Why the Private Pool Makes the Difference
No Public Access
The pool is never shared with other swimmers or the public. Your session is the only session.
30°C Warm Water
Significantly warmer than public pools. Warm water reduces tension, aids relaxation and makes learning far easier.
No Audience
For nervous swimmers and beginners, the absence of observers is transformational. There is nothing to feel self-conscious about.
Controlled Environment
Predictable, quiet and calm. Particularly important for children and adults with sensory or anxiety needs.
Full Coach Attention
1:1 means your coach is watching every stroke, every breath, every movement. No group session can offer this.
Private Changing
Private parking directly outside, private changing facilities. No shared or public changing rooms.

Lessons That Actually Work
“When I started swimming classes.....”
When I started swimming classes I could just about swim but with lots of encouragement and great advice I was soon able to swim properly within a few lessons.
“A quick improvement”
I did my class at Farringdon gym. The gym itself is a little grotty, but the class was excellent. I have already improved my times in just one lesson! I'll be back for more!
“I attended a Swimming Crash Course this...”
I attended a Swimming Crash Course this week, which I really enjoyed. My teacher Eva was patient, funny, and excellent. I now need to put into practise what ive learned.
