Overcoming Fear with 1:1 Lessons for Nervous Adult Swimmers

If you’re anxious about swimming or taking lessons, Peter’s story is a testament to what’s possible with private adult swim instruction:

At last, in my mid 40’s I decided to find time to learn how to swim. I could not be more happier with my choice of the school. Absolutely brilliant swimming school for all ages and abilities. Thanks to James, only after few 1-2-1 lessons I could see the progress and started to enjoy swimming. Despite his young age James is a born teacher. I’m loving every minute of the learning experience.

~ Peter Chopyk (January 2020)

Peter, a fit and active man in his 40s, came to us as a complete beginner with a fear of the deep end stemming from a traumatic childhood school swimming experience. Despite a teacher’s misguided attempt to build “confidence” by forcing him into the deep end, Peter avoided swimming for decades. After three terms of personalized 1:1 swimming lessons, Peter achieved his goal.

I’m a confident adult swimmer who wanted to improve my stroke efficiency. Marjan has been superb at spotting exactly what needs to be done in order to improve. She’s a pleasure to be with and really knows her stuff. It’s clear that she’s not delivering just a one size fits all programme but really making the effort to respond individually. After only two lessons, i can already see improvement. Highly recommended. ~ Chris
