The beauty of private lessons with Art of Swimming is that you can learn whatever you would like to learn. Whether you would like to build confidence, learn to swim, or prepare for a competition/open water event we can help you. We can help you improve your swimming, and teach you new strokes – front crawl, breaststroke, backstroke and butterfly are all covered here. We offer private lessons for all ages from babies upwards.
The first lesson usually starts with a Shaw Method SwimCheck™ in which we discuss your medical and swimming history, analyse your body alignment and relationship with the water, and assess the efficiency of your existing stroke, if appropriate.
Remember that Shaw Method teachers teach in the water so they are on hand to support you, and offer demonstrations of the practices they would like you to do.
Shared lessons
If you would like to learn with a friend, we also offer shared lessons as long as both of you are of a similar ability and would like to work on the same practices. Please note that the cost of sharing a lesson will not be half the cost of a one-to-one session. We offer shared lessons at all our venues.
In the South East we offer private lessons at:
- Nuffield Bromley with Imelda Lowney
- Nuffield Crawley with Helen Stevens
