Testimonials

Stories that are part of our journey

  • Ruth started lessons over a year ago. She couldn’t swim and was wary of the teacher… haha, but over time she loosened up and came to trust her. Today she’s a friend of the water and so confident that she says she knows how to swim and doesn’t need help. She jumps in, does somersaults and everything! It was a joyful process. So grateful to the teacher! Highly recommend.

  • I’ve never been coached as well as the way she coaches! Individualized workouts, daily follow-up, clear explanations, dynamic sessions! I’m at a loss for words for so many good things — I love the method!

    Online training student

  • In 2025 I started swimming lessons with Sampa Natação. At first I struggled even to put my face in the water, but I gradually improved with practice, repetition and proper guidance. After a few months I learned to swim and lost my fear of the water. Her technical quality, teaching skills and above all her patience made a difference throughout the whole process.

FAQ

Quick questions

All questions

Where do Sampa Natação lessons take place?

In-person lessons take place at your building’s pool in São Paulo: the coach comes to you at the agreed time. Online training for adults can be done in any pool, in any city or country.

Do I need to know how to swim to start?

No. The Student Journey starts at "Baby fish", with water adaptation, breathing and building confidence, and moves at each student’s pace until all four strokes are mastered.

How do I get started?

In three steps: fill in the form (or message us on WhatsApp), book your assessment and meet your coach, then start your Sampa Journey in the format and frequency you choose.

Do you teach babies and children?

Yes. Babies and children take private lessons or lessons in pairs and small groups, with length adapted to their age; in the first levels of the journey, a parent can join them in the water.
