About Tom
Hi there,
I'm a swimming teacher who has been teaching for quite a while now.
I started off lifeguarding when I was 16, then moved on from there. I've taught pretty much everyone from 3 years upwards and have had some really good feedback from the adults I've taught in the past. This positive feedback is what has kept me going. One fact which I still can't believe to this day is that I managed to improve an adults swimming ability (tri athlete) without even meeting them. His wife who I was teaching at the time simply passed on what I was teaching. This made me think "if I can help him, maybe I can help others too" which lead me to write the book "The Mindset Of Floating" which you can take a peek on Amazon here:
(concealed information)
I will change your mindset about the water without you even knowing. One minute you'll be scared to put your face in, the next you'll be "annoyed" you can't sit on the pool floor. As well as water confidence, I'm told I'm very good at finding what is causing the problem and finding a way to fix it.

My teaching method is NOT "by the book". Some of it is based on what we're taught on the course but barely. The way I teach is based on psychology and physics. I also adapt my methods for the fastest and best results. Everything I've taught I've tried and tested myself.
As someone who has had a back and shoulder injury I also foucs on the biology of the body. Joints only have a limited amount of movement and doing the wrong motion will lead to problems in the future. Sadly, this is common.
I teach all levels and abilities and really excel at building water confidence.

Since I can remember I have had a terrifying fear of floating. Not being underwater, just floating! Having had over seven previous swim teachers and years of trying to, I still can't swim! I approached Tom the other day when I noticed him coaching an experienced swimmer. I spoke with him and he felt confident he could eliminate my fear of floating and get me swimming.
My first lesson was yesterday. Within 15 minutes I was under the water and floating! Within 30 minutes I swam a couple of strokes for the first time in over 50 years of trying! His approach was very different, incredibly confident, breaking down each exercise in such a way as to give me total assurance that I would be OK. I can't wait for the next lesson and am so excited about something that normally freezes me with fear. Yes I probably will have fear trying to grip me before I enter the water but I know Tom will help me banish it and let me swim.
As a former GM within the leisure industry I have employed many coaches in different fields of sport. Tom's approach is masterful. I highly recommend Tom. What a remarkable coach. His techniques can only improve your experience in the water at whatever level you are.
Tom has a fantastic demeanour when teaching and has very quickly developed a natural rapport with our two daughters. He is very patient and encouraging and their swimming has already improved after only a few lessons. He is very reliable and trustworthy. They really look forward to his lessons each week. We would highly recommend him.
We’ve been incredibly happy with Tom as our children’s private swimming instructor. He has been giving lessons at our home and has consistently shown professionalism, patience, and great skill.
Tom is excellent with our boys – he knows how to keep them engaged, motivated, and most importantly, safe in the water. His approach is calm, encouraging, and tailored to each child’s needs and confidence level. We've seen real progress in their swimming abilities since starting lessons with him.
He’s also extremely reliable, always arriving on time and prepared, which we really appreciate. It’s clear that he genuinely cares about the kids' development and takes his role seriously.
We would highly recommend Tom to any family looking for a trustworthy and talented swimming instructor.Thoroughly enjoyed my lesson with Tom! He was very knowledgeable and his instructions and cues helped me improve even though it was only one session. Would recommend to a friend.
Tom is an amazing swimming teacher who put you at ease with his patience, kindness and reassurance. He is clearly very passionate about what he does and I am so grateful to him for all he has taught me. I’d highly recommend!
I am 42 years old and my entire life I've been terrified of deep water as I had a couple of incidents in my childhood. But I've always wanted to swimm and couldn't find someone to trust enough so they can teach me. I found a course for swimming at a school in London and decid it to take the risk and try it.
And then is when I met Tom, which with his amazing patience and extraordinary teaching skills convinced my to listen to his commands like I would have never been scared of water. I definetly recommend him as he has changed my life completely. After just a few lessons I was confident enough to "jump" into the swimming pool like I would have done it my entire life.
As a closing I would like to say a HUGE THANK YOU Tom for everything that you have tought me!!!Tom is the best swimming teacher we’ve ever had! All my boys adore him and their technique is so much better. They have really gained confidence in the water.
Tom has been an amazing swimming teacher for my 2 children. He teaches technique as well as making the lessons really fun. He really understands the children and how to get the most out of them. I would highly recommend Tom.
