Will 2016 be your learn-to-swim year?

Will 2016 be your learn-to-swim year?

Published on 14 December 2015

Recently the ASA did a study which concluded that swimming is one of the nation’s sporting activities. We, of course, need no convincing of this, with thousands of people of all ages having lessons with us this year. They quoted that “250,000 adults have improved their swimming ability through teaching and coaching” and we at SwimExpert are pleased to have played our part in this; having helped this.

Our 1-2-1 lessons are the perfect way to learn to swim, whatever your age.

We provide a private lane in a quiet hotel pool, facilitating a relaxed and reassuring environment which many find helpful for overcoming a fear of water, or cracking difficult technique improvements as a competitive swimmer.  1-2-1 lessons are completely tailored to your needs and goals, with unique lesson plans complementing your strengths and helping you improve and achieve your goal. Our supportive instructors devote much time to planning and communicating, so even if they are away, you get the continuity you deserve, as well as sometimes a fresh perspective on your stroke.

The report also states that swimming is a unique sport; anyone can take part no matter of age or ability- and our experience more than reiterates this. In the last few months alone we’ve had swimmers over 80, wanting to improve their health with a fantastic low impact activity, adults with a lifelong fear of water being confident in the pool ready for their winter breaks abroad (and now looking forward to their summer holidays next year), children who came to us from water babies improving oand increasing their confidence and skill in the water, and everything in between. We aid triathletes and open water swimmers, subtly changing pool technique to equip you for the challenges of triathlon and open water swimming, and also give guidance to those who are swimming for rehabilitation. Within our team of superb teacher several are qualified and experienced in teaching those with disabilities as well.

Whatever your swimming need- we can help you next year!

It takes 20 hours (on average) to learn a new skill; and swimming is no exception. Our blocks of 20 are our most economical; saving up to £20 per lesson compared to our single lesson price.

With our progression guarantee in each lesson, starting 20 lessons in January means you can be confident that you, or your child, will be confident in the water and have considerably improved swimming well in time for your summer holidays.

Our carefully and individually planned lessons which are tailored to each individuals offer an opportunity for our experienced and highly qualified instructors to incorporate your needs and goals into the lesson so that no length, productivity is wasted, and every session you or your child gets closer to achieving their goal, be it swimming a faster race, or swimming for the first time.

We are getting very busy from January onward, so we recommend that you reserve them in advance with a deposit!

Transformative

Matthew is helping my son regain confidence as a swimmer after not enjoying swimming at school. Individual lessons are well worth the investment. He is a calm and encouraging teacher. I like the way he shows different techniques until he finds the right one for the child.

Matthew has been an amazing swim instructor

Matthew has been an amazing swim instructor for our autistic 5-year-old son. Our son is non-verbal, and Matthew has shown incredible patience, understanding, and skill in helping him learn to swim. He creates a calm, supportive environment and has built a wonderful connection with him. We are so proud of the progress our son has made and it’s largely thanks to Matthew’s dedication and encouragement. Seeing him grow in confidence and do so brilliantly in the water has been fantastic. We can’t recommend Matthew highly enough. Thank you !

Excellent Triathlon Swim Coaching with Hollie

I’ve been having swimming lessons with Hollie while training for a triathlon, as I wanted to improve my freestyle technique and feel more confident in the water. Hollie has been brilliant, she has a great eye for detail and was able to quickly pick up on areas I needed to work on, giving clear, practical feedback that made a real difference. Her coaching style is encouraging and very focused on technique, which has helped me understand what to improve and how to improve it. She has also given me specific training drills to work on outside of lessons, helping me build my fitness, improve my technique and make my training more structured. I’ve come away from the lessons feeling much more confident in my swimming and better prepared for my triathlon training. Highly recommend Hollie to anyone looking to improve their swimming, whether for fitness, technique or event training.

Great 1:2:1 swimming Teacher

We could not be happier with Chester as a swimming teacher for our 5 yr old daughter. She had really helped grow her confidence in the water.

SwimExpert: Chester (Kam Sau Y) instructor

Chester (Kam Sau Y) has been a brilliant instructor. My son, Jack, and we as parents were extremely impressed during the trial session so much so that Jack immediately asked if Chester could be his swimming instructor. She was originally fully booked, and the only available slot was 5:30–6:00 pm on Sundays, which didn’t work for us. Despite this, she was incredibly kind and adjusted her schedule to start earlier so she could accommodate us. That alone shows her dedication and commitment. Jack has now completed his fifth lesson. He loves and keeps looking forward to his every session and we can already see a noticeable improvement in both his skills and his confidence in the water. We especially appreciate that Chester incorporates life‑saving techniques, such as what to do in an accidental fall into the water something particularly important given the recent news during the hot weather. It truly shows how much she cares about her students’ safety and overall development. What we value most about Chester is her focus on building strong foundations. Whenever Jack performs a technique incorrectly, she stops him immediately to correct it, ensuring he learns the right way from the start. This level of attention and professionalism makes a huge difference, as it prevents bad habits that would be harder to fix later on. So thank you Chester!

Excellent Swimming Instructor – Highly Recommend Marius

I started swimming lessons as a complete beginner, and Marius has been an excellent instructor. He is patient, professional and explains techniques clearly, making them easy to understand and put into practice. Each lesson is well structured and I can see a noticeable improvement in my swimming ability since I started. Marius is encouraging, knowledgeable and genuinely invested in helping his students progress. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to learn swimming or improve their technique.

Mel B Swim Expert Basingstoke - got my son swimming in 6 sessions

Mel B has been fantastic in getting my 10 year old son to swim. I honestly could not believe my eyes, seeing the rapid improvement in my boy’s ability. We’d tried group lessons at the town pool when he was younger. I spent £400 there in total and he’d learnt nothing. So I thought I’d give 1-2-1 lessons a go. The change in my son’s attitude was instant. Before getting into the pool with Mel B, he was a boy who wouldn’t put his head back in the water. Within 15 minutes he was floating on his back! Yesterday, after his sixth session he swam his first length! Mel B teaches in a methodical way, making it fun too, so my boy doesn’t realise he’s being gently encouraged to do more and progress. Her attention and focus on their learning is 100 per cent. Thanks so much Mel! (Apollo Hotel, Basingstoke)
