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.

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!

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

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.

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!

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.

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 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.

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.

Lessons with Jan M have completely transformed my 9 yr old’s feelings about swimming. He dreaded school swimming lessons for days in advance and made no progress at them. He agreed to a single trial lesson with SwimExpert only but immediately liked and trusted Jan M and was happy to do more. His progress has been incredible and he now considers swimming lessons to be “fun”. He could not swim at all when he started. He has now done a total of 15 lessons with Jan and can do the full length of the hotel pool using front crawl or back stroke. The lessons are expensive but Jan’s individual approach and being in the pool to demonstrate and support mean that my son has made more progress in months than I would expect in years with group lessons with the teacher instructing from outside the water.

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.
