Swim For Life Reviews 

I wasn't very confident in water but wanted to change this state of affairs so that I can keep up with the grandchildren who all swim like dolphins. With Edward's help I have improved so much. I never thought I would ever be able to swim front crawl or enjoy doing it! Edward is unfailing calm and his teaching technique is excellent.

Delighted to recommend Edward at Swim For Life for his excellent tuition of my granddaughter through his kind and courteous attention.
Edward is equally very efficient and prompt in handling customers.
Nothing appears to much trouble for him and he certainly goes the extra mile.

I would highly recommend Edward to anyone thinking about improving their swimming. He is encouraging, has a kind and caring manner, enthusiastic, a really wonderful teacher. I haven’t had a lesson for over 40 years… It’s never too late to invest in yourself! Thanks so much Edward.

Edward is a very encouraging and insightful teacher. I was shy about taking lessons as an adult but I'm glad I took the plunge. Edward is able to communicate in a clear and friendly way and his enthusiasm for swimming shines through. My freestyle greatly improved after just a few lessons. Highly recommended.

Edward is a fantastic teacher. I've had a few lessons with him and will continue to do so. He has proven to be very knowledgeable, patient and thorough. Highly recommended.

Ed has been fantastic. He is extremely patient with our three kids who don’t always listen and they really enjoy their lessons with him.

Ed is our third swimming instructor and is by far the best. The kids have made more progress in just a few weeks than they have in several years with other instructors.

Can’t recommend him enough.

Edward is wonderful teacher. His love of swimming shines through in his teaching, whether he is teaching children or adults. I have had one-to-one classes with Edward with the aim of improving my freestyle technique, and my children have had beginners' classes with him. My girls describe him as the best teacher ever! He has a calm and thoughtful approach to teaching, and he encourages his students with warmth. I would highly recommend to anyone and everyone.

My teenage daughter requested swimming lessons to regain her confidence in the water and improve her technique. Job done. She has visibly improved and enjoys going in the water more. Thank you and we know where to find you for top up lessons.

Edward is kind, patient and encouraging. The method he teaches is smooth and efficient. I feel fantastic after every lesson.

My boys 7 and 5 have only had 3 lessons, but so far so good. I feel they are going to progress much quicker than in group lessons. My 7 year old said “Edward is kind and encouraging and the lessons are fun!” Also the pool is lovely and calm.

Got me from not being able to do 1 lap of the pool to successfully completing 2 triathlons.

Edward is a great teacher and explains things in a way that makes sense. I started trying to Swim as an Adult in November 2022, with very little experience swimming as a child initially taking group lessons but as I was struggling (and close to giving up) I sought out Swim for Life.

I’ve managed to progress so much quicker since taking lessons with Edward and have gone from not being able to finish a lap of the pool to planning for a 70.3 and working on finessing technique very quickly. I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to learn to swim or improve their technique!

As a 40 something non swimmer I was very apprehensive about learning to swim. Edward was patient and reassuring throughout and I now regularly swim showing you are never to old to learn something new - especially with the right teacher.

Edward is a really thoughtful and patient teacher. I echo the words of a previous reviewer in wishing I had discovered him years ago. I'm in my mid-fifties and have discovered a passion for something I long feared. Highly recommended.

Edward has been really easy to deal with and very flexible in accommodating my requirements. He's really patient with my three children and manages them really well in a single lesson despite their different abilities. Would highly recommend

During my 40+ years as a non-swimmer, having had a “near miss” as a child, many people have tried to get me into a pool and swimming but all have failed. Within 3 lessons with Ed I am very close to being able to complete a length with a properly learnt front crawl. Ed’s patience, empathy and self-guided pace of learning is brilliant. The way in which he identifies and explains the different exercises works incredibly well for my way of learning. I have gone from a nervous wreck at even the smell of chlorine to actually looking forward to my next lesson. Cannot praise or thank Ed enough, he’s literally changed my life for the better!

Really great instruction
Simple clear action points given enabling rapid progress and improvement.

We will be making lessons with Edward a regular event.

I am very pleased with my swimming lessons with Edward. He is a very relaxed and patient teacher (and an all-round nice guy). If you're looking to learn how to swim efficiently and elegantly, he will get you there. Highly recommend.

Thank you so much for the great weeks of swimming lesson. Edward is very patient to teach my children. He helps them get over the fears and give them all good skills. They had a lot of fun learning how to swim. We hope to see you very soon again!!!

Edward is a fantastic teacher. I’ve gone from not swimming at all and avoiding the water to being able to nearly complete a front crawl and consistently putting my head under the water. Edward is incredibly patient and constantly reassuring. He also doesn’t take the steps too quickly and cares a lot more about building my confidence and feeling natural within the water. Would recommend these lessons to anyone looking to learn as a nervous non-swimming adult. Thank you so much Edward!

Swimming delivered as a craft.
Edward is an amazing teacher who wants to embed the best technique from the start. Not only will he get your child swimming but swimming with a beautiful style.
His manner is fabulous with children and is is the most patient individual I know.
A true diamond of a find, my daughter is now a beautiful, confident swimmer who has nearly mastered all the strokes.
