The Shut up and swim swimming school has been operating under the leadership of head coach Jakub since 2017. During that time, we have taught and improved more than 600 swimmers. We operate 7 pools and specialize in swimming for children, adults and seniors  from complete non-swimmers to triathletes who need to fine tune their technique and get faster.

We now offer approximately 60 lessons per week at 7 swimming pools in Prague (Ymca, Olšanka, Podolí, Axa, Tyršův dům, Výstaviště and Šutka) for 6 levels: Begginer I, II, Intermediate I, II and Master I and II. Now more than 300 swimmers regularly swim in groups with us!

Founder of the Swimming School Shut up and swim! I have been systematically developing this pleasure in my clients for more than 14 years in the pool and gym. I am the founder of the swimming association Shut up and swim, which brings together swimmers and non-swimmers of all levels and ages. I am a graduate of the Faculty of Education of TVS-ZSV. My teaching practice helped me perfectly not only to know how to lead the training, but also to determine its content. The combination of swimming and fitness will give your body both spirit and mind. Do you know any other sport you can do while lying down?

There’s enough water in the pool, so stop crying and swim!

He got to swimming at the age of eighteen through a triathlon, when he added swimming and training to cycling and running. As a weaker swimmer, he had to go through the whole process of learning all the swimming methods to better cope with the swimming part in triathlon races. Now I do not consider the swimming part as my weakness. In 2019 he graduated from FTVS with a specialization in triathlon and endurance multisports. He is currently continuing his Master’s studies at the Faculty.

Swimming shorts. For more than 12 years she competed swimming, participated in the Championship of the Republic and Games I., II. Summer Olympics of Children and Youth.

She discovered her love for swimming at the age of eighteen with no previous swimming background. She trained her technique to such an extent that she got into the university triathlon club, from which she embarked on a purely swimming path, where she represented the University only in swimming. Niky studied physical education and biology in her native Slovakia. She has been “swimming” with children from the age of three to adults and seniors for the fifth year. She has swum in different parts of the world with different types and nationalities of her clients, from which she has gained enormous experience. Now she works and enjoys coaching swimming so much that she likes to find time even in her busy schedule.

I have been swimming since childhood and I don’t remember a time when I didn’t know how to swim. Thanks to the high-quality training of coaches and enthusiasm for this sport, I master all swimming methods and decided to pursue this hobby professionally. I got into coaching to help swimmers and non-swimmers swim better. Swimming is for everyone, regardless of age.

For as long as I can remember, I have been at home in the water. In the first grade of elementary school, I swam competitively for Slavia. Then I returned to swimming in 2016, when I started with triathlon, which I am now doing at the top. In addition to being an instructor, I work as a bike and ski service mechanic.

I am a synchronized swimming coach. Now I am studying a follow-up master’s studio at FTVS UK. I feel at home in the water. I have been involved in synchronized swimming since I was 6 years old, and swimming has always been the basis for us. I have started at top competitions. When we started our bachelor’s studies, we stopped swimming at the top and started to devote ourselves to coaching. They are always engaged in coaching and enjoy it.

I have been in the pool since I was little and although I tried other sports, I always came back to swimming. From swimming courses, I got to competitive swimming and participation in the Czech championships. I am now a 1st-year FTVS student, majoring in physical education and sports.

I am a trained andragogist, but I work as a secondary school teacher. I really enjoy working with people, as well as swimming and skiing. In primary school, I swam competitively for TJ Bohemians Prague, since then I have been swimming only as a hobby, but intensively. I am a swimming coach III. classes and a skiing instructor. Swimming is my lifelong love, so hopefully semi will be able to spread this enthusiasm further!)

Swimming was my first sport that I did. Thanks to both parents, who also swam when I was young, I started swimming at the age of 5. Over time, I also had other sports hobbies, but I wouldn’t consider any of them as regenerating. In swimming, I like the opportunity to constantly improve and have fun at the same time. I think more people should start feeling this way, that’s why I took a swim teacher course to share my experience.

Pocházím z plavecké rodiny, takže jsem se od mala potápěl ve vodě. Od svých 7 let do 14 let jsem závodně plaval, ale pak přišla puberta a já se chtěl věnovat i jiným věcem. Ve 24 letech jsem se díky škole a rodině vrátil k plavání, ale už jako trenér a trenérská činnost mě naprosto pohltila. Baví mě pomáhat lidem zlepšovat jejich techniku plavání a zvyšovat jejich tělesnou kondici.

My first sport in childhood was swimming, which I have remained with to this day. Over time, I started coaching children in Sokol, and swimming coaching soon followed. I study Physiotherapy at FTVS and I enjoy combining school and water together – in my opinion, they belong together inextricably. In my free time, I play sports with autistic and visually impaired people, and in the winter I go to the mountains to teach skiing.

I have loved swimming since I was a little girl, and now as an adult, I have decided to devote myself fully to it and I have decided to pass on my joy to others. I am currently studying two majors at FTVS and I strongly hope to be able to help weaker swimmers or non-swimmers to overcome obstacles in swimming or fear of water. At the same time, it is important that even though we teach, we continue to develop our skills and maintain the regularity of self-improvement. It is always an advantage to set an example for clients.

Is swimming a part of your life and enjoy working with people?
So you’re right!
