My son has been swimming with Luke M for over 2 years, he is an excellent swimming instructor. He builds my son's confidence in the water and is highly skilled at teaching children. My son is autistic and hated putting his head under the water when he initially started 2 years ago, with Luke's encouragement and brilliant work, he's now working on level 6 and is a confident swimmer. Luke makes learning swimming fun for the kids, he brings along swimming toys for the children to play with. At the same time, he also knows exactly what the children need to do for improvement! A heartfelt thank you to Luke!

We've been having lessons for my 2 children with Luke at Novotel Brentford. Luke is excellent with the kids, is clearly very experienced, and has built up their confidence and ability in the water very well from a standing start. The pool at the hotel is also nice to swim in for the kids, particularly with beginners, as it is small, fairly warm and not daunting.

My sister and I have been taking adult lessons with Luke, who has been a great instructor. He is knowledgeable and skilled and has quickly built our confidence in the water. In a matter of weeks we have gone from having 0 swimming abilities to comfortably being able to swim a length with no aids.

Lauren is the best swim leader and swim coach. Her passion and experience has enabled my daughter to learn swimming to a very high standard. We are very happy with the service and success. I would highly recommend swim lessons with this team.

My daughter has just started 1:1 swimming lessons with Bethany S and we can't express enough how pleased we are. My daughter's confidence has grown in the water from the first lesson and we can see her becoming better and better each week. Beth is fantastic with her. She is always excited for her next swimming lesson straight after the last. Robinswood Gloucester location is a lovely quiet pool. Would definitely recommend.

Oliver is an excellent swim teacher. He is kind, patient, makes the lessons fun but provides enough challenge so that my grandchildren’s swimming abilities have improved markedly in a short period of time.

3 lessons in and my confidence in the water has really improved. Rob is very patient and encouraging. I have no doubt I'll be a confident swimmer at the end of the 10th lesson. Would recommend the 1:1 lessons anyday.

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. 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)
