Kids learn to swim through play — and ask to come back
Our little ones look forward to every session like meeting a friend. The coach doesn't force — they turn the lesson into an adventure: games against the “water element”, planned in advance for the skill at hand. This way a child learns remarkably fast and keeps their calm and boundaries.

We have been teaching children to swim since 2014. Each child starts differently: some enter the water without a second thought, while others need time to settle in beside the pool wall.
A child works one-on-one with a coach or in a group for children aged 3–12. Ask the coordinator about group composition, participant numbers and a suitable format before booking.
Lessons run at four pools across the city, in Azerbaijani, Russian and English.
How we work
The ProFit method grew out of child psychology. The main principle: the child owes no one anything. When a little one wants to “show character”, the coach redirects attention into a game and keeps teaching through it.
What age makes sense to start
From birth to three years
The child is in the water together with a parent. There is no technique yet. There is getting used to water, trust, and playing together. A baby learns that water is safe, and that stays with them for a long time.
From three years
The child works with the coach alone. At this age they understand an instruction, can repeat a movement, and, more importantly, are able to come to an agreement with an adult who is not their mother.
From six or seven
Real technique begins: front crawl, backstroke, breaststroke.
There is no universal right age. But the later someone first gets into water, the more likely it is that you will have to deal with fear first and teach swimming second.
The child's path
- 01
Single lesson — 40 AZN
The coach watches how the child behaves in the water and recommends a start.
- 02
Getting to know the water
Breathing, submersion, gliding without fear.
- 03
Stroke technique
Front crawl, backstroke and beyond; moving to a group by level.
What happens in a lesson
A one-on-one or group lesson at a branch lasts 60 minutes, with the coach and pool included in the price. It starts with a warm-up and explanation, then continues in the water.
The coach stays close for the whole lesson. With small children and with anyone who cannot swim yet, that means literally within arm's reach. Nobody sends a child off to try on their own before they are ready.
A lesson is usually built like this: getting comfortable in the water, work on one specific skill, then a game at the end. The game is not a reward for effort. It is part of the method, because in a game a child will do what they would refuse to do on command.
Parents are welcome in the pool area. It helps some children and distracts others. The coach will tell you which applies in your case.
If your child is afraid of the water
This is one of the most common reasons people come to us. And it is almost never something a child was born with. It is a consequence: a bad dive, someone pushed them, or an adult decided to dunk them so they would get used to it.
We do not unlearn fear by force. In the first lessons a child may not go deeper than waist level at all, and that is a normal part of the work rather than wasted time. The coach first restores the feeling that water is safe, and only then starts teaching.
Each child takes their own time to become comfortable in the water. Avoid rushing them or expecting a result by a particular lesson; discuss your child's comfort and next steps with the coach.
One-on-one or in a group
- One-on-one — maximum attention, fast progress.
- Groups for children aged 3–12 — lessons alongside other children. Tell the coordinator about your child's age and experience: group composition, participant numbers and a suitable format are clarified before booking. Group lessons
Group or one-on-one
One-on-one
Makes sense if a child is afraid of the water, if they have special needs, if you need a result quickly, or if they are shy around other children. The coach works only with them and the pace adjusts completely.
A group for children aged 3–12
Lessons alongside other children. Ask the coordinator about group composition and participant numbers. Compare the totals and lesson counts for group and individual packages on the prices page.
You can discuss individual and group formats before booking. Children's groups are for ages 3–12; ask the coordinator about a suitable option, taking your child's experience into account.
What to bring
Swimwear, a cap, a towel, flip-flops and goggles. Caps and goggles can be bought on site if forgotten.
Come 10 to 15 minutes early, so your child can change and look around without rushing. Hurry before a first lesson spoils more than people expect.

One-on-one packages at Emerald start at 25 AZN per lesson. Aquasport and Emerald groups cost 130 AZN for 12 lessons (about 10.83 AZN each). Branch lessons last 60 minutes, coach and pool included. Prices.

FAQ

Groups are for children aged 3–12. Ask the coordinator about participant numbers and the composition of a particular group before booking. One-on-one lessons are also available.
What if my child is afraid of water?
We never force or throw a child into the water. In the first lessons the child may not go deeper than waist level at all. The coach works through play at the child's pace. The time needed to become comfortable in the water varies; discuss progress and next steps with the coach.
