Chak Fung L (Sam)
Hello, my name is Sam, I am a SEQ level 2 swimming teacher. I’m thrilled to be a swimming teacher because I’m passionate about swimming and love sharing that passion with others.
My goal is to help my students feel confident and comfortable in the water, while also making swimming an enjoyable and rewarding experience. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to improve your skills, I’ll work closely with you to ensure that you not only learn this essential life skill but also have fun along the way!
I have also had the experience of teaching in different countries, gaining valuable teaching experience with adults and children. In addition to speaking English, I’m fluent in Cantonese and Mandarin, allowing me to communicate effectively with a wider range of students.
With a focus on safety and personalized instruction, I’m excited to guide you on your swimming journey!

"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."

Both our kids absolutely love coming here for their swimming lessons. They’ve grown so much in confidence in the water and are now able to swim without aids, which has been amazing to see. Ruben, Jack, Sam and Matt are fantastic instructors. They have so much patience and treat each child with care, really taking the time to understand their individual abilities while helping them develop other skills to improve. We’re really grateful for the support and encouragement they give the kids.

We have lessons with Sam. He's very patient and builds confidence, and most importantly makes it fun! The atmosphere is a lot less chaotic than other swim schools we've seen, which is great. Well organised and fun.

Booked for a crash course! Very well run and well organised. Our son, started week refusing to wear goggles or get his hair wet, which he overcame during the classes. Instructors made classes fun and interactive . Highly recommended.

Excellent team and fun lessons
We have been delighted with all the coaches who have helped our daughter learning to swim. Sam and Bron are doing an excellent job at the moment and our daughter both loves her lessons and is progressing really well. Highly recommend them both.

FAQs
Here are a list of our most frequently asked questions from our valued customers.
That’s a tough one. How long is that piece of string? During your first lessons we will discuss your current abilities and your goals and set lesson plans that are sensible. Your instructor is the best person to give you a reasonable answer to this question once you have had a lesson or two with him or her.
Yes, unlike a lot of companies, we encourage our teachers to get in the water when needed to either demonstrate, support, or otherwise assist you in the learning process.
The most cost effective way to take lessons is to book in ‘blocks’ of lesson, and that’s how most of our customers book with us. However if you are unsure and want to try us out then you can always book a single lesson. Remember that all our lessons are backed by our progression guarantee so there is no reason not to book more than one lesson!
Lessons are generally either 30 or 60 minutes in duration. Most childrens’ lessons are 30 minutes, most adults 60 minutes, but this is dependent on your goals and needs. Why not phone the office today on 0330 111 29 29 to discuss which would be best for you?
Most likely, we have dealt with many clients with special needs and several of our instructors have additional interest or qualifications in this respect. Why not phone the office today on 0330 111 29 29 to discuss your particular needs?
Yes, our lessons are suitable for people with water anxiety. Our instructors have extensive experience supporting nervous swimmers and use gentle, confidence‑building techniques to help you overcome fear, make steady progress, and begin enjoying the water at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
Unlike many swim schools, we operate all year round and are able to offer lessons also on many Bank Holidays. Simply enquire about the dates you are interested in.
Yes — in most cases you can continue lessons with the same instructor. Our instructors usually work at the same venue on the same day or across multiple days, so you can book sessions that align with their schedule. If an unexpected situation arises, such as your instructor being unwell, we will arrange another qualified instructor to teach your lesson.
Yes, you will need to bring your own towel. Towels are not provided at any of our venues (although some may charge for one if you forget to bring your towel with you)
Yes if, for example, you have two children then you can book a block of lessons and decide which child is to have which of the lessons.
Yes. All our venues allow a parent to watch their child having a lesson – some from poolside others from a viewing area. Facilities for more than one parent to view may be limited at some venues so please respect this one parent rule in this instance.
We accept most major debit or credit cards (except American Express) either via our website or by telephone payment to our office. We do not accept cash/cheques nor direct bank payments.
