Private Swimming
Lessons at Your
Elstree Pool. WD6.

Expert 1-to-1 swimming coaching at your home pool in Elstree and the wider WD6 area. Brian FitzGerald travels to you — children, adults, beginners and nervous swimmers all welcome. Prefer a venue? See our Borehamwood pool coaching. ASA & STA qualified, DBS enhanced checked, coaching Hertfordshire families since 2012.

1-to-1 Swimming Coaching
at Your Elstree Pool.

Brian coaches at private pools across Elstree and the wider WD6 area regularly. The homes around Allum Lane, Barnet Lane and the roads climbing toward Elstree Hill often have private pools — many of them beautiful, and most of them barely used. If you have a pool in Elstree, Brian comes to it. For lessons at our 25m venue pool instead, see swimming coaching in Borehamwood.

Every session is 60 minutes, entirely 1-to-1, and built around the individual swimmer. Whether your child needs to develop water confidence from scratch, you're an adult learning to swim properly for the first time, or a teenager wants to clean up their front crawl — the lesson follows the person, not a fixed programme.

60 Minutes. Your Pool.
Your Swimmer's Plan.

60 Minutes
per session

Every session at your Elstree pool is built around the swimmer in front of Brian — not a fixed syllabus, not a group curriculum. The lesson progresses at whatever pace is right, with every element chosen to build on the last visit.

Water confidence & breath control

The foundation of all swimming — entry, floating, buoyancy and controlled breathing. Brian takes exactly as long as needed here before moving forward.

Stroke technique — built correctly

Front crawl, breaststroke, backstroke — developed from the ground up with technique corrected before poor habits can embed. No shortcuts.

Progression, turns & endurance

For stronger swimmers — efficiency, flip turns, stamina and open water awareness. Brian coaches recreational families and competitive swimmers alike across WD6.

Elstree is right on my doorstep — I coach at the 25m pool in Borehamwood and travel to home pools all around WD6. The village end of Elstree, around Allum Lane and Barnet Lane, has some lovely private pools. Coaching someone at home means I can tailor the whole session to them, in water they already feel safe in.

Swimming Lessons Across WD6 & Beyond.

Aldenham Reservoir, Aldenham Country Park and the Elstree film studios sit at the edges of the area, and Brian covers pools throughout. He also coaches in neighbouring Bushey (WD23), Radlett (WD7) and Arkley (EN5). If you're in WD6 or nearby and you have a pool, the conversation is always worth having.

Great classes - our daughter made more progress in a term here than with all of my previous years of amateurish attempts to teach her.

Home Swimming Lessons Elstree FAQ

Yes — Brian covers the full WD6 district including Elstree, Borehamwood and out toward Radlett and Aldenham, as well as nearby Bushey and Arkley. Travel to your home pool is always included. If you'd prefer lessons at a venue, Brian also coaches at a 25m pool in Borehamwood — just ask.
Brian will give you a clear, tailored quote after a quick conversation — pricing varies by location and session length. Fill in the short form and he'll come back to you within a few hours.
There is no minimum size. Brian coaches regularly in compact heated indoor pools, full-length garden pools and everything in between. He adapts the entire session to the pool available — focusing on technique, confidence and stroke development rather than distance. A smaller pool is often better for technical work.
Yes. Two children from the same household can share a 60-minute session, with both receiving structured coaching throughout. Brian alternates focus while keeping both swimmers active and engaged. Simply mention siblings when you first get in touch and he'll structure the session accordingly.
Yes. Brian coaches adult beginners, nervous swimmers and adults returning to the water regularly. The private home pool is exactly the right environment — calm, quiet and completely free from the noise and public scrutiny of a leisure centre. Brian's patient, structured approach means there is never any pressure to perform or keep up with a class. Many adult clients in WD6 describe the difference as immediate.
Most swimmers see clear improvement within 3 to 4 sessions. Children attending fortnightly regularly achieve in a term what takes years in a group class. Adults typically feel significantly more confident and controlled after just two or three 60-minute sessions. Brian gives a verbal update after every lesson so you always know exactly where your swimmer stands.
