Dive in, discover Dutch swim culture, and conquer your fear of water
Welcome to the Netherlands, where water isn’t just something that falls from the sky – it’s EVERYWHERE. From picturesque canals and hidden lakes to random ditches that seem to pop up out of nowhere, water is woven into the very fabric of Dutch life. If you’re new to the Netherlands, you’ve probably noticed that Dutch people swim as if they were born with webbed feet. But what if the idea of water makes your palms sweat? That’s where we come in. Well Cares Expat Swimming is here to help you overcome your fear of water and fully embrace Dutch swim culture.
Why swimming in the Netherlands is a must!
In the Netherlands, children often learn to swim before they even learn to ride a bike (which is saying something here!). They earn their swimming diplomas almost as a rite of passage, and for a very good reason. With so much water around us, swimming is a basic life skill. Whether you’re cycling along the Amsterdam canals, sailing with friends, or taking a scenic walk by a lake, there’s always a chance you might take an unexpected dip in the water. That’s why swimming here is a must.
Helping you overcome water phobia
But what if you come from a country where swimming isn’t as common or essential? Maybe the idea of diving into deep water makes you feel nervous or even downright scared. Don’t worry – we specialize in helping people who want to adapt to Dutch culture but wish to do so safely and comfortably at their own pace. At Well Cares Expat Swimming, we don’t just teach the basics. We guide you, step by step, along your swimming journey, helping you build confidence and find joy in the water.
Taking the plunge with a sense of humor!
We believe humor is as important as swimming technique. So when you join us, don’t expect to be perfect. We’re here to make sure you enjoy yourself and build self-confidence. And who knows? One day you might even laugh about those first panicky splashes. The best part? At Well Cares Expat Swimming, you’re (of course) free to make mistakes, show fear, and, most importantly, be yourself.
From fear to fun
Swimming in the Netherlands isn’t just practical; it’s also fun. Imagine the freedom you’ll feel once you’re able to float, paddle, or swim without fear. There’s something magical and calming about being in the water, and once you let go of your fear, you’ll feel it too. Now the fun begins: you’re integrated into Dutch water culture! Picture summertime: enjoying a sunny day, splashing around in a lake, river, or at the beach. Whether you spend time with family or friends, you’ll create new memories.
