Geschichte

With 3 young children, founder Michael Elliott was highly frustrated with the availability of good swimming teaching and child friendly pools in Switzerland. In his native Australia, learn to swim programmes are more advanced, the standard of teaching is much higher and there are many child friendly swim schools with warm water. There is also a culture of learning to swim from a very young age (from 3 months)

He decided to become an Australian qualified swim teacher in order to teach his own children. After discussing the issue with many parents in Geneva and Vaud, it became very evident that that there was a huge demand for a better approach to children's swim teaching. He decided to go ahead and build a swim centre specifically designed for babies and children. That is how Red Whale began.

According to the WHO, drowning is the largest accidental killer of children between 1-5 years old in the world. Our vision is to teach as many children to swim as possible, as young as possible, so they are safe and confident in the water.
