Luke M
My name is Luke, and I’m a Level 2 Swim England swimming teacher. I’ve been teaching swimming continuously since 1998.
I’ve loved being in the water from a young age — it energises me, rejuvenates me, and always makes me feel great. Over the years, I’ve helped many non-swimmers achieve quick results, often learning to swim within just a few lessons.
I bring joy and fun to every session; I love to play, be “silly,” and create a positive, relaxed environment. After all, what child doesn’t enjoy a playful adult in the pool?
Whether you’re an adult wanting to learn to swim or looking for lessons for your children, I’m confident in creating lessons that are enjoyable, effective, and suited to all ages and abilities.

Luke from SwimExpert!
We’ve signed up with Luke from SwimExpert and he’s worked nothing less than a miracle with my 7yo son in his first 15 sessions. From not wanting to put his head in the water let alone go in over waist deep, Luke has taken a guided approach to building his confidence and allowing him to make incremental improvements to a point where he’s on the cusp of being swimming disc free. Still work to do, but there’s now a clear path to him being able to swim..

Top-Quality Swim Instructors!
SwimExpert leases high-quality pool space from local hotels, providing communities w/ addt’l options for all ages/stages of swim lessons. We’ve found their admin staff to be professional & helpful. But more than anything, Luke M. — our child's instructor since Apr-2023 — consistently challenges and encourages our son twd greater skill in the water. We’re very pleased with our son’s safety, confidence, and progress in the water.

Luke is a great instructor. We started lessons to regain confidence and from the first session we felt relaxed and supported. Luke tailors the sessions to ensure progression from week to week.

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!

Brilliant swimming instructor at Brentford branch
Luke at the Brentford branch is second to none when it comes to teaching children to swim. He makes the lessons fun and engaging for my 7 years old boy. We have been having regular lessons with Luke since October 2023, and my son has made great progress. Initially, my son was very reluctant to submerge his face under the water and didn't want to go swimming. With Luke's help, he can now swim 5 to 10 meters and his confidence in water has grown tremendously. We can't thank Luke enough, he has always been patient, kind and encouraging towards my child. Luke knows exactly what my boy needs to progress and gives out very useful tips. The lessons are pricey, however it is worth it. The customer service team are also wonderful, always there to help if/when I need to reschedule our lessons. Thank you everyone!

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.
