Swimming lessons and private swim coaching for children and adults

I provide swimming lessons, private swimming lessons and swim technique coaching for children and adults in Turku, Salo and throughout Southwest Finland. My services focus especially on children's swimming lessons, adult swimming instruction and swim technique coaching.

Private swimming lessons are tailored to each client's individual needs and goals. Whether you are learning to swim, improving your confidence in the water or refining your swimming technique, instruction is always adapted to your skill level.

Private swimming lessons

Private lessons focus entirely on your or your child’s needs. We progress calmly and individually according to the swimmer’s current skill level. Lessons are well suited to children learning the basics and to adults looking for focused guidance in relaxed freestyle swimming or the techniques of different swimming strokes.

I also provide advice on how to use swimming equipment effectively in independent training.

Swimming instruction and technique

Swimming technique training and programmes for adults and young people. Training programmes can be combined with individual private lessons. We can first review the exercises together, after which you can continue practising independently.

For experienced swimmers, I can design progressive programmes that develop fitness and speed, or technique packages that complement other training.

Gym guidance and programmes

Gym guidance for beginners who would like support in getting started, using machines and free weights, and training safely. I am also happy to create gym programmes for improving general fitness, strength or everyday energy.

Gym guidance is offered in cooperation with Uittamon Kuntosali. Visit the Uittamon Kuntosali website for further information. All training programmes can also be combined with other services.

Group Fitness Classes

Encouraging, individual-focused group exercise instruction for private groups and companies, including events, workplace wellbeing days, celebrations and other private occasions. My experience includes body maintenance, active mobility and recovery classes, circuit training, lower-body and core sessions, and a variety of aquatic exercise classes.

Is your company looking for a new group exercise instructor? I am happy to discuss whether my experience and expertise would suit your brand and needs.

Body maintenance and recovery

Calm, restorative movement that supports the body and is suitable for everyone. The service can help balance physical strain and support overall wellbeing. You can receive practical relaxation tips or a programme tailored to your needs and everyday life.

Feel free to ask for more information!

Mobility and flexibility

Active mobility and flexibility training, or gradual and controlled improvement of everyday ranges of motion. Together, we can create a mobility or flexibility programme that suits you.

About

Photo of the instructor

I am Krista, a versatile movement professional based in Southwest Finland. I work in the field as a part-time entrepreneur. My passion for swimming instruction and exercise coaching comes from competitive swimming, which I practised from childhood through upper secondary school at national level.

I have taught swimming to adults and children for more than 12 years. I particularly enjoy teaching children the fundamentals and helping adults refine their freestyle technique. My teaching style is calm and encouraging, while still offering opportunities for those who want to challenge themselves.

In addition to swimming, I have led group exercise classes for nearly 10 years. Individual attention, safety, an encouraging atmosphere and the joy of movement are central to my instruction.

My experience includes aquatic exercise, HIIT and lower-body and core classes, circuit training, body maintenance, stretching and mobility, pole dance, children’s floor acrobatics, introductory aerial acrobatics and aerial yoga-inspired classes.

I am happy to support one-off movement goals, but my greatest passion is helping people plan and realise even their biggest dreams. Let’s make those dreams happen!
