We are a swimming business that offers something a little bit more. We teach alongside Swim England's national plan for teaching swimming and also the more holistic Shaw method approach to swimming alongside open water coaching and wild swimming. I love the water and teach with enthusiasm and passion. it is so important to me that my students get a great experience in the water and we develop the foundational skills correctly.

Edward is an excellent teacher. He’s made our eldest son a strong and efficient swimmer. Our youngest would not go in the pool two months ago and now he’s jumping in and more confident than ever. Edward is patient and calm and the boys look forward to their lessons which is testament to Edward’s approach. Highly recommend Edward to anyone with kids confident or lacking confidence. He’s worked wonders with both our boys. Thank you!

Edward is an incredibly patient and understanding swimming teacher-he totally gets my fear of water and in a very gentle way, has helped me improve so much. He makes the lessons good fun too and I’m really pleased with the progress I’m making.
Edward has made a massive difference to not only my confidence in the water but also my technique. In just a couple of sessions he has taken my front crawl from non-existent to now being able to complete full lengths.
I found the way Edward broke the stroke down into stages really useful and it made it easy to improve quickly. My family have been amazed at the difference - I only wish that I had done it years ago!

Edward is such a talented teacher. He is calm, reassuring and incredibly knowledgeable. I went to him wanting to learn front crawl to train for a triathlon. He took me through the technique step by step and after only a few sessions I have learnt so much. I’m out of the slow lane and up to medium already and I have no doubt he’ll get me to the fast lane.
I was looking for a swimming refresher course and Edward was great, and super patient! He broke down each part of the front crawl stroke and gave me different breathing exercises to help bring everything together. Really happy with how I’m now swimming and have really enjoyed the lessons! Even learnt butterfly too!

Edward is a fantastic teacher. His gentle, structured approach and calm reassurance have helped me develop a wonderful skill that will last me a lifetime.
I couldn't even manage half a width before my lessons with Edward. But now I’m not thrashing about or gasping for air anymore. Instead, I have a smooth stoke with good breathing technique.
There was no pressure to commit to a certain number of lessons, so I was able to stop when I felt the time was right for me. The whole experience was brilliant!

Edward is a fabulous swim coach - extremely patient, kind and happy to go in to as much technical detail as you want/need!
After just three 60 minute sessions I was able to get the basics of a front crawl, having little to no previous swimming experience!
Booking the sessions and paying for them is easy. Edward is extremely helpful, making it a completely stress free experience so far!
I never really enjoyed swimming which was frustrating as it is undoubtedly a great form of exercise. So after retiring I decided to take some lessons with Edward and now I absolutely love swimming. My favourite exercise by far. The style Edward teaches is really smooth and ‘non-splashy’ and I get lots of compliments about how graceful and easy my swimming looks! Edward is a real confidence booster where water is concerned.

Edward been great at giving constructive feedback. My daughter’s swimming skills improved with just a few lessons with Edward.
When I first met Edward my anxiety around swimming was through the roof!! Learning a new skill as an adult is always difficult but especially when you are terrified of the very thing you are trying to learn.
Edward has been so patient with me, particularly helping me focus on breathing which helped massively with the anxiety. His skills as a teacher have helped me to develop my technique and focus. I have definitely overcome my fear of swimming, which really is a huge accomplishment and I need to thank him for that.
