About FitPit

FitPit is a swimming instruction company founded in 2015. We teach children and adults to swim, build confidence in the water and improve their swimming skills in Helsinki and Espoo.

We don’t just teach you to swim — we change your relationship with water

Our goal is to help every swimmer feel safer, more confident and more comfortable in the water.

Private pool facilities

Our lessons take place in private swimming facilities without public swimmers in the pool. A calmer environment helps children and adults focus on learning and build confidence in the water.

Small groups and personal instruction

Our group sizes are kept small so that instructors can give swimmers more individual attention and support. Children’s small groups have only 2–3 swimmers, and group sizes vary by service and course.

More than 17,000 customers have already taken part in FitPit swimming activities, with over 200,000 guided swimming sessions delivered.
