Swim Assessments
Swim Checks and Swim Reviews — two simple ways to move your swimming forward
Whether you’re brand new to the Shaw Method or you’ve already taken lessons and want a fresh pair of expert eyes, our Swim Assessments offer a clear, supportive next step. Choose a Swim Check for an introduction and personalised direction, or a Swim Review for focused feedback with video analysis to help you refine what you’re already building — towards greater ease, efficiency, and enjoyment in the water.
Swim Checks
The Swim Check is the perfect place to start — whether you’re new to the pool or looking to refine your stroke. In a relaxed 30-minute one-to-one session, a Shaw Method teacher will assess your technique, discuss your goals, and offer personalised feedback you can apply straight away.

Swim Reviews
We’re delighted to introduce Swim Review Sessions at the Art of Swimming Academy. Designed for swimmers who have already taken lessons and want a fresh pair of expert eyes, the Swim Review is a 30-minute one-to-one swimming assessment with video analysis, delivered by a trained Shaw Method teacher.
This session is ideal if you…
-
Want to check how your stroke is developing
-
Feel something has shifted but aren’t sure what to focus on next
-
Would like clear, personalised guidance without committing to a full lesson block
During the session
Your swimming is filmed and reviewed with you, highlighting what’s working well and where small, targeted changes could make the biggest difference. You’ll leave with clear priorities, practical focus points, and a better understanding of your own swimming.
