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!

My 4 year-old daughter loves her swimming lessons

My 4 year-old daughter really loves her lessons and looks forward to every lessons with them. She quickly built confidence in water and progresses each time. She knows the name of every teacher as she has fun learning with them. Sadly, one of her teacher, Eloise is moving place and my girl said she's gonna miss her because she's very kind.

Melanie’s fab lessons!

I have been bringing my daughter to see Melanie for private lessons for over 3 years. She is fantastic with my daughter & equally my daughter loves her lessons too. Venue is lovely, pool clean and not overly busy.

Non Swimmer & Improver

My 6 year old granddaughter had lessons with Alexander who got her swimming with no floats within 3 lessons. As an adult I had a course of 5 lessons with Holly as wanted to crack crawl, this stroke has always defeated me. Both instructors were very competent and professional. I would recommend them to both non-swimmers and someone wanting to improve.

Fantastic with my SEN child

My daughter has ASD and ADHD so can find it hard to concentrate and stay engaged but the teachers have been great at adapting and advising when quieter sessions are available to aid her learning . She has made fantastic progress this year and gained many badges ! Very satisfied

Bristol lessons with Jan & Nikolas

My son has swimming lessons in Bristol with both Jan & Nikolas - his swimming has come on brilliantly & his confidence has grown so much. We love the way that both instructors get the best out of him, they are super helpful & build him up by focusing on the positives rather than any negative points about his swimming. My son loves coming to the lessons & is keen for more! Jan is particular is really focused on encouraging him to be the best he can be & is excellent at liaising with us as parents asking us what it is that we want from the lessons too.

Elliot has been absolutely brilliant with my twins. They have gone from not wanting to get their faces wet to jumping in, in a matter of weeks. Would highly recommend.

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.

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 efficient …brilliant locations….excellent customer service very accommodating. The instructors are professional punctual excellent at what they do. 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)
