Around 1 in 3 adults in England can't swim 25 metres, so if you never learned as a child — or had a scary experience — you're in good company. Our lessons are completely private and one-to-one: we start where you're comfortable, in the shallow end, and your instructor gets into the water with you.

“Nikolay has been fantastic in building my water confidence.”
“Started from a total non-swimmer and in a matter of 6 weeks with the excellent one-to-one training from Nikolay I've become water competent.”
Not with us. Lessons are completely private 1-1 — no class, no audience. Around 1 in 3 adults in England can't swim, so you're far from alone.
That's exactly who these lessons are for. We start in the shallow end at your pace, and your instructor is in the water with you the whole time.
No. We teach adults of any age — many of our adult swimmers started as complete beginners.
It varies. Many adults build foundational confidence and technique in around five weekly lessons; your Taster Lesson's assessment gives you a tailored estimate.
