Our Story
The Breathe Swimming Academy opened its doors in 2023 at DPS International School HS on Golf Course Extension Road, Sector 50 — and quickly became one of the most recommended places for swimming classes in Gurgaon. We started with a simple observation: most families near Gurgaon could find a pool easily enough, but far fewer could find a swimming coach in Gurgaon who taught proper stroke mechanics, breathing and water safety as a structured syllabus rather than as casual supervision.
Today the academy trains children and adults across four daily batches — from complete beginners who have never put their face in the water, through to competitive squad swimmers preparing for district, state and national meets. Every batch is deliberately kept small, every session is led by a certified coach, and every swimmer is tracked against clear stroke-by-stroke milestones so parents can see real progress rather than guess at it.
Our Vision
To make swimming a life skill that every child in Gurgaon has access to — not a luxury reserved for a few — and to build a pipeline of confident, technically sound swimmers who go on to represent Haryana and India. We want a family searching for a swimming academy near Gurgaon to find a place that takes both a nervous five-year-old and a national aspirant equally seriously.
Our Mission
We deliver safe, structured, small-batch coaching under certified and background-verified coaches in an all-weather, temperature-controlled pool. Our mission is to give every swimmer measurable stroke progression, genuine water confidence and a lifelong habit of fitness — built on the same standard our founder holds himself to: the D3 formula of Discipline, Dedication and Determination.
- Safety first — constant supervision, strict swimmer-to-coach ratios, clear pool rules
- Technique before speed — no swimmer is rushed past the fundamentals
- Measurable progress — documented milestones parents can actually see
- Respect for every level — the same coaching quality for beginners and competitors
