About Us
Bolle Adult Swim School was created to help adults finally learn to swim and to guarantee their success. Non-swimmer adults must first overcome their anxiety and fear of water. Our swim school was founded in 1976 in Germany and since then, we have continually perfected what we do. You can read a bit of our history in this 1976 magazine article or this 1978 Frankfurt newspaper article.
Bolle Swim School in the 1980s
Klaus Bolle, founder of Bolle Adult Swim School, operated 7 adult swim schools in Germany, serving students from 9 European Countries and the US. Since the beginning it was obvious to Klaus, that privacy and ideal teaching conditions would be the key to success. Keeping spectators and children out eliminates distractions and embarrassments, allowing for dedicated focus on learning to swim.
Arizona Today!
Over the years, our first goal has not changed, eliminating fear of water. Teaching the proper arm and leg movements is important, but only after fear and anxiety has been eliminated. Once fear has been overcome, swimming can be learned quite quickly. Today students come from all over the globe to learn from Klaus how to swim in just 4 days!
