At Swimsations Edinburgh, we offer personalised private swimming lessons designed to support confident, long-term progress.

Our lesson types:

• 1:1 Private Lessons
Fully individual coaching tailored to a swimmer’s goals, pace and learning style. Ideal for beginners, nervous swimmers, technique refinement or accelerated progression.

• 2:1 Private Lessons
Personalised coaching for two swimmers of a similar ability - perfect for siblings or friends who want focused instruction while benefiting from shared motivation and partner learning.

Why choose us?
We focus on high-quality instruction, small teaching ratios and a supportive environment that builds confidence as well as skill. Every session is adapted in real time, with clear progression, consistent instructors and pathways into group or advanced training when swimmers are ready.

Our approach prioritises safety, technique and enjoyment - helping swimmers develop strong foundations and a positive relationship with the water.

We recommend starting with our trial lessons. These are discounted lessons that allow you to come along to a one-off lesson to meet your instructor.

You can then choose if you would like to proceed with booking onto the term.

Swimsations Edinburgh delivers high-quality, structured swimming lessons with a strong focus on confidence, safety, and clear progression. Our qualified instructors follow a consistent teaching curriculum from the STA, ensuring every swimmer receives the same high standard of coaching.

We provide personalised progression report booklets and access to the Swimsations Edinburgh portal app, allowing families to track progress, lesson information, and key updates with ease.

Alongside this, we run dedicated Safety Week, where swimmers practise real-life water safety skills such as floating, self-rescue, and swimming in clothing.

At Swimsations Edinburgh, swimmers can start lessons from age 3 and over.

From this age, children are typically ready to follow instructions, build water confidence independently and begin developing core swimming skills. Lessons focus on safety, confidence, floating, basic movement and early stroke foundations, with progression tailored to each swimmer’s pace.
