KURA – your bilingual swimming school in Berlin.
When am I the right one?
When am I the right one?
… for me, it means arriving in the here and now and engaging with our body awareness.
Our lives these days are mostly stressful and complex. Even children run from one appointment to the next with a full to-do list and exam stress. It doesn’t let up in adulthood…
We no longer have a place where we can fully relax and try things out.
Free from electronic devices and distractions, we can utilise the natural buoyancy in the water for swimming and enjoy the weightlessness and silence of diving to the full.
I am Ralf and I have been a master craftsman for pool operations for over 20 years with national and international experience.
At school, I learnt what a difference it makes whether it “clicks” in your head or whether you just follow instructions. The results were so fundamentally different that my teachers didn’t even want to believe that I could deliver something so “different”.
I transfer this aha-effect to my work as a swimming teacher and to my swimming school KURA.
It is a heartfelt concern to me that children recognise their own abilities and then develop them further. Swimming, jumping and diving become child’s play.
I use positive language, international coaching methods and teaching techniques. In this way, my students develop self-CONFIDENCE, self-TRUST and a healthy self-CONSCIOUSNESS, both in and out of the water.

We communicate at eye level and respect (current) boundaries and wishes. Overcoming succeeds from within and not from without.
A secure body feeling in the water gives self-confidence and enables people to act in a more self-determined way in other areas of life as well.
Community and a strong team encourage learning through play. Children in particular learn a lot from each other and like to share their successes with others.
We see time and time again how children and even adults recharge their batteries in the water and become real mood boosters.

“All our participants grow beyond themselves several times during their course.” – sums it up in a nutshell. But actually it is much more than that. Together we discover talents, feel joy, celebrate successes and have lots of fun.
Dear Ralf, you helped my son to overcome his fears and taught him to swim. He didn't even want to jump into the water, but now he really enjoys it and doesn't want to leave the water. The whole thing in just 10 lessons. Outstanding performance by an outstanding teacher! We want to continue learning with you. He will not unlearn what you teach him! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Ralf really is the best swimming instructor in the world. It's incredible how quickly he gained our son's trust and took away his worries about diving and swimming backstroke.
By swimming every day in the two-week course, success was quickly achieved and the seahorse was the reward on top.
Ich habe noch nie einen so ausgeglichenen und geduldigen Schwimmlehrer erlebt.
We will also take the advanced course and our son is looking forward to more swimming lessons. Thank you very much!!!
Great swimming teacher, you can tell that he enjoys teaching children how to swim. My daughter is rather shy, but Ralf was able to gain her trust very quickly. Super teacher, I can only recommend. Our daughter fell ill during the course - catch-up appointments were quickly found and she was able to take her seahorse home with her after 10 sessions. Thank you and please keep up the good work!!!
Ralf is simply a really good swimming teacher, always in the water with the children, always at eye level, with a lot of patience and without pressure. The kids learn that water is great fun, they learn to swim at their own pace and are highly motivated by Ralf. Our child has made great progress in swimming, self-confidence and self-security have grown enormously.
Mega swimming teacher, absolute recommendation. Ralf adapts to the individual needs of each student and you can always feel that the job is his passion. We enjoyed the fantastic location, Strandbad Wendenschloss, every time. My son enjoyed going to every swimming lesson and was proud to take his seahorse home with him at the end, quite unexpectedly.
Our 4-year-old is a total water rat and we want him to be safe in the water and learn to swim. Thanks to a recommendation, Ralf was quickly chosen.
However, our little one is very particular when it comes to being taught something. Especially when it's a stranger. As with most 4-year-olds, just getting to know them is an act that needs to be approached with a great deal of sensitivity. It usually takes quite a while and a few encounters for the short one to loosen up with someone he doesn't know. But what can I say, Ralf managed it within 5 minutes. He found access to him super quickly. Since then, Ralf has been his mate and he keeps asking when we'll see him again. Strong performance Ralf.
Without Ralf, my daughter would probably never have learnt to swim without fear.
We tried several swimming courses and each time my daughter's confidence was disappointed because the teachers always expected too much and too quickly from her to implement the techniques. She visibly lost courage and was disappointed and anxious. Then we first booked a private swimming lesson with Ralf and then a swimming course with 5 other children at the ARZ. My daughter blossomed and became more and more confident and the group encouraged her. One course later she swims and I will never forget the moment when she swims through the water, full of pride and detached. Ralf creates trust and is infinitely patient, calm, funny and absolutely appreciative. He has paved the way for my daughter and we will continue with him until the seahorse and my son is already registered :). Thank you Ralf for helping my daughter to regain her strength and for not giving up on giving her back her confidence in herself. I have never experienced a course where the children have so much laughter and fun and really EVERY child enjoys going.
