The breaststroke is one of the most well-known swimming techniques and is preferred by many swimmers due to its versatility and effectiveness. The breaststroke uses the so-called undulation technique, which is an undulating water position that constantly changes depending on the propulsion phase. This technique requires a high level of agility. Compared to other swimming techniques such as the crawl or backstroke, breaststroke is characterized by a number of special features.
One special feature of breaststroke is the movement of the arms and legs. In contrast to the crawl, in which the arms and legs work in one continuous movement, in breaststroke the arms and legs move one after the other and require precise coordination. The arm movement is divided into an outward, pull and return phase. The leg movement is divided into a pull and stroke phase. Important nodal points in breaststroke are the head position, stable wrists, gliding phases and body tension. Special attention must also be paid to breathing.
In order to learn the breaststroke optimally in practice, it is important to first understand the basic techniques of the swimming technique. This includes the correct posture, the movement of the arms and legs and the breathing technique. Swimmers should focus on improving their technique rather than concentrating on speed. By improving their technique, they can improve their efficiency in the water and increase their speed.
The breaststroke requires a high level of coordination and concentration in order to learn it optimally in practice. By training regularly and focusing on technique, swimmers can improve their performance in the water and achieve their swimming goals. In the course of the lessons, all the points mentioned are addressed and practiced. The methodical structure is also discussed and various corrective measures are demonstrated.

As a centrally symmetrical movement, the crawl is easier to learn than other types of swimming. Due to the low water resistance, it is the fastest way to move in the water with comparatively little effort. It also has a "healthier" leg movement, as the alternating arm pull and continuous leg stroke generate uninterrupted propulsion and the knee is used as a hinge joint.
The crucial point is the arm pull. It is important to note that the arm pull exerts pressure backwards, not downwards. There are different technique variations for the crawl, such as the front-square swim (crawl with glide phase), the paddle principle and the swing principle. In contrast to the other two swimming techniques, breaststroke and dolphin, the water position in the crawl is stretched, with a lower angle of attack of the body to the waterline. Correct breathing is a frequent obstacle. Many find it difficult to find the right rhythm or start exhaling too late. A good swimming coach recognizes mistakes in their clients' technique and knows how to teach them the correct technique using aids and partial exercises. There is no single recipe that works for every client, as the sources of errors and individual comprehension vary greatly.
In the course of the lesson, the basics of crawling, water position, rotation and breathing are developed. Subsequently, the correct leg stroke is discussed in more detail and the correct execution of the arm stroke on land and in the water is practiced. In addition to learning the correct technique, emphasis is also placed on being able to teach it to others.

With methodical series of exercises, we look at how to correct typical mistakes in crawl swimming/breaststroke/backstroke/dolphin swimming with and without aids. We then work on rhythm and exercises to improve speed and tempo. Of course, starts and turns are also part of the in-depth training!
Show chapter
The back crawl is very similar to the movement sequence of the classic crawl swim. The biggest difference lies in the supine position. This means that your mouth and nose are always out of the water, which eliminates coordination difficulties when breathing. As the technique is relatively easy to learn, this variant is particularly suitable for fitness athletes. The positive health effect of this variant is also a major advantage. People who sit a lot in everyday life in particular can benefit from training the muscles used in the back crawl. The gentle training of the back, gluteal, abdominal, shoulder and arm muscles can help with back pain or at least prevent it.
Of course, there are also some basic technical principles to follow when swimming backstroke. These include, above all, the body and head position as well as the correct arm stroke and leg stroke. A good swimming coach knows these and can support their customers with the right coaching points and various aids to help them recognize and relearn incorrectly learned techniques or practice the correct technique right from the start. During the lessons, the correct water position and head position are discussed first, followed by learning the correct arm stroke on land and in the water, and finally the correct technique is worked out step by step using methodical series in the water. Typical mistakes are discussed and corrective measures are shown.

Swimming training is an effective and popular method for improving physical fitness and optimizing swimming technique. Effective lesson design and a correct methodical structure are of great importance for successful swimming training.
The lesson structure can vary depending on the objective and performance level. In general, swimming training begins with a warm-up program consisting of light swimming exercises or techniques. This is followed by the main part, which is aimed at improving swimming technique, strength and endurance. The main part can be designed using swimming sets with different intensities, distances and breaks. The training session ends with a cool-down phase consisting of relaxed swimming or stretching exercises.
The swimming training methodology can vary depending on the focus of the training session. One important aspect is the improvement of swimming technique, which can be achieved through specific exercises. For example, swimming boards, pull buoys or fins can be used to improve technique and strength in certain areas of the body.
Another important methodology in swimming training is to increase endurance and speed through interval training and swimming sets with different intensities. The training can be focused on a specific distance or time in order to achieve an improvement in performance.
Overall, effective lesson planning and methodology in swimming training is important in order to achieve progress and avoid injuries. Targeted planning and orientation of training can improve physical fitness and swimming technique.

Training theory in swimming is a special theoretical discipline that aims to optimally prepare swimmers for competitions and improve their performance. Based on the training theory from Sportkompetent, various swimming-specific aspects are taken into account, such as training intensity, training duration, technique and regeneration. In the course of the lessons, our course participants learn the theoretical background of conditional abilities in swimming, energy supply, load parameters and training control as well as relevant training methods in swimming.
An important aspect of training theory in swimming is training intensity. The intensity is determined by the swimming speed, which is usually measured in meters per minute. The higher the intensity, the greater the demands on the body and the greater the strain on the organism. One way to increase the intensity is through targeted interval training, in which short sections are swum at high intensity with short breaks in between. Another important aspect is the duration of training. The duration of training depends on the individual performance level of the swimmer and can range from 30 minutes to several hours, depending on the objective. It is important that the training duration is not too short or too long in order to achieve an optimum training effect.
In addition to stressing the body, regeneration is also an important part of swimming training theory. Targeted regeneration measures such as stretching, massage or rest phases between training sessions prepare the body for the next training session. With the knowledge they have gained, our course participants are able to create scientifically sound training plans and units and adapt their training to suit every performance level.

Depending on the funding institution, the training costs are either paid directly after the funding application has been confirmed (e.g. AMS) or reimbursed in full or in part after successful completion of the training (e.g. waff). Please contact the funding institutions yourself to find out how the funding works.
Yes, the majority of our courses are suitable for educational leave.
If you want to continue your education without terminating your employment, you can arrange educational leave with your employer. This means you will be released from work for the duration of your training.
Plan your educational leave with us now! We will be happy to clarify your individual training requirements with you in a personal, non-binding consultation.
You can take your educational leave for a maximum of 1 year within 4 years - there are 3 options:
It is important that your employer agrees to you taking educational leave. You must provide evidence of the training plans issued by us to the extent of 20 hours per week in the case of full-time educational leave, or at least 10 hours in the case of part-time educational leave.
You must regularly provide evidence of the progress of your training. For example, in the form of examinations or confirmation of attendance, which you will receive from us.
Swimming coaches give swimming lessons to individuals or groups. They teach various swimming techniques, such as breaststroke, crawl, backstroke and dolphin. The coach analyzes the customers swimming movements, often using video recordings, in order to correct any mistakes and develop a clean technique.
The average salary of a swimming instructor in a permanent position is €1,980 gross per month. However, the focus is more on swimming lessons for groups. If you become self-employed as a swimming coach and prepare athletes professionally for competitions, your income will be significantly higher. You can charge around €65 for an individual lesson. However, it must be taken into account that the entrance fee to the swimming pool must also be covered.
Swimming coaches usually work independently, or in cooperation or permanent employment with swimming and sports schools as well as in indoor and outdoor swimming pools. Swimming coaches and swimming instructors are also often employed by swimming, gymnastics and sports clubs as well as hotels with wellness and fitness facilities.
We regularly list job advertisements from fitness studios on our Sportkarriere platform. There you can apply directly for jobs as a fitness trainer, branch manager, instructor or studio employee.

Great training and super nice people. You can tell how much emphasis is placed on conveying the necessary knowledge to the course participants in an understandable way. I was even kindly allowed to take a course completely free of charge after there were somewhat problematic and disruptive participants in my group. I will 100% take more courses with you in the future because learning is extremely fun, especially thanks to the friendly staff!

All learning materials were provided clearly and in sufficient detail. The additional videos mean there is something for every type of learner. All in all, the training and exam went well. I can definitely recommend flexyfit and will be happy to book and recommend further training courses with you again!

The best thing that could have happened to me is this academy. Access to participants is excellent. All employees are very competent, very professional and very friendly. A person can learn so much that it is indescribably good. I would recommend it to everyone. When I arrived in Austria I was looking for something like this and luckily I found this academy and signed up for the course without hesitation. Everything we get in return is worth 100 times more than what we pay. Indescribable experience, indescribable people, once again and 1000 times I say: Thank you for everything, thank you for this indescribable experience. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU

I was able to learn a lot of new things as part of my training at the Flexyfit Academy and was able to take on a new, demanding challenge with my chosen course. The structure of the training courses is very understandable and clear, so that you can master the distance learning course on your own without any problems. If there were any questions, ambiguities or isolated problems, the Academy team was always quick to help and we could always find a common solution. Here and there I would have liked a little more practical relevance. Nevertheless, I always felt very comfortable, had great speakers and with my degree as a qualified medical sports coach, many new doors are now open to me :)
