Private 1-to-1 swimming lessons for Enfield clients at our heated pool in Arkley, Barnet — around 20 minutes from Enfield Town. No lanes, no public, no waiting. Just you, Brian, and the water.

A 20-Minute Drive.
A Completely Different Experience.

There is no private pool in Enfield itself. What there is, 20 minutes south along the A110 and A1000, is a warm, heated pool in Arkley, Barnet EN5 where every session is yours alone. No public lanes, no leisure-centre noise, no strangers sharing the water. Many of Brian's regular clients make that journey each week from Enfield Town, Forty Hill, Grange Park and Gordon Hill — and they keep coming back because the results are real.

Private pool — exclusively yours for 90 minutes

No other swimmers. No lanes. No public access. The pool is available for your session only — the kind of calm environment that makes a real difference if you are anxious in the water.

Fully 1-to-1 coaching from an ASA-qualified coach

Brian has taught adults and children in private lessons for over 30 years. Every session is built around what you need — not a curriculum designed for a group of ten.

Results that public lessons rarely deliver

Adults who have tried group lessons at Enfield Leisure Centre or Southbury Leisure Centre and made little progress typically find the private 1-to-1 format transformative.

If you're looking for a convenient and flexible option to learning or improving your skills in the water, then this is the right for you. It's hard to find many places in London that offer such a service so reasonably priced.

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.

Excellent teachers, well organized, very experienced. Very good communication skills. The whole experience was fun and great time. Most of my classes were with Stevin and I could never recommend him enough for everybody.
