About Vladswim
Vladswim is a specialist swim coaching squad based in central Sydney, founded and led by head coach Vlad Mravec for swimmers who want to move through the water more efficiently and take on bigger challenges. From nervous beginners to seasoned open-water athletes, the focus is on teaching people to genuinely swim better through clear, step-by-step technique.
The program spans morning and evening pool squads, private sessions and the renowned stroke-correction course, alongside structured open-water preparation that scales from short ocean swims right up to marathon and channel crossings. Swimmers describe transformative results, learning to relax, glide and connect with the water rather than fight it, often within just a handful of focused lessons under Vlad and his coaching team.
Beyond the regular squads, Vladswim builds a real community around the sport, with Saturday ocean swims, cold-water camps, the Vladswim Challenge events and even overseas training holidays. It suits anyone from daily lap swimmers wanting more efficiency to ambitious endurance swimmers chasing major distance goals, all supported by positive, knowledgeable coaching.
