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

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.

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.

My son absolutely loves his swimming lessons at Reddam house. It's so lovely to see his confidence grow and the progression he is making. He thoroughly enjoyed his lesson with his new swim teacher Mo and gives her a 10/10.

Excellent instructors. Most of my lessons were with Lisa and I'd certainly recommend her; also Reuben and Sam.

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 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.

Fantastic coach!

Have a great relationship with our coach, Luke. My kids have been going for 2-to-1 classes for about 6 months and I can see great improvement. Luke is absolutely fantastic. Kids love going. Coach is kind and great on teaching my kids to deal with water, learning in fun way. Really fantastic. The customer service is also helpful and the rebooking classes comes in handy. The location is beautiful but staff on the hotel makes you feel unwelcomed and as if they are doing a favour and never happy as if we are a bother to guests. SwimExpert could use of a more friendly environment to match to such great staff.

I've never been a confident swimmer

I've never been a confident swimmer but Lily has been brilliant at helping me to discover the joy of being able to swim. Lily has been a patient and able teacher and has enabled my amazing progression over the last few lessons to a point where I feel much more capable in the water.

Really kind and patient teacher

Our little girl has been swimming now for about a year. Her teacher Lisa B has been amazing threw out her journey. Our little lady has Autism, developmental delay and SEN. Lisa every week is so kind and patient with her with a great mixture of swimming and playing. Last week for the first time my little lady swam just a couple of strokes all by herself. This is a massive achievement for my little lady. Lisa has worked so hard with her gaining her confidence and encouraging her to stay focused giving her clear simple instructions.

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 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)
