Private Lessons
at Your Pool.
Hampstead NW3.

Expert 1-to-1 swimming coaching at your home pool in Hampstead, Belsize Park and surrounding NW3. Brian FitzGerald comes to you — children, adults, beginners and nervous swimmers all welcome. ASA & STA qualified, DBS enhanced checked, 25+ years' experience.

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

Hampstead is one of London's most established areas for private home swimming — large houses backing onto Hampstead Heath, period properties near the Vale of Health ponds, and modern builds around Belsize Park and Primrose Hill frequently come with private pools that don't get used to anything close to their potential. Brian travels to NW3 specifically to change that, bringing structured 1-to-1 swimming coaching directly to your door.

Children's swimming lessons at your pool

The same coach every session, a plan that builds week on week, and 60 minutes of undivided attention. No rotating teachers, no crowded lanes — just swimming progress that you can actually see.

Adult swimming lessons, NW3

Learning to swim or improving technique as an adult is far easier in a private pool than a public one. No audience, no pressure, no keeping up with a class — just you and Brian working through it properly.

Nervous swimmers welcome

The private home pool environment removes the anxiety that public leisure centres create. Brian has worked with nervous adult swimmers and water-anxious children for over 25 years.

Built Around Your Swimmer,
Not a Fixed Syllabus

60 Minutes
per session

Every session is planned around where your swimmer is now and what they need next. Whether that's building basic water confidence, developing stroke technique, or working towards a specific goal — the lesson follows the person, not a class timetable.

Water confidence & breathing

The foundation of everything — entry, floating, breath control and buoyancy. Brian takes as long as needed before moving on.

Stroke development & technique

Front crawl, breaststroke and backstroke — built correctly from the start, with habits corrected before they embed.

Turns, stamina & progression

For more confident swimmers — efficiency, turns, endurance and open water awareness. Brian coaches recreational and competitive swimmers alike.

When I coach at someone's home pool in Hampstead, I'm working with the swimmer in front of me — not a curriculum. The 60 minutes belongs entirely to them. That's the whole point of coming to you rather than asking you to fit into a group.

Brian FitzGerald — Swimming Class UK

Serving Hampstead, Belsize Park & Surrounding NW3

Brian coaches at home pools across Hampstead and NW3 regularly. The area runs from the grand houses above Whitestone Pond and East Heath Road — within walking distance of Hampstead Heath's swimming ponds — through to Belsize Park, Primrose Hill and Swiss Cottage. Properties near Parliament Hill, Keats Grove and the Vale of Health are all within his regular route.

Whether your pool is a heated indoor pool behind a garden in Belsize Village, a compact lap pool in a Swiss Cottage townhouse, or a full garden setup near Burgh House on New End Square — Brian works with whatever you have. Pool size is not a barrier. All travel from his Arkley base to your NW3 address is included in the session price.

My 6 year old son had a history of being pretty scared of being in the water and had got better over the last 6 months.

Home Swimming in Hampstead FAQ

Yes — Brian travels throughout NW3 including Hampstead, Belsize Park, Primrose Hill, Swiss Cottage and surrounding postcodes. Travel to your home pool is included in the session price. If you're on the edge of the area, send a quick enquiry — Brian will reply quickly.
Absolutely. Many home pools in Hampstead and Belsize Park are compact indoor pools, and they're perfectly suited to coaching. Brian adapts every session to the space available — focusing on technique, water confidence and stroke development. A smaller pool can actually be better for technique work than a long lane pool.
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. Just mention this when you get in touch and he'll plan accordingly.
Yes. Brian regularly coaches adult beginners, nervous swimmers and adults returning to the water after a long break. The private home pool environment removes the anxiety of a public leisure centre, and Brian's calm, structured approach means there is never any pressure to perform. Many adult clients in NW3 describe their first session as transformative.
Most swimmers see noticeable improvement within 3 to 4 sessions. Children who attend fortnightly often achieve in a few months what can take years in a group class. Brian gives a verbal progress update after every session so you always know exactly where your swimmer is and what comes next.
Brian recommends a minimum of around 26°C for comfortable and productive coaching. If your pool runs cooler, sessions can still work well — just mention it when you get in touch and Brian will advise on the best approach for your setup.
