Swim Monkeys
a swimming school based in Prague

Swim Monkeys was born from one simple wish: that swimming should be something anyone can simply start.

We’re a swimming school in Prague, for youth and adults, with one clear approach: light, open, and welcoming. Here everyone is invited to get in the water and begin from exactly where they are, at their own pace and in the style that suits them. The water welcomes every person as they are, and our role is simply to help them feel at home.

Our approach is light, young, and full of energy. And our message is simple: swimming does you good – for your body, your breath, and your head. And that’s enough to begin.

Our
goals

1. Making swimming accessible to everyone

Opening the door for those who always wanted to start but never knew where. No prerequisites, no entry threshold, no “are you fit enough?”.

2. Putting health at the centre

Swimming is one of the best activities for body and mind – heart, breathing, posture, joints, stress. We want people to feel it in their bones, not read it in a post.

3. Turning people into a better version of themselves

Not to beat someone else – but to feel capable. More capable, stronger, calmer. Sport as a way of life, not as an obsession.

4. Building a young and energetic community in Prague

A place where people come to swim, stay for the people, and return because it’s fun.

Our
advantages

1. Open to everyone – truly

No entrance tests, no admissions committee, no “minimum level”. You arrive, sign up, and swim.

2. Credits instead of subscriptions

No commitment to a package that locks you in. Buy credits and use them whenever you like – for individual or group sessions, as you wish.

3. Full control in your hands

Registration, booking slots, changes, and cancellations – all online, whenever it suits you. No phone calls, no waiting.

4. Convenient locations in Prague

We swim at central and accessible pools across the city, with public transport and parking nearby.

5. A different atmosphere

Funky, light, young. No closed-club feel. People come to swim and stay for the people.

6. Health first

We measure success by how you feel – not by how fast you swam. The goal is a strong body, good breathing, and a calm head.

Crew

The team behind every lesson

Behind every Swim Monkeys swimming lesson stands an entire team, carefully selected – coaches, assistant coaches, management, and back office – all working together so that you can get in the water and feel that someone is taking care of every detail, from the moment you book a session to the moment you leave the water with a smile.

Our entire team speaks Czech and English, so every swimmer feels at home from the very first word.

Professional leadership

George Fait / Head of Coaching

Our coaching team is led by George Fait, who sets the professional training program at Swim Monkeys and defines the standard we bring to the water. His experience, approach, and vision are the foundation of every session, whether in a group or one-on-one.

The team in full

Coaches

Lead the session itself – technique, breathing, rhythm, and personal progress

Management team

Why this matters

Our team is here so you feel good. In the water and out.

We believe good swimming starts with good people. Every member of our team was chosen for both their professionalism and the person they are – because here we love people, love the water, and love watching someone succeed.
