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.

Great swim instructor
Amazing swim instructor. Bence really supported my daughter with her swimming technique & she has really enjoyed his lessons. He always ends on a fun activity & adapts as appropriate throughout the lesson. Thank you Bence!

Excellent tuition from Ciaran in Wokingham
Excellent tuition from Ciaran in Wokingham. My 14 year old daughter is an experienced swimmer but had 10 lessons to improve her technique as she's keen to start triathlons. Great improvement in her front crawl and breast stroke and learnt to do flip turns also.

Great teacher
My daughter has grown in confidence from sitting on the edge of the pool to swimming independently with a float in just over 2 months thanks to Shay. Great teacher in a nice calm environment.

Thank you
Mia at Brentford has a fantastic manner with my young kids and very quickly helped my daughter begin to overcome her fear of being in the pool. For weeks, my daughter had been reluctant to get in the water, whereas now she’s really looking forward to her lessons! We also had some issues with our bookings, but Karen was really helpful in resolving everything. The Brentford pool is also a lovely venue and a good place to have lessons.

Enthusiastic teacher that works really hard
Enthusiastic teacher that works really hard teaching my son swimming and making it fun at the same time. In SwimExpert, my son can learn techniques as diving etc that would not be possible in the group lesson at the local leisure centre until a much later stage. It's really helped my son build his confidence.

Lovely supportive instructor
I was terrified of going into the pool. Elizabeth on my first day made me feel so comfortable and gave me the confidence and I was able to keep coming back.

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.

Jan is a fantastic teacher and my son has made brilliant progress, going from a not very confident swimmer to being really confident swimming the three main strokes. He loves the lessons and Jan gives really positive encouragement but is clear on how to improve and gives useful tips and tuition all through the lessons. Jan is always reliable and polite and get feedback on how the lessons have gone. Swim expert as a company are easy to deal with too and book on their website to keep a track of lessons.
