Where Belonging, Friendship, Resilience & Joy Grow
BraveSwimmers is more than swimming lessons. It’s a safe and supportive community where children and young teens build confidence, resilience and friendships.
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.
