Why not celebrate the opening of sport venues with swimming. No matter how old you are, whether you are a swimmer, or always wanted to learn to swim, even if you are afraid of water as I was. My teacher is the most incredible teacher who has given me confidence and taught me to swim. He is very patient, has a sense of humour, is dedicated, kind and persuasive at encouraging you to do what you want to achieve. My friend and I simply love him. We would highly recommend him to anyone. If you are looking for an excellent and amazing swimming coach at any level, he is always the one to contact, every time. If you are not sure, try for yourself and see, you are guaranteed to not be disappointed. Thank you very much to him.

When I had my first lesson with a man in Oct 2016 I could just about make my way to the end of a 20m pool. I had no technique and needed about 5 minutes to compose myself before another. I hated swimming.

In July last year, I am so proud to say that I did the 1 mile Great North Swim.

I'm doing the 2-mile this year.

His approach is brilliant - every lesson felt like I was taking huge strides - or rather strokes forwards.

Thank-you to my teacher, for giving me the opportunity to do something I never thought was possible.

My partner bought me a course of stroke development lessons with an instructor as a birthday present. I was really quite nervous about going to the pool and having to do front crawl infant of a coach, but he is the sort of person that you instantly warm to. I was put right at ease, and looked forward to each of the development challenges. we worked through the drills in a logical order, building on each element week by week, with plenty of time for me to go away and practise in between.

The instructor uses some pretty clever software on his iPad to film your stroke, and this really helped me to understand how to improve, both under the water and on the recovery part of the stroke.

I would recommend his approach to anyone, if you have an interest and want to improve, but don't know how to, get in touch!

I thought I should let other people know if they are thinking of using a swim coach then don't waste any more time looking and instead just contact the person I dealt with @ create fitness Bristol & benfit from his vast knowledge & experience into making you a faster stronger & much improved swimmer no matter what stroke you use.

I contacted this man & have been using him to greatly improve my stroke and the guy is a magician when it comes to making you a better & more confident swimmer. He is a very calm, patient, knowledgeable coach & passionate about making you a better swimmer from the first session. He never rushes the coaching & gives you constant feedback & encouragement in each session. With the added bonus of a perfect pool setup and with him videoing you as you swim to show what things you were doing wrong is a huge benefit & the quickest way to improve using his instruction & coaching.

I would fully recommend this man to anyone who wants to improve any aspect of their swimming no matter how good or bad they think they are. I myself will continue using him to benefit me improving my other strokes.

You can even check out his online swim coaching tips & like I said this guy is a magician in the coaching world of swimming.

I took on swimming a few years ago after my doctor recommended it to manage back pain following a car accident however my limited abilities (I learnt breaststroke largely by myself) meant that I started to feel frustrated in the pool. I decided to get professional advice and booked my first ever swimming lesson with the person I dealt with about a year ago. This was one of the best decisions I made!

The few bad habits that I had picked up over the years were quickly corrected and I now feel much more confident with my breaststroke technique. After a few further sessions, I was able to swim front crawl as well, and I am now planning to learn backstroke.

Highly recommended!

Before we started working with the person I dealt with on our swimming my partner could not swim at all, I could hardly swim but not with a recognisable stroke. In less than a year later we have been swimming and snorkelling in the Pacific Ocean, the Andaman Sea and the Lybian Sea. Our experiences during our holidays have been transformed by our new found ability to swim and the confidence we now have in the water.

He uses a relaxed coaching style that focuses on constant improvement while breaking down each stroke into easy to practice parts. We would recommend him to both beginners and experienced swimmers who wish to improve their swimming.

I cant recommend Create Fitness highly enough, I could barely swim when I first went but after 3 lessons felt calm and confident in the water, and even completed a sprint triathlon. The lessons are well structured as to not feel overwhelming but still made huge progress each time. The instructor had the perfect balance of relaxed good humour and an attention to technical detail. I would recommend to anyone looking to learn to swim or improve their technique at any level. Hugely enjoyable and excellent value for money.

I finally admitted that I needed to get some adult swim lessons just after the birth of my daughter. The biggest hurdle for me was not the water, but the thought that as an adult I should already be able to swim and admitting to another person I needed to be taught. Any fears about this, or actually swimming were very quickly put to rest by the excellent instructor, and a very thorough well explained and advised set of 4/5 lessons followed. Having only stopped going due to location and convenience of my local branch of the gym instead, the lessons and instructor are very poor in comparison and will soon be returning to the create fit team for a few more lessons. In short, well worth every penny, and exactly what I was looking for. Very good knowledge, explanation and practice drills. Thank you.

As an adult new to swimming, I was quite anxious and very self conscious about getting started so late. The person I dealt with is super patient, helpful and attentive and friendly.. He is always quick answer any queries about the site, or bookings. The block booking system is also a good deal. I totally recommend the person I dealt with and his teaching.

I'd always done a bit of swimming to keep fit but never knew what I was really meant to be doing so I booked a lesson with them to get some advice. It is fair to say that he has transformed my swimming technique. Due to his help and encouragement I have gone from a bit of pool swimming to entering a 10K open water event - something I had always wanted to do but thought was impossible. As well as advice during the lessons he has provided me with a training plan and support to enable me to achieve my swimming goals. He is an excellent teacher and I would highly recommend him to anyone.
