dustykelly Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Hi, has anyone had a good experience? I'd love a recommendation for an instructor that could help my son make the leap in confidence he needs to swim independently (he's almost 6). It would also be great if they had access to a warm pool!.

bonaome Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Take him down to Beckenham Spa. He can join a class and then arrange some one on ones. The teaching pool is very warm and has a moveable floor, so they make it very shallow for the little ones and they're really good at building confidence.

damzel Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 The Bridge at Sydenham do one to one and the teachers are really good and caring, however there is a long waiting list. We managed to get some one to ones during a half term once and I think you can book a block of sessions through school holidays as they are less busy.

Mellors Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I use a private teacher at Forest Hill pools. She is excellent and has really made my two come on leaps and bounds in the last few weeks. PM me if you'd like her number.Mel Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/49923-one-to-one-swimmimg-lessons/#findComment-787788 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbonara Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 We also used swimmming teachers at the JAGS pool - my oldest child swam independently on the very first lesson, having been messing about with us trying to teach him for about 2 years, and with him not liking his head in the water etc.They had a leaflet of all the instructors, giving the ages and standards they teach. Asdk via the JAGS sports centre.Really good tuition.
