What you get

What is included in every lesson

  • 1-1 attention - you swim the entire 30-minute lesson
  • An assessment in your Taster, with a tailored plan and milestones
  • Your instructor in the water with nervous beginners
  • Heated, exclusive-use pool, free parking - no public sessions, the pool is yours
  • All four strokes, water confidence and coordination - beginner to club-ready
  • No direct debit - pay per Taster or plan
  • Qualified, DBS-checked instructor

Value, not just price

Why private 1-1 is better value than a cheaper group class

In a group class, you'll spend under half the lesson actually swimming - the rest is waiting your turn. Here, the whole thirty minutes is yours: one lane, one swimmer, one instructor in the water with you.
