Swimming with purpose.

BraveSwimmers uses swimming as a powerful tool to build self-esteem and emotional resilience.

Our Programs

Our programs are tailored to meet children at different ages and stages – from playful first experiences in the water to building confidence, resilience, and friendships as they grow.

  • A gentle and confident start in the water

    BraveBabies is designed to give babies and their parents a positive, safe, and reassuring introduction to the water.

    Each session follows a clear, consistent structure, helping babies recognize what comes next and feel safe and secure in the water. Through gentle movement, repetition, and close interaction with a parent, babies are encouraged to explore the water at their own pace.

    The focus is on building water confidence, body awareness and early water safety skills – always with respect for each baby’s individual readiness and never through pressure or force.

    Parents are guided on how to support and handle their baby confidently and safely in the water.

    BraveBabies creates a strong foundation for future swimming – built on trust, confidence,and positive experiences in the water.

  • Gentle, playful sessions where young children gain water confidence through fun and exploration. Focus on feeling safe, happy, and free in the water – no pressure, only encouragement.

  • A supportive space to develop swimming skills, build confidence, and enjoy the water. Children learn to trust themselves, make friends, and celebrate progress in every session.

  • For young teens looking for more than just lessons. These sessions strengthen resilience, foster friendships, and create a sense of belonging – while continuing to grow skills and confidence in the pool.

  • Whether you are learning to swim, returning to the water, or looking to improve your technique, BraveAdults offers personalized lessons tailored to your individual needs.

    With a calm, supportive approach, I focus on building your confidence and improving your technique, breathing, and stamina—at your own pace.

    Whether your goal is to feel safe in the water, enjoy a holiday by the pool, swim with your children, or become a more confident swimmer, I will meet you where you are.

  • Tailored lessons for children or teens who benefit from individual guidance. Sessions adapt to each swimmer’s pace, needs, and goals – always in a safe and encouraging environment.

About Me

My name is Lisa Thrane, and I am the founder of BraveSwimmers. With a background as a counsellor and former competitive swimmer, I have spent more than two decades supporting children, teenagers, and families in Singapore and Denmark.

BraveSwimmers grew out of my belief that swimming is not only about technique – it is about creating a space where young people feel safe, connected, and proud of themselves.

Here, children and teens can develop confidence, build friendships, and enjoy the freedom of learning in a positive and encouraging environment.

What Parents Say.

In 2021, when I left Singapore after more than 20 years, many families shared kind words that touched me deeply. Their voices reminded me why I do this work. Now that I’m back, I’m excited to continue supporting children and teens on their swimming journey through BraveSwimmers.
