Learning to swim properly—with refined stroke technique, breath control, and stamina—takes a minimum of 12 weeks. Our curriculum focuses on specific milestones, meaning you don't 'graduate' when the calendar says so, but only when you demonstrate the ability to swim 25 meters continuously, unassisted, with proper form. This isn't about collecting certificates; it's about water mastery. ### Why 10-Day Courses Fail Most swimming schools treat water safety like a hobby. They teach kids to float, call it a 'survival skill,' and hand out a certificate. But floating isn't swimming. When you cannot coordinate your breathing while moving, or maintain stamina over a full lap, you are not a swimmer. You are just someone who hasn't drowned yet. ### The Sportiqo Difference: Milestone-Based Training Our approach in Mumbai is built on an Australian coaching framework, overseen by Olympian Virdhawal Khade. We strip away the shortcuts. Every student is tracked against clear, objective milestones: * **Milestone 1:** Water familiarization and floating basics. * **Milestone 2:** Coordinated movement and kicking efficiency. * **Milestone 3:** Breath control and rotation. * **Milestone 4:** Full stroke execution and endurance (25m). ### Where We Train We operate in premium, climate-controlled environments at BKC, Prabhadevi, Mumbai Central YMCA, and Cuffe Parade. Because our pools are heated and indoor, your learning doesn't stop for the weather. ### Strict Quality Control We maintain a strict 1:5 coach-to-student ratio. This isn't just to keep you safe—it is to ensure that a coach is correcting your elbow entry, hip position, or head rotation in real-time. If you are looking for a place to drop off your child and hope for the best, look elsewhere. If you want them to leave with a skill that could save their life, book a session with us. ## About Sportiqo I founded Sportiqo because I was tired of seeing parents pay for pool babysitting.
