FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

No. Most of my students are adults in their 30s–60s learning for the first time. Age changes nothing about the method — it's the same water.

Yes. Just you and me, every lesson, whole lesson.
Your roadmap from the taster tells you precisely — and at our Edgbaston pool it's backed by the guarantee: swim your first width in 5 lessons, or lesson 6 is free.
Swimwear, a towel, and goggles if you have them. That's it — I bring everything else.
