Learning to swim starts with safe and positive experiences in the water
A calm environment helps children learn
In our private pools, children can practise without the noise and distractions of a public swimming hall.
At FitPit swimming schools, there are no public swimmers in the pool during lessons. Play, supportive instruction and positive experiences help children build confidence in the water and learn new skills.
Swimming schools for different skill levels
Children can start without any previous swimming experience or continue at a level that matches their current skills. Swimming schools are available from age three.
Only 55% of Finnish sixth graders meet the definition of swimming ability.

What our customers say
-
Please bring a swimsuit, towel and swimming goggles. Well-fitting goggles are an important part of a comfortable swimming experience. Your child may also wear a swim cap or bring their own swimming equipment if they wish.
-
FitPit swimming schools are available for children aged 3 and up. Groups are divided by age and skill level so that teaching matches the child’s stage of development.
Each group has its own skill requirement. Please check the age and skill requirements in the online store before booking. -
FitPit swimming lessons are held in Helsinki and Espoo. You can find the available locations in our online store by using the location filter.
-
A parent may accompany the child to the pool area before the lesson, but the child participates independently. Parents do not join the child in the water.
To support a calm learning environment, parents are asked to leave the pool area when the lesson begins.
-
If, at the start of the swimming lesson, it becomes clear that another group would be a better fit, we can move your child to a different group if space is available. The most important thing is that the child is in a group where learning feels safe and meaningful.
