Sean M
Hello, I’m Sean and I want you to get as much out of swimming as I do.
I believe every individual has their own unique way of learning and I adapt my teaching style to suit children of various ages and abilities, including those with physical disabilities and SEN. I spend half my time teaching swimming and the other half working as a teaching assistant in a primary school.
I have quite a mixed career background, originally working as a registered nurse for the NHS, I moved into leisure as a lifeguard and eventually duty manager. Now working in education as a swimming teacher and primary school teaching assistant.
I look forward to meeting you and helping you to achieve your goals.

Customer Review
Sean has been fantastic
Sean has been fantastic, and instrumental in Noah’s swimming development over the past couple of months. We have seen his confidence grow immensely and it has been all down to Sean’s expertise and calm demeanour. We have just signed up for another block, and can’t wait to watch Noah’s progress and to see him flourish under Sean’s guidance.

Customer Review
Great swimming instructor
My son has ADHD and ASD and found group lessons very challenging so we moved to 1-1 lessons. My son had been swimming with Sean for over a year now and has made so much progress. Sean is incredibly calm and patient with him and a fantastic swimming instructor. I highly recommend him.
Customer Review
A very positive experience.
I have been very impressed with all my dealings with SwimExpert. My initial telephone enquiry was handled professionally and in a friendly and helpful manner. The portal is easy to navigate and use. I really appreciated the weekly teacher reports. My teacher, Sean was excellent. Very Kind, caring and encouraging. He listened to my questions and thoughts and tailored my lessons to my needs. I have achieved the goals I set for myself, and would consider returning to SwimExpert in the future if I need more help and guidance.

Very professional, always on time. My girls coach is very good to adapting himself to my children’s needs due to their learning difficulties.

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.
