Private Swimming Lessons
Private lessons are for adults and children learning to swim, improving confidence in the water, or working through aquaphobia. Sessions take place in our exclusively private 30°C heated pool in Arkley, Barnet.
There is no public access, no other swimmers and no audience. The warm, calm, private environment is the single biggest reason clients succeed here after failing elsewhere.
- Adult complete beginners — never swum before
- Nervous adults and aquaphobia specialists
- Children from 3 years old
- SEN and additional needs
- Intermediate adults improving technique
- One-week crash courses (Mon–Fri)
Why the Private Pool Makes the Difference
No Public Access
The pool is never shared with other swimmers or the public. Your session is the only session.
30°C Warm Water
Significantly warmer than public pools. Warm water reduces tension, aids relaxation and makes learning far easier.
No Audience
For nervous swimmers and beginners, the absence of observers is transformational. There is nothing to feel self-conscious about.
Controlled Environment
Predictable, quiet and calm. Particularly important for children and adults with sensory or anxiety needs.
Full Coach Attention
1:1 means your coach is watching every stroke, every breath, every movement. No group session can offer this.
Private Changing
Private parking directly outside, private changing facilities. No shared or public changing rooms.

Lessons That Actually Work
“From afraid of water to confident swimmer”
I now swim independently in the sea. Brian and his team took me back to basics after years of failed leisure centre lessons.
“At 58 I learned to swim — still in shock”
The private setting was essential for me. No audience, no pressure, warm water. Five sessions.
“Eva was patient, funny and excellent”
The crash course this week was wonderful. My teacher Eva was patient, funny and excellent throughout.
