We have used swimexperts (Elliot) for our 5 year old as he didn’t have any confidence in the water & wasn’t progressing at all in group lessons. Within 8 lessons he was like a different child, confident to swim with his head underwater & without a float. He loves swimming now. We are amazed how much Elliot has managed to achieve in such a short space of time. Amazing value for money, we would recommend to anyone.

My son's been swimming with Ashley for the last 6 weeks. He has come on so much in his technique and confidence. Ashley has been fantastic in encouraging him to overcome his nerves from being in the water and always makes the lessons engaging and fun. Thank you Ashley!

Isaac is a very good swimming instructor. Makes sure that he teaches proper technique and has improved our son brilliantly in a short period of time. Can highly recommend him.

After two years of lessons at our local pool and having to fight to get the kids there each week, these lessons have been a breath of fresh air and I honestly wish I’d made the switch so much earlier. Rob is a great instructor who makes the lessons fun and has so much patience with my son who has special needs. I now have confidence that my children will be safe in the water when we’re on holiday in a few months time and we’ve just booked our next set of lessons. Thank you.

Excellent instructors. Most of my lessons were with Lisa and I'd certainly recommend her; also Reuben and Sam.

After a long time at the local council pool and lessons we found that our daughter had not progressed, so tried Swim expert and the one to one training has meant that she has progressed leaps and bounds in no time at all. Also the fact that they will teach to your own goals means we are not wasting time on things she is unlikely to use and instead build confidence and strength on what she can do.

My twins really love their lessons with Luke. My daughter has made great progress and my son's confidence has improved so much. They can't wait for their swimming lesson each week.

Lovely quiet, clean pool and one to one lesson with Chris was great. The children had fun and learnt a lot.

Great lessons, both my sons progressed much quicker than with other swim schools. Having a proper deep end was an advantage too.

SwimExpert lessons with Luke

My daughters have been taking swimming lessons with Luke at SwimExpert, and I have to say, they have had a great experience. Luke is knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging, which helped them feel comfortable in the water and make progress with their swimming skills. They appreciate the two-on-one attention and feedback from the Luke. The facilities are top-notch, with clean and a well-maintained pool and changing rooms. Overall, my daughters feel much more confident in their ability to swim after taking these lessons, and I would highly recommend Luke at SwimExpert to anyone looking to improve their swimming skills. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced swimmer, I think you'll find the instruction and facilities here to be top-notch.

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 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.

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)
