Billericay & Basildon Swim School - What Our Clients Say

We attended a couple of swim schools before finding Elite swimming and find them to be the perfect balance for our two children. My daughter was always nervous in the water but has transformed in their classes to a confident, graceful swimmer who enjoys every class. My son has recently struggled leaving my side to get in the pool and the teachers have been amazingly patient with him, encouraging and giving him the additional help he needed. The small class numbers mean that teachers get to know each student and take the time to tailor their approach accordingly. I cannot recommend them enough.

My son loves this place! It has helped him improve all of his strokes, and he continues to get better with each session. We've been using this service almost every two months. Alex is an amazing coach!
We also highly recommend the group sessions — the class sizes are small, and the coaches are fantastic.
Thank you for everything you're doing!🏊

Found the stroke analysis session extremely helpful for our daughter who is a competitive swimmer. The instructor was knowledgeable and very open and showed excellent communication skills. The facilities were good and all worked as expected.
Instructions on getting to location helped, though suggest a sign out front would be beneficial
Also noted after the session they do not have ability to send recordings taken on video. I would suggest they should raise this verbally at the start as you can then make notes if needed or wish too. Just a suggestion.
Would say in all a very good service and well worth the money.

Had my first swim lesson with Claire yesterday and she was just brilliant. Warm, friendly and really gave me confidence to trust her in the water. As an adult non swimmer this has been a fear I’ve wanted to overcome for years and I feel like I’ve finally found the right place and instructor. Looking forward to my next lesson. Thank you.

Another exceptional, high-quality stroke analysis session from Elites. Their ability to quickly pinpoint stroke issues and offer a range of drills that genuinely correct them during the session never ceases to impress. The swimmer leaves feeling empowered, equipped with the knowledge and tools to carry these improvements into their training.

Excellent lesson with Claire. Her instruction was so informative and constructive. I came away with numerous points on which to work to enable me to be a more efficient swimmer. The endless pool is great and enables you to get so much more feedback. I will definitely be booking more lessons.

My son had the best lesson with Elite swimming yesterday. He had a 1-2-1 because he’s been nervous in the water before and hated lessons. Have to say, he absolutely loved his lesson with Elite and in just one lesson I think he achieved more than in the whole time he previously did group lessons!
It was made to be so fun and he can’t wait to come back.
Thank you

High quality 1-2-1 swimming lessons. The coach was patient, encouraging, and explained techniques in a clear and simple way.
I’d highly recommend these sessions to anyone looking to improve their swimming skills, whether beginner or advanced.

We have been using Elite Swimming for a couple of years now, and can only praise the coaching staff for what they have done for my daughter. She has improved so much on all strokes. We would definitely recommend Elite swimming to anyone that wants their child to take swimming to another level.

Our son has been swimming with Elites for a few years now. During his time with Elites, he has participated in group lessons, one-on-one stroke analysis, rookie lifeguarding, and water polo. All of these activities have been delivered in a professional and enjoyable environment. The swim teachers are very knowledgeable and establish a great rapport with the children. My son is a competitive swimmer, and Elites Swim School truly compliments his training needs. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

My daughter and I have visited Elites on two occasions now. On both these visits we worked with Natalie.
Natalie‘s analysis of my daughter’s technique and suggested corrections was brilliant. We have been able to take away the suggestions and work on these in her club training sessions.
If you are looking to “deep dive” into your swimming technique go visit Elite Swimming!

My daughter (now 7) joined Elite as a nervous swimmer and very anxious about not being able to touch the floor. Will’s learning style has done wonders for her confidence and enjoyment for swimming. Best decision we made coming to Elite! Her younger sister (3 years old) has recently started there too and is loving her lessons. We’re excited for her swimming journey at Elite now. Highly recommended Elite to others! Communication and support is 5*’s too!

Both of my children have been with Elites for a number of years and have several different coaches, all of whom have been amazing. Marteen, Fran and Megan are fantastic coaches. Fran takes my younger daughter who struggles to focus/listen/follow instructions. I speak to Fran frequently and support as much as possible however I know it can be testing so am so grateful for her patience and encouragement. Fran is great at reaching a balance with my daughter -she is patient but also firm when needed, always doing what she can to get the best from her during the lesson. Marteen and Meg have both taught my eldest daughter, both of whom she has loved. She is really excited about having Megan again now she has moved up a stage. They are all a huge asset to the swim school.

First class swim school with the best teachers! Both of my daughters have progressed so much since joining Elites and I would recommend them to anyone looking for swimming lessons. I’ve also had some private lessons as an adult and received some great advice on how to improve my technique which has made a huge difference to my swimming ability too.

Elities are fantastic. I have used them for swimming lessons for approximately 10 years, for both my children. Over the years I have highly recommend them to many friends and family. My second son was very fearful of water and required some extra 121 tuition to get him to the point he was ready to start group lessons. The staff were dedicated and compassionate supporting him through this and he has grown into a confident proficient swimmer under their tutorage. Thank you Elities!

Amazing.
My 10 year old with no confidence in the water is now learning great technique and moving up the stages. She loves it and is proud of herself.
We feel she is always safe and having fun with each of the instructors

My children’s swimming ability has sky rocketed since joining Elite swimming classes. I couldn’t be prouder of their achievements. The teachers are fantastic and you can really see how passionate they are about teaching the children key skills and techniques.

Excellent swimming instructors at Elites and always great communication from Alex and Will. My children love their swimming lessons and have improved significantly since they began and are now very confident swimmers. Would highly recommend this swim school
