Private 1-2-1 Children’s Swimming Lessons

Focused 1-to-1 Tuition Designed for Rapid Progress and Lasting Confidence.

Private 1-to-1 children’s swimming lessons delivered in calm, carefully selected pools where confidence, technique and water safety are developed through structured, goal-led coaching.

Private Swimming Lessons for Children

Our private children’s lessons provide focused 1-to-1 coaching tailored to your child’s individual needs and goals. These sessions are designed to complement our weekly small group programme, or to provide targeted support when a child would benefit from more concentrated coaching.

Parents often use private sessions to focus on a specific skill or stroke, accelerate progress between stages, or prepare for holidays and school swimming. Because the lesson is entirely dedicated to one swimmer, we can quickly identify areas for improvement and implement precise technical adjustments.

We carefully select warm, high quality pools that allow children to focus fully on their learning. In some venues we are also able to offer complete private use of the pool during the lesson, creating an exceptionally calm and controlled environment for focused development.

Sessions can be booked individually whenever needed, giving parents complete flexibility without committing to a weekly schedule.

Sessions are available in 30, 45 or 60 minute formats to suit your time and objectives, starting at £55 per session.

Build Confidence in the Water

If your child feels nervous or needs extra reassurance in the water, a private lesson allows our coaches to progress at exactly the right pace.

The calm environment and undivided attention from the coach often help children relax quickly, building genuine water confidence in a supportive and structured setting.

Target a Specific Goal or Stroke

Private sessions are ideal for focusing on a particular technical element such as breathing, front crawl development, backstroke confidence or diving.

Our carefully selected teachers deliver structured, purposeful lessons aligned to clear progression goals. Small technical adjustments often lead to rapid improvement, helping children progress faster while remaining engaged and motivated.

Coaches adapt their approach to suit individual learning styles, ensuring every swimmer progresses within a focused, supportive framework.

A Flexible Option for Busy Families

Some parents prefer the flexibility of booking lessons as needed rather than committing to a weekly programme.

Private sessions allow you to schedule focused coaching around your family’s timetable, whether that means preparing for a holiday, supporting school swimming, or giving your child a short burst of accelerated progress.

A Calm Environment for Focused Learning

We teach in carefully selected private pools with warm water, controlled occupancy and well maintained facilities. These environments are designed to remove distraction and allow swimmers to concentrate fully on the lesson.

This calm, structured setting supports faster learning and consistent progress, creating a premium experience for both children and parents.

For swimmers who benefit from an especially quiet environment, including some children with SEN, we can often arrange sessions where the pool is used exclusively for the lesson, allowing the swimmer to learn with complete focus.
