For more than 30 years, Plaváček has been guiding children and their parents through the world of water. It offers swimming courses for babies and older children, a unique combination of water, sauna and massage, and support for healthy child development – all in an environment that strengthens the bond between parents and children and brings joy through movement.
We are Plaváček. For more than 33 years, we have been guiding children and their parents through water and organizing swimming courses across the Czech Republic. Currently, we operate in 9 locations (Prague, Brno, Bystré u Poličky, Znojmo, Havlíčkův Brod, Nové Město na Moravě, Karlovy Vary, Žďár nad Sázavou, Želeč u Tábora).
Our certified swimming instructors enable even the youngest children, with the assistance of their parents, to explore their abilities in a water environment—from birth up to older school age.
Water is a natural environment for children from birth. Early exposure helps them build strong movement foundations that support overall development. Spending time in water from an early age strengthens both physical and mental resilience, boosts immunity, and fosters a positive relationship with movement.
About us
Our unique combination is water – sauna – massage. This concept has proven its value over 33 years of practice. In water, children learn to breathe, strengthen their bodies, and develop new skills. The sauna provides relaxation, warming of the whole body, and gentle introduction to cold exposure. Massage with natural oils soothes the child’s body, nurtures it, and strengthens the bond between parent and child.
We also visit families with children under 6 months old at home, where, in the safety of their own environment, we teach parents how to introduce their child to water, how to perform baby massage, and provide guidance on child care (psychomotor development, hardening, etc.).
We offer group swimming lessons for children from 3–12 months up to 15 years. Our courses also create opportunities for mothers on parental leave to meet, share experiences, build friendships, and support their children’s social development. Children meet their peers, learn cooperation, and respect individual differences. We also provide individual swimming lessons (including for adults).
Our family intensive courses combine swimming, sauna, massage, and quality time together. Whether you have a newborn or a teenager, you are welcome. These courses are suitable for all children, including those with special needs. It’s not just about swimming—it’s about shared family time, moments of calm, connection, and joy. Children play, explore water, and learn naturally in a safe and supportive environment, while parents relax, connect with others, and share their experiences.
Swimming for women supports mental well-being, helps maintain psychological balance, and serves as prevention against burnout—not only in parenting.
We also organize swimming courses for kindergartens and primary schools.
