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

Holland Park and Kensington contain some of the most expensive residential streets in the United Kingdom — Addison Road, Holland Villas Road, Ilchester Place and Kensington Palace Gardens among them. These Victorian mansion streets frequently include private pools set into large garden plots or lower-ground leisure complexes. Brian coaches at home pools across W8 and W11 regularly, covering Kensington, Holland Park and Notting Hill as part of his London route.

Every session is 60 minutes, entirely 1-to-1, and planned around the individual swimmer — not a group syllabus. Whether your child needs to develop water confidence from scratch, you're an adult learning to swim privately for the first time, or a teenager wants cleaner stroke technique, the coaching follows the person.

Children's swimming lessons, Kensington

The same coach every session, a plan that builds week on week, and 60 minutes of complete individual attention. No lane-sharing, no groups, no rotating teachers.

Adult swimming lessons at your W8 or W11 pool

Learning or improving as an adult is far easier in a private pool. No audience, no pressure, no public scrutiny — just patient, expert coaching entirely at your pace.

Nervous swimmers & SEN learners

The calm, private setting of a home pool in Holland Park or Notting Hill is a fundamentally different experience from a public leisure centre. Brian has 25+ years of experience with water-anxious adults and SEN children.

What Each Session Covers

Built Around the Swimmer —
Not a Fixed Programme.

60Minutes
per session

Every 60-minute session at your Kensington or Holland Park pool is structured from scratch around your swimmer. Brian assesses where they are in the first session and builds from there — adjusting the plan as they progress. Nothing is rushed, nothing is skipped.

Water confidence & breath control

Entry, floating, buoyancy and breathing rhythm — the foundations of all swimming. Brian takes exactly as long as needed here before introducing any stroke work.

Stroke technique — built correctly from the start

Front crawl, breaststroke and backstroke developed properly, with bad habits corrected before they embed. Something group classes almost never have time to do.

Turns, stamina & progression

For more confident swimmers — efficiency, race turns, open water awareness and endurance. Brian coaches recreational and competitive swimmers across W8, W11 and surrounding areas.

Kensington and Holland Park have some of the most beautiful home pools I coach at — Victorian mansion basements, garden pools screened by mature trees, indoor leisure complexes. The setting is always private. My job is the same wherever I am: 60 minutes of focused attention on the swimmer in front of me.

Swimming Lessons Across
W8, W11 & Beyond.

Brian coaches across the full W8 and W11 postcode area. Properties near Holland Park itself — the 54-acre park with its Kyoto Garden, Dutch Garden and Opera Holland Park open-air theatre — through to the roads around Leighton House Museum on Holland Park Road and the Design Museum on Kensington High Street are all within his regular route.

Notting Hill W11, with its period townhouses and the famous Portobello Road running through the neighbourhood, and the quieter roads of Kensington W8 backing onto the Royal Borough are both well-served. Brian also covers West Kensington W14, Earl's Court SW5 and the borders of Shepherd's Bush W12 for the right enquiry.

I regret every single penny I've spent with this company. Repetitive classes every week with no concern about your progress. They wouldn't mind if you stayed with them indefinitely even if you're not making progress.
