Learn to swim all 4 styles in less than 24 hours. I'm a swimmer since I'm a girl, a professional pentathlete, I think swimming is like walking, something totally natural and spontaneous in humans. Learning to swim will help you regain confidence in the water that is life. Courses for all levels: adapted to the needs and abilities of each.

Using a range of disciplines from martial arts, to acting techniques, to voice and breath work, we will work together to relieve unnecessary tensions in the body, move effectively, and discover deeper understanding of our vessel. My hope is that you will feel more capable and confidant in your body, no matter what type of body you have. This is not about strength training. It is abut understanding and appreciating the body you have.

Hi, I’m Magued, a retired professional swimmer with 13 years of competitive swimming experience across Egypt and the USA. Swimming has always been more than a sport for me — it’s a huge part of who I am.

Over the past three years, I’ve transitioned into coaching, helping swimmers improve their technique, confidence and overall performance. I’ve also had the rewarding experience of coaching individuals with special needs, which has taught me to adapt my approach to every swimmer’s unique goals and abilities.

My coaching is built on years of firsthand experience, with a strong focus on technique, efficiency and practical drills across all four strokes. Whether you’re looking to improve your fundamentals, refine your technique or take your performance to the next level, I’m here to help.

I’m preferably available to give lessons at your location, making it convenient for you to train in a familiar environment.

These classes are perfect for those who want to perfect their swimming technique or want to start swimming.
Swimming is very suitable both as a specific sport and to work on stress and emotions. Swimming is ideal for working muscle and joint tension as a physiotherapeutic treatment.

This class is for those who wish to learn how to swim or improve their swimming in all four strokes, frontcrawl, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly. As well working on the fundamentals of body position kicking and breathing.

I have been swimming competitively for 12 years and have trained with and been coached by many olympians!
