Uinti Tampere offers adult technique courses as follows:

There are three different options for 5-session courses: technique, freestyle and breaststroke. In addition, there is a 15-session technique course and a training course. For those interested in more goal-oriented training, there is also a masters swimming group that meets twice a week. With the masters group, it is also possible to participate in competitions.

New 5-session courses start throughout the year.

At the beginning of the course, it is recommended to be able to swim 50 meters continuously and to manage in deep water by treading water. Floating and diving are also recommended skills before joining the course.

Basic equipment includes swimming goggles.
Course duration: August–May

Adult Training Course:

The adult training course is intended for swimmers who already master the basic swimming techniques and want guided swim training. As a foundation, it is recommended to have completed at least a 5-session technique course and a 5-session freestyle course. The main focus is on improving swimming fitness, without forgetting fine-tuning of technique. To ensure effective training, participants should already be familiar with the content of the technique courses when joining.

Equipment:
The basic equipment required is swimming goggles.
Course duration: August–May
Course fee: €65–75 / month (training 1 or 2 times / week)

Masters:

The Masters group is intended for adult swimmers who are interested in goal-oriented swimming, versatile swim training and competing. The aim is to refine technique and improve fitness, strength, speed and endurance. Practices are held twice a week at the Kaleva Swimming Centre, and the length of each session varies between approximately 2000–3000 m / 60 min.

To participate smoothly in the Masters group training, swimmers must have good command of all four strokes (freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly). In addition, if a swimmer does not have a previous swimming background, they must first attend a technique and/or training group.

Equipment:
The basic equipment consists of a swimsuit and goggles. Training often also uses fins and paddles; a snorkel, pull buoy and kickboard are also useful in practices, but they are not mandatory.
Price of the Masters group: €75 / month (2 practices / week)
