1-to-1 Swimming Coaching
at Your Barnet Pool.
We are based in Arkley EN5 — which means the Barnet area is home territory. Our coaches work regularly at private pools across Hadley Wood, Totteridge, Monken Hadley, Chipping Barnet and the surrounding roads. Properties along Camlet Way, Totteridge Lane, Barnet Road and the roads backing onto Monken Hadley Common and the Enfield Chase Green Belt are all within our regular route.
Every session is 60 minutes, entirely 1-to-1, and structured around the swimmer in front of them — not a fixed programme. Whether that's a child who needs to build water confidence from the beginning, an adult swimming properly for the first time, or a more experienced swimmer looking to clean up their stroke, the coaching follows the individual.
The same coach every session, a plan that builds consistently, and 60 minutes of undivided attention. No rotating teachers, no group noise — just swimming progress that's visible from session to session.
Learning or improving as an adult is easier in a private pool. No lanes to share, no audience, no keeping up with anyone else — just patient, expert coaching at your pace.
A small private pool is a fundamentally different environment from a public leisure centre. Our coaches are experienced with water-anxious adults and SEN children — the setting makes a real difference.
Built Around the Swimmer —
Not a Class Timetable.
per session
Every 60-minute session at your Barnet pool is structured from scratch around your swimmer. Your coach assesses where they are at the start of the first lesson and builds from there — adjusting the plan session by session as they progress. Nothing is rushed, nothing is skipped.
Water confidence & breath control
Entry, floating, buoyancy and breathing rhythm — the foundations that everything else depends on. Your coach takes whatever time is needed before moving on.
Stroke technique — front crawl, breaststroke & backstroke
Each stroke developed correctly from the beginning. Bad habits corrected before they embed — something a group class simply doesn't have the time to do.
Turns, stamina & further progression
For stronger swimmers — efficiency, race turns, open water awareness and endurance. Our coaches teach recreational and competitive swimmers across Barnet and beyond.
We're based in Arkley, so Barnet and the surrounding area is somewhere we know well. When our coaches arrive at a pool off Totteridge Lane or near Hadley Wood, they're not travelling to unfamiliar territory — these are roads and families we've been working with for years. That consistency matters just as much as the coaching itself.
Brian FitzGerald, founder — Swimming Class UK, Arkley EN5Genuinely Local to the Barnet Area.
Our Arkley base puts us at the centre of the area this page covers. Hadley Wood — with its large gated houses along Camlet Way and Beech Hill, and Hadley Wood Golf Club occupying the old Beech Hill Park Mansion site — is minutes away. Monken Hadley, framed by the ancient common that forms the only remaining section of the old Enfield Chase royal hunting forest, is a short drive north. The 15th-century St Mary the Virgin church in Monken Hadley and St Peter's Church in Arkley are both neighbourhood landmarks familiar to families we have coached for years.
Totteridge — one of the most sought-after streets in North London, with long Totteridge Lane running through Green Belt countryside from Whetstone to Barnet — has a high concentration of private pools set into large garden plots. Our coaches cover this area regularly. Chipping Barnet High Street, the Northern line terminus at High Barnet, East Barnet and the Cockfosters end of the Piccadilly line all sit within our regular service zone.
All enquiries are welcome — if you're unsure whether your road or postcode is covered, take the 30-second quiz. We’ll confirm by email.

Families We've Coached Across Barnet
For the love of the water I wanted to be able to move in it. Stephen one of the trusted instructors gave me the drive to learn the basic never looked back since.
Excellent teachers, well organized, very experienced. Very good communication skills. The whole experience was fun and great time. Most of my classes were with Stevin and I could never recommend him enough for everybody.
Brian is an excellent teacher who is really calm and helps you build up your confidence with every stroke. My swimming has really improved and my confidence is increasing lesson upon lesson. Highly recommended.
