**About the Company**
Elite Swimming Academy was established in 2007, shortly after our founder swam solo across the English Channel in 14 hours. The Company was born from his passion for passing the knowledge and wisdom of the sport. He identified a clear need for high-end private swimming tuition with a personal touch and five-star customer service.
The company has grown from doing just one or two lessons per week to teaching an average of 1000 children and adults every week, from complete beginners through to fitness swimmers, triathletes and even members of the British Team Small classes combined with innovative teaching techniques and the highest quality teachers & coaches are why we get such fast results in our students.
