“Fulham Swim School is brilliant. The pool is very small but it has a current for resistance and the small size means the teachers can be right next to the children throughout the lesson. It's also very well run and setting up lessons was a smooth pro...”

Around 30% of adults in the UK can’t swim a length. Yet, one quarter of adult non-swimmers would like to learn how🏊‍♀️🏊🏻🏊🏽‍♂️ As a non or weak swimmer, it's easy to look around the pool and see everyone swimming up and down and think you're the only one that can't swim or lack confidence.. But you really aren't alone 👙🩲 There isn't a day goes by when we receive a call or email asking about lessons for adults wanting to learn or improve. We think it becomes more noticable once you have children or grandchildren and want to spend time with them in the pool, especially during the holiday season 🌞 So why not take this time to invest in yourself and join us this year.. You've nothing to lose and everything to gain💪🥽🤿 Oh, and the voucher code applies to childrens lessons too 💦💙...

FAQs
What are the benefits of learning to swim?
There are several benefits of swimming, that is why this is a great form of exercise, regardless of age. It improves your posture, it helps people who suffer from scoliosis, it burns calories, and it improves your mood as well. By swimming, you work with your entire body.
How do you breathe when swimming?
Breathing during swimming occurs in short intervals. It usually takes place in the second you come up. Your breathing timing should be such that if you take 1 second to breath-in outside the water, you should take couple of seconds to breathe-out inside the water. This way you can establish a pattern of breathing.
What is the first session with a personal trainer like?
The first personal training session is an introductory session where the client and the instructor introduce themselves. In the first session, the personal trainer would ask you about your goals and how often you want to have these sessions. Through this, both of you would be able to construct a workout regime that helps you to become more fit and achieve your goals.
Is going to a personal trainer once a week enough?
It is preferable to have personal training sessions twice a week coupled with two individual sessions. This means that you would be working out 4 days in a week. Having more sessions would make sure that you remain consistent and would enable you to monitor your progress. However, having one session a week is better than having no sessions at all.
How is having a personal trainer beneficial?
Personal Trainers help you to overcome the performance plateau and improve your technique. They also increase your dedication towards reaching your fitness goals but holding you accountable and suggesting the best possible way forward.
