“I was terrified of putting my face in the water. Maryam was so patient — in just 12 sessions I swam a full length for the first time in my life.”
“My daughter went from crying at the poolside to loving her lessons. The games make it fun and she's already swimming front crawl.”
“The lifesaving course was brilliant — clear, professional and hands-on. I passed first time and feel ready to help in a real emergency.”

I'm afraid of water. Can I still learn?
Absolutely — it's one of my specialities. We start gently, at your own pace, and most nervous beginners are swimming a length within their first course.
How many lessons until I can swim?
Most learners swim confidently in around 12 private sessions. Complete beginners and young children sometimes need a few more — I'll give you an honest estimate after your first lesson.
Do you teach children and adults?
Yes — all ages. Children learn through games and play, and adults returning after years away are very welcome. Every class is 100% private and tailored to you.
Do you offer lifeguard / lifesaving courses?
Yes. I run professional lifesaving and water-rescue courses covering both theory and in-water practice, with a certificate on completion.
Where do the lessons take place?
Across London, based on your area, in equipped pools that meet the highest safety standards. Tell me where you are and I'll arrange the nearest option.
Can I choose my own times?
Of course — classes are scheduled around your free time, including evenings and weekends where pools are available.

Better swimming starts with one session.
