Our Swimming Programs
Our swimming programme is designed to support swimmers at every stage of their development.
It begins with building confidence in the water and progresses to learning the foundations of all four strokes: front crawl, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly. As swimmers improve, lessons focus on refining technique and developing efficiency across all strokes.
For more advanced swimmers, sessions also include key racing skills such as starts, turns, underwater work, speed and endurance, helping them perform more effectively in training and competition.
Lessons options
​
One to one lessons​
One-to-one private lessons are tailored to the individual and can last 30, 45 or 60 minutes.
Each session typically includes a short warm-up, focused technical work through specific drills, and a final part dedicated to stamina and speed, creating a structured and effective session.

Two to one lessons​
Two-to-one lessons allow two swimmers to train together in a shared session.
This format can be both motivating and enjoyable, as swimmers can support and challenge each other while still receiving personalised coaching.
​
Competitive swimmers​
Sessions focus on refining technique, correcting inefficient habits and improving overall performance.
We help swimmers prepare for club assessments and school swimming squads. If you are already part of a squad, we help you improve your performance.
