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.

Ask for Luke!
I have been with SwimExpert for 2 years and it has made the biggest difference to my daughter’s confidence in the water. Luke has been her teacher from the beginning and has been able to coach her from just getting into the water to a proficient swimmer. I would highly recommend Luke, especially if your little one struggles with the water!

4 year olds first lesson
I took my 4 year old for his first swimming lesson. This was 1-2-1 lesson at the Great Danes Hotel with SwimExpert's swim teacher Harvey. Before this lesson my son was very nervous of water, barely going deeper than his knee. Harvey in stages got my son relaxed with the water then into the pool then with reduced contact kicking his legs and up to his neck. Harvey had constant dialog with my son (who normally is very shy with new adults) and plenty of high fives. I was amazed with how relaxed my son was. He was sad lesson finished but really looking forward to the next one. This is 100% down to Harvey and the way he adapted his teaching. Excellent! I am so relieved and proud.

1:1 lessons with Luke
I’m so impressed with my son’s progress in a course of just 5 lessons! Luke is an excellent instructor. He’s very professional, friendly and patient. He explains everything so easily and makes the lessons so much fun. My son loves the lessons and wait eagerly for the next ones. He’s now a strong swimmer with lots of confidence in the water. Thank you Luke! As a parent, would definitely recommend Luke and SwimExpert.

Swimming fear is gone
All the instructors my daughter had lessons with are very professional and qualified. My daughter really enjoys her lessons and progressed a lot with swimexpert 1-2-1 lessons, after trying different swimming schools for group lessons.

My kids’ first time to try swimming lesson
My kids’ first time to try swimming lesson. They’re both scared of being on the water/pool but their instructor made them comfortable. I’m worried they might not even try getting on the pool but to my surprise they enjoyed it and wants to do it again! Thanks to the lovely and friendly instructor

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.

I CAN do it
After only 4 lessons 2 with Evie and 2 with Roan, I swam the equivalent of a width on my back with no float or help today. Both are really patient teachers and I hope to go from strength to strength. Not bad for a 63 year old who couldn't even float.
