The Educaqua Story

Educaqua is the story of three swimming enthusiasts. After many years of competition, we became instructors to share our passion with as many people as possible. Together, we cumulate over a century of practice and more than 50 years of teaching swimming, from beginner to competitive levels. Our respective professional experiences also include teaching children between the ages of 3 and 12, as well as training in psychomotricity.

Our Findings
After all these years of teaching swimming, we have found that there are always the same challenging points in learning: the apprehension of water, the fear of immersion, moving effectively in the water (properly “feeling” the water). As for parents, they often feel helpless or unequipped to support their children in this learning process. So, we asked ourselves a simple question: What toy would be both fun and help develop fundamental skills for swimming? The goal is obviously not to replace the training provided by an experienced instructor but to develop fundamental skills that would give beginners a comfort that will facilitate their subsequent learning of swimming. This approach will also allow people who already know how to swim to strengthen certain skills. Several hundred hours of discussion, prototypes, and testing later... Educaqua was born!
