Why one-on-one

Why private lessons

One-to-one teaching isn’t just more pleasant. It’s the most effective way anyone has found to teach a skill. Here’s what the research actually says.

  • 98% The average student taught one-to-one outperformed 98% of students taught in a group, one of the largest effects ever measured in education. Bloom, Educational Researcher, 1984
  • 88% Lower risk of drowning among children aged 1 to 4 who had taken formal swimming lessons, compared with children who hadn’t. Brenner et al., Journal of Pediatrics, 2009
  • In a group class of six, your child gets roughly a sixth of the instructor’s attention. In a private lesson they get all of it, for the full 30 minutes. Simple arithmetic, not a study
  • 1:1 Every session is adapted on the spot to how your child is doing that day, rather than following a fixed class plan. Nobody waits on the wall.

The first two figures come from published research on one-to-one teaching and on formal swim lessons generally, not from our own classes. We’d rather point you at real evidence than invent our own.

What every lesson includes

Built around your swimmer, not a class schedule

High-quality private lessons built on water safety, steady progress and real confidence. Sessions stay active and fun while challenging your swimmer to grow at their own pace.

  1. 01 Water safety first. Breath control, floating, treading, and safe entries and exits are built into the plan from the very first lesson.
  2. 02 A curriculum built for your child. Lesson length and content tailored for infants, kids and teens, from a first time in the pool to refining a competitive stroke.
  3. 03 Progress you can actually see. With undivided attention kids move fast, and most parents notice a clear difference within the first few sessions.
  4. 04 Honest feedback after every session. You always know what your swimmer is working on next, and exactly where they stand.
