Around Lake Geneva, a **trial swim lesson costs CHF 39** at Aqua Swim Academy. After that, **monthly enrolment is CHF 159/month**, and a **full autumn or spring semester (19 lessons) is CHF 590** — CHF 690 at our Geneva Vernier pool. **Private one-to-one lessons are CHF 95 per swimmer**, semi-private (two swimmers) are CHF 120, and **at-home lessons at your own pool are CHF 100 for 45 minutes**. **School-holiday camps run CHF 490–690** per week depending on location and hours. Prices are the same in Lausanne (EHL and Malley), Coppet, Aubonne, Montreux and Fribourg; Geneva Vernier is semester-only. ## What you'll pay, at a glance Every price below is per swimmer, in Swiss francs, and current for the 2026 semesters. There's a one-time CHF 50 annual registration fee on top for new families, and bank-transfer billing adds a CHF 25 manual-processing fee — everything else is straight card or TWINT at checkout. A quick way to think about value: **a semester works out to about CHF 31 per lesson** at most pools — cheaper than the monthly rate if you know you're staying for the term. Monthly is friendlier if you're new to the swimmer-parent life and want to feel it out first. ## Where you'll find us around Lake Geneva We teach in seven indoor, heated pools across the Vaud, Geneva and Fribourg cantons — every pool is between 30°C and 32°C and small enough that coaches can keep a proper eye on every swimmer. - **Coppet** — the closest pool if you're between Nyon and Versoix, easy parking, popular with Terre Sainte families. - **Lausanne EHL** — the pool at the École hôtelière de Lausanne on the Chalet-à-Gobet plateau; warm, calm, our biggest baby-swim programme. - **Lausanne Malley** — right by the Malley metro/train stop; the fastest way to fit a lesson into a Lausanne family's evening. - **Montreux** — for Riviera families; sunset lessons on the lake side are hard to beat. - **Aubonne** — the Etoy/La Côte answer, quiet neighbourhood pool with easy parking. - **Fribourg** — our only fully-bilingual pool (French / German), with lots of weekend camp availability. - **Geneva Vernier** — opens September 2026, semester-only for launch year, replacing what used to be a long drive out for Geneva-city families. ## What makes a good-value lesson? Cost is only half the story — a cheap lesson in a crowded 8-child class costs more per minute of actual coaching than a slightly pricier lesson with real water time. Three things move the needle: **Group size.** Our hard cap is 6 swimmers per coach, and the average across a typical week is 4. That means each swimmer gets roughly 6–7 minutes of hands-on coaching in a 30-minute lesson — versus about 3 minutes in a class of 10. It's the single biggest reason children progress a level faster with us. **Coach quality.** Every Aqua Swim coach is either Swiss Swimming or ISSA-certified and has passed our internal water-safety and pedagogy training. We pay significantly above the Vaud market rate for aquatics coaches, which is unglamorous to talk about but shows up in retention (our coaches stay for years, not months) and in how confidently they run a group of nervous 4-year-olds. **Water time.** A 30-minute lesson that starts on time and ends on time is worth more than a 45-minute "lesson" that begins with 10 minutes of waiting on the deck. We stagger check-in so the previous class exits while yours enters — we've timed this to the minute across all seven pools. ## Frequently asked questions
