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

Brian coaches at private pools across Totteridge and N20 regularly. Few areas in North London have as many home pools as Totteridge — the large properties along Totteridge Lane, Totteridge Common and Grange Avenue frequently have private indoor and garden pools. If you have one, Brian comes to it.

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.

What Each Session Covers

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

60 Minutes
per session

Every session at your Totteridge 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 N20.

Totteridge has some of the most beautiful private pools I coach in. The houses along Totteridge Common and Totteridge Lane often have superb indoor pools. Being just over in Arkley, it's a short hop — and coaching a swimmer in their own pool in N20 means the whole session is built entirely around them.

Swimming Lessons Across N20 & Beyond.

Brian coaches at pools across the full N20 area — from Totteridge Village and the Green, along Totteridge Lane and Totteridge Common, across to Whetstone High Road and down toward Woodside Park. Roads around Grange Avenue, Northcliffe Drive and The Drive are all on his regular route.

Darlands Lake Nature Reserve and Totteridge Common's green belt mark the edges of the area, and Brian covers pools throughout. He also coaches in neighbouring Mill Hill (NW7), Whetstone and his home area of Arkley and Barnet (EN5). If you're in N20 or nearby and you have a pool, the conversation is always worth having.

Brian fits sessions around your schedule — early mornings, evenings and weekends all available. Not sure if your road is covered? take the 30-second quiz — he replies quickly and there's no obligation.

Common Questions

Home Swimming Lessons Totteridge FAQ

Yes — Brian covers the full N20 area including Totteridge, Totteridge Village, Whetstone and Woodside Park, as well as neighbouring Mill Hill and his home area of Arkley and Barnet. Travel to your home pool is always included in the session price. Send a quick enquiry to confirm your road.
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 N20 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.
