My son (4/5) always enjoys his 1-2-1 lessons and has gone from not being able to let go of an adult to going under water unaided. Very good progress!

After two years of lessons at our local pool and having to fight to get the kids there each week, these lessons have been a breath of fresh air and I honestly wish I’d made the switch so much earlier. Rob is a great instructor who makes the lessons fun and has so much patience with my son who has special needs. I now have confidence that my children will be safe in the water when we’re on holiday in a few months time and we’ve just booked our next set of lessons. Thank you.

Elliot has been absolutely brilliant with my twins. They have gone from not wanting to get their faces wet to jumping in, in a matter of weeks. Would highly recommend.

Jerym is the best swimming instructor there is, hands down. The kids are so comfortable with him, you actually see them learn week on week. My daughter stays motivated for swimming and looks forward to that weekly class. We go to Wakefield Estate where Swim Expert classes take place, and we're glad to have Jerym who is ever so patient and brilliant with his students.

My 2 sons (3,5 years old) have been having lessons with Falah for over a year now... they love every single session and have come such a long way. We couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. He has instilled confidence in the boys allowing them to progress further each time. Thank you for teaching the boys to swim so well.

After a long time at the local council pool and lessons we found that our daughter had not progressed, so tried Swim expert and the one to one training has meant that she has progressed leaps and bounds in no time at all. Also the fact that they will teach to your own goals means we are not wasting time on things she is unlikely to use and instead build confidence and strength on what she can do.

Lovely quiet, clean pool and one to one lesson with Chris was great. The children had fun and learnt a lot.

Where do I start? Issac is an absolutely fantastic teacher. I couldn’t recommend him enough! My little boy has additional needs and Issac worked closely with us to establish what would work best for him and how he learnt best. Issac made the lessons fun and within 2 lessons had him swimming in the deep end and jumping in with so much confidence! 100% recommend and he’s a great asset to the swimming world ☺️

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 efficient …brilliant locations….excellent customer service very accommodating. The instructors are professional punctual excellent at what they do. 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)
