Learning to Swim as an Adult in Miami Beach
Adults can start swimming lessons with no experience. Private lessons begin with confidence in the water and basic skills, then build breathing and stroke technique at your pace. In Miami Beach, Theo Marcopoulos coaches each lesson himself.
Can I start if I cannot swim at all?
Yes. Describe your experience and your confidence in water when you inquire. Theo discusses a suitable starting point and pool setting before arranging a lesson.
What does a first lesson work on?
The starting point is what feels comfortable and what feels difficult. From there, lessons work on confidence in the water, breathing coordinated with movement, body position and timing. Practice can isolate one element before bringing it back into the stroke.
Where do lessons take place?
Lessons require a suitable pool and permission for coaching. A condo or residential pool can work when it is suitable and coaching is allowed. Share your pool location and access arrangements when you inquire.
Who teaches the lessons?
Theo Marcopoulos is a former competitive swimmer. Le Dauphiné reported him third in the 100 m breaststroke at the French championships in Hyères in July 2000. He holds the BNSSA, a French aquatic safety and rescue qualification issued in 2000 and listed as part of his qualification history. His experience includes helping Paralympic swimmer David Smetanine prepare for competition. His certificate of insurance lists Aquatic Exercise. View Theo’s experience and credentials.
How much do adult swimming lessons cost?
Swimming lessons are quoted separately from private training. Formats, rates and duration are agreed individually, based on your goal and the pool.
Is there a minimum age?
Theo does not train clients under 13. Ages 13 to 17 are considered after Theo’s assessment, with parent or guardian consent, appropriate supervision and suitable pool arrangements. Read more about private swimming lessons in Miami Beach.
