced and patient with kids. My 6.5 year old son and 5 year old daughter used to be hesitant getting into water without kickboards although they had been learning swimming for nearly 2 years, I’ve already noticed massive improvement after two lessons with Laure! They love swimming now. I would highly recommend her

  • Laure m’a été d’une grande aide, elle m’a fait oublier ma phobie de l’eau et me redonner confiance en moi dans l’eau. De manière simple et ludique elle a posé en moi les bases de la natation. Sa bonne humeur et son amour pour la natation ont été un atout majeur pendant ces quelques heures de cours. De tout mon cœur je la recommande très vivement. Merci Laure

  • Laure transformed my fear of water into a love for swimming. As a child, I had a deep fear of water that carried into adulthood and prevented me from even swimming a few meters. She was highly professional, always on time, and delivered on her promises. Her positive attitude and personalized coaching style made the learning experience enjoyable. I highly recommend her !

She’s very patient and nice, listens to your goals and needs before teaching you the skills that actually help. A massive thank you to Laure and to those who’re in the same boat - it’s 100% recommended and worth the time!
