Really impressed with Lauren's swim lessons for our 5 year old, who completed a 5 day 1-2-1 swim course at St John's Beaumont in Old Windsor. She gave our little one a real boost in swimming confidence, teaching tricky skills with patience. Lauren could get our daughter to focus for the full lesson, which isn't always easy, quickly building a good relationship and was clear and encouraging. She also had lots of great games up her sleeve to keep it really fun! Our daughter absolutely loved the course and was sad when it finished, asking when she could come back! Will definitely book another, thank you.

Rachel is an outstanding swim instructor in the Reading area. She’s patient, calm, and funny, which makes lessons enjoyable and stress-free. Rachel explains technique clearly, adapts to my pace, and has boosted my confidence and technique quickly. Qualified and professional, she offers flexible scheduling for adults and triathletes. Highly recommended.

I have been having lessons with Beth for a while now and in my 1 hour lessons I feel I am making great progress. She breaks down what I need to learn into very small steps, and is happy to keep repeating her words. She is incredibly patient and encouraging, helping me to achieve my goal of being a confident swimmer at my very advanced age.

Had the privilege to watch Matty teach a lesson and he was so respectful of the other users in the pool. He’s a shining example of how to integrate children swimming lessons into an adult spa environment. Thanks Matty, you are a star.

Rachel T. is absolutely the best swim instructor I've ever seen working with small children!! She is so creative in her use of toys and games to help my child feel comfortable in the water and build their experience doing things they would have felt too nervous to do otherwise. I know it must take her so much time to prepare, but the effort makes all the difference in my child's engagement and excitement over swimming!!

As a not very confident swimmer at all

As a not very confident swimmer at all, I started my lessons with Robert W and from my very first lesson, Robert made me feel very comfortable and from there I have only positive feedback as even at difficulty with certain strokes, Robert is very patient and calm and amazing at making you feel relaxed and be able to perform with no pressure. Robert is very patient, has a gentle approach, made me feel safe and turned my fear into making me laugh. Expertise is on form and very knowledgeable. Very happy I was given Robert to teach me how to swim, without Robert I think I may have given up after the first few lessons. Wonderful instructor and a genuine lovely gentleman. 😊

We really love working with Matthew!

We really love working with Matthew via SwimExpert! He's great with our 5 year old! He seems to have a lot of tactics and strategies to kids acquire new skills in the pool. He's also very patient which we've appreciated.

Excellent for under confident swimmers and young learners

The whole process has been so easy to book and manage. Hayden has been fantastic always on time and greeting with a smile. My daughter has absolutely adored swimming with him and been excited to go every week. With good mix of swimming, technique and free play. My daughter was a nervous swimmer and reluctant to go under water. The transformation we’ve seen in her confidence over the last 6 months has been amazing. She loves swimming and cannot get her out of the water. Having done group lessons with slow progress this has seen my 5 year old flourish into a swim lover.

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.

Highly efficient …brilliant locations….excellent customer service very accommodating. The instructors are professional punctual excellent at what they do. Highly recommend Christian T my girls love him he’s fun and kind but gets them to somehow do the hard work in a enjoyable way. They LOVE their swim sessions…best part is their gaining the skills and reaching milestones at a steady pace.

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)
