Expert 1-to-1 swimming coaching at your home pool in Mayfair, Marylebone, Regent's Park and St John's Wood. A qualified SwimFitz coach travels to W1, NW1 and NW8 — children, adults and nervous swimmers welcome. ASA & STA qualified, DBS enhanced checked.
The private pool density in this part of London is higher than most people expect. Properties overlooking Regent's Park on the Inner Circle and the Nash terraces, townhouses on Wimpole Street and Harley Street in Marylebone, residences on the fringes of Grosvenor Square in Mayfair, and the established family houses of St John's Wood NW8 frequently include private pools and leisure spaces — often below ground or in converted rear extensions.
Our coaches travel to W1, NW1 and NW8 regularly. Every session is 60 minutes, fully 1-to-1, and built around the swimmer in front of them. The lesson plan is written for that person, not for a group. All enquiries are welcome — if you have a pool, a coach will come to it.
Consistent coaching with the same expert every session, a plan that progresses week on week, and 60 minutes of complete individual attention. No groups, no waiting, no compromise.
Learning to swim or improving technique is far more effective in a private pool. Our coaches teach adult beginners and nervous swimmers across central London every week.
The private home pool environment is calmer, quieter and more controlled than any leisure centre. For swimmers with anxiety or additional needs, this difference is fundamental.

Every 60-minute session is built fresh around the swimmer. Your coach assesses in the first lesson and builds progressively from there — adjusting focus session by session. Whether the swimmer is a nervous adult near Marylebone High Street or a child in a St John's Wood basement pool, the approach is always the same: follow the individual.
The fundamentals of all swimming — entry, floating, buoyancy and breathing rhythm. Your coach takes exactly as long as needed before any stroke work begins.
Front crawl, breaststroke and backstroke developed from the right foundations. Technique corrected before bad habits form — something group classes rarely have time for.
For stronger swimmers — race turns, endurance, open water awareness and efficiency. Our coaches teach recreational swimmers and competitive athletes across central and north-west London.
Coaching in central London is always interesting — basement pools in Mayfair, rooftop pools in Marylebone, compact lap pools in St John's Wood. The pool size or shape never matters. What matters is the 60 minutes and the swimmer in front of us.
Brian FitzGerald, founder — Swimming Class UKOur coaches cover the full W1 corridor from Mayfair — with Grosvenor Square, Berkeley Square and the streets running south from Oxford Street — through Marylebone, with its elegant Georgian grid of streets running up from Oxford Street to Marylebone Road and north to the outer ring of Regent's Park. The park itself, designed by John Nash and covering 410 acres of Inner London, is bordered by some of London's most prestigious residential addresses: the Nash Terraces, St John's Lodge and The Holme on the Inner Circle.
St John's Wood NW8 — with its distinctive white stucco villas, tree-lined roads and the famous Abbey Road Studios — is one of the most established private pool postcodes in London. Our coaches cover NW8 and neighbouring Maida Vale W9 and Little Venice W2 as part of the same route.

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.
