Second swimming lesson for my son

Second swimming lesson for my son I am amazed how he’s coming on. Georgia is brilliant. Joe is really enjoying it.

Excellent instructors

I booked a series of 6 lessons to help me regain swimming ability after a prolonged absence from the water. Every lesson was a positive and helpful experience. In particular, Lisa was an excellent teacher. The pool water at the Apollo Hotel Basingstoke was clean and not too cold, even though the changing room lockers etc need an overhaul. I'd recommend SwimExpert to anyone, young or old.

Excellent lessons

My Son has swimming lessons with Donna , she is very knowledgeable and makes the lessons fun but also pushes him to improve constantly and this is shown by how much he has come on

Swim lessons

Jan was great in really refining my technique. Initially i was not able to swim more than 50 metres without being entirely out of breathe, whereas now I can do laps of 500 metres relatively consistently. This is only after a couple of weeks of lessons too, so i would highly recommend.

Omar has been a great instructor

Omar has been a great instructor for my 5 year old granddaughter. He is immensely kind, caring and manages to make every lesson fun while ensuring she makes good progress. She thinks he swims as well as her favourite pufferfish! We will miss him.

Isaac taught my daughter in her swimming lessons which she really enjoyed and built up a good rapport with him. Isaac is a great teacher - would recommend him.

Been taking my child to swimming lessons here for the past few years and has come such a long way to swimming. The current teacher Alex is excellent, gives clear instructions and most importantly encouragement to all the children in the class and will help if any don’t quite get it. Would most certainly recommend others

Alistair is a really good instructor, he is kind, patient and knowledgable. Alun our son who is 4 has come on leaps and bounds in the time that he has been swimming with him. I can’t recommend him highly enough, whilst the lessons are somewhat expensive swimming is such an important life skill, they are well worth the money. Alun’s confidence in the water is unrecognisable from when he started 14 lessons ago, and he is even able to swim short distances unaided now. Alistair makes sure that every lesson is fun as well as developing key skills.

Been going to Swim Expert for a number of months now and my boys are already doing lengths which is great. The team as a whole have been good but Luke especially has a great chemistry with the energetic boys. Thanks

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.

Hi, This is Anjali, here... I am delighted to say that Fern, my swim instructor was the most sweet, kind, gentle, patient and truly an amazing coach... I am so lucky to have found her, I commend her work and recommend swim expert to anyone who is a complete beginner, want to learn, or even brush up, I was someone who was especially reluctant but Fern made me feel so comfortable, I cannot put it into words, how much she helped me, I will recommend swim expert and Fern as coach, worth every penny!

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.

Matthew has been absolutely amazing in helping our 7 year old with his confidence. His swimming has come on incredibly, he's swimming independently and loving it. Swimming is now something he enjoys and wants to do. I couldn't recommend Matthew at SwimExpert enough!

Couldn’t be happier with Chester’s teaching. Both our children have improved so much in such a short time and they really enjoy their lessons. Chester has a great rapport with them. She’s makes it fun, while also being really clear and not giving up until they get the technique just right. Would definitely recommend.
