About Lauren
Hello, I'm Lauren, and thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I am a qualified swimming teacher based in London with 8 years of experience helping children and adults become safe, confident and capable swimmers.
I hold the Swim England Level 2 Certificate in Teaching Aquatics and the National Pool Lifeguard Qualification (NPLQ). My First Aid and CPR training is fully up to date, and I have a current Enhanced DBS check, safeguarding training and public liability insurance. Your safety, and that of your child if they are the one learning, always comes first.
Over the years I have taught complete beginners, nervous swimmers, school-age children, and adults who have been waiting a long time to learn. Whatever your starting point, I will never rush you or make you feel judged. My approach is calm, patient and encouraging, and I believe confidence in the water grows through small, steady successes.
Every student begins with a friendly assessment, so that lessons are tailored to their ability, goals and pace. I explain each skill clearly, demonstrate it, and give positive, practical feedback so that you always know what you are doing well and what to work on next. I also keep track of progress, so you can see how far you have come.
I am reliable, punctual and well prepared for every lesson, and I am always happy to answer questions before you book. If you would like to discuss your goals or arrange a first lesson, please send me a message. I would be delighted to help you or your child enjoy the water with confidence.

My Approach to Teaching;
I believe everyone can learn to swim, whatever their age or starting point. My lessons are built on patience, clear communication, and steady progress. I start every student with a short assessment so I can see their current ability, comfort level, and goals, then I build a plan around them rather than using a one-size-fits-all programme.
Techniques and Methodology;
Water confidence first: Nervous swimmers begin with breathing, floating, and gentle water games, so fear is replaced by trust before technique is introduced.
Step-by-step skill building: I break each stroke into small, manageable parts (body position, breathing, arm action, kick, timing) and put them together gradually.
Demonstrate, practise, correct: I demonstrate each skill, let the student try it, and give instant, positive feedback. Where useful, I use floats, kickboards, and pull buoys to isolate technique.
Stroke refinement: Improvers work on freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly, with attention to efficiency, endurance, and turns.
Water safety: Every lesson includes safety skills such as treading water, safe entries and exits, and what to do in an emergency.
Progress tracking: I set achievable goals and review them regularly, so students (and parents) can see their improvement.
Lesson Length;
Lessons last 60 minutes minimum. This gives time for a warm-up, focused skill work, practice, and a short cool-down and recap. Longer sessions (5 hours and 10 hrs) are available for advanced students or intensive courses.
Qualifications and Experience;
8 years of experience teaching swimming to children and adults
Swim England Level 2 Certificate in Teaching Aquatics (or equivalent)
National Pool Lifeguard Qualification (NPLQ)
Up-to-date First Aid and CPR certification
Enhanced DBS check and safeguarding training
Public liability insurance
Experience with complete beginners, nervous swimmers, and students working towards stroke improvement or fitness goals
Who My Lessons Are For;
Children aged 4 and up learning the basics
Teenagers and adults who never learned, or want to overcome a fear of water
Improvers who want to refine technique, build stamina, or learn new strokes
Fitness swimmers and triathletes preparing for events
Anyone preparing for school swimming requirements or open-water swimming
Lessons can be one-to-one or in small groups, and I’m happy to work with students of all abilities.
