"Incredible Swimming Instructor"
Ive just finished a 10 lesson package and I couldn’t recommend them enough!
Paul (Drogan) is an incredible swimming instructor, and the difference in my swimming ability between when I started and when I finished is night and day; very flexible lessons too with sessions being offered every day of the week.

"Extremeley patient and precise"
I've had the pleasure of taking a set of lessons with Paul, who was extremely patient, observant, and precise with all his instructions. I learned everything from scratch by following his clear guidance, to the point where I was able to enjoy a few boat tours this summer. This would have been completely unthinkable before signing up and committing to the process. I would definitely recommend him!

"Lessons were well-structured"
I had a fantastic experience learning with Paul. He was patient, knowledgeable, and an excellent instructor. I picked up new techniques quickly thanks to his clear guidance and encouragement. The lessons were enjoyable and well-structured, and I felt more confident in the water after just a few sessions. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their swimming skills!

"Lessons have been life changing"
Swimming lessons with Paul have been brilliant. I hadn't been swimming since the age of 12 and I really thought it was something I couldn't do but my partner bought me these lessons and they have been life changing. I have gone from never wanting to swim at all to going at least once or twice a week. Paul taught me the basics of technique and gave me the confidence to keep going on my own. He was patient and broke down the steps into something I could manage, providing constant feedback and knowing just what was needed to concentrate on to make things better. I've continued learning on my own and will definitely be back to get some more help for the next stages of my swimming journey.

"Improvements in just one lesson"
Great session and instructing from coach Paul. Literally just one lesson made huge amount of improvement to my technique and therefore the way I feel in the water and the skimming pace.
Jacob P.
"Improved technique enormously"
Paul was a great teacher, patient and encouraging. In just a few lessons he helped me improve my technique enormously. It has transformed my swimming. A really worthwhile experience.
Jane S.
"Amazing teacher"
Amazing, my teacher was so great, he took it easy but built up skills and we learned exactly what we set out to learn
Zahira B.
"Full attention lessons"
From feeling nervous to swimming and breathing under water in my first lesson. I cannot wait for the next lesson. Paul is kind, fun and breaks it all down in to manageable chunks.
I am so glad that I decided on one to one so I could get the full attention and have reassurance when I have to have a go at a new move. The water is not freezing and that really helps too.

"Triathlon lessons were tailor-made"
I have been taking swimming lessons for a couple of months now and was a bit hesitant initially (how people would look at an adult learning to swim as I only knew one style). However, when I started, all discomfort went away. Paul is a great coach, having a tailor made approach to every student. I wanted to train for a triathlon so we adapted the training to take that into account. Classes are very enjoyable and insightful. Booking classes is also super easy, which is, in my view, very important. I am pleased with my progress and very grateful so I would definitely recommend.

"The world is my oyster"
Thoroughly enjoyed my learning to swim journey with Paul over the course of a year. I started from scratch with more lessons at the beginning then dialled down midway and towards the end as could now supplement with personal training at my local leisure center. I am now giving pointers to some of my friends! I focussed mainly on the front crawl and the breaststroke with lots of emphasis on technique. I also learnt the backstroke (regular and elementary) and the fly kicks. The world’s my oyster as far as swimming is concerned. If you are a complete beginner, please be patient and do not give up. It gets a lot easier with time. Also, helps a tonne if you can practise somewhere on your own if you are reasonably confident. The progress is non-linear, at least it was for me, but the end result is night and day relative to where I started. Anyway, I highly recommend and all the best. Many thanks once again Paul if you happen to come across this.

Super friendly and felt at ease straight away. Only had the one lesson but gave me a big confidence boost and some good tips to take forward.

"Fantastic course of 10 lessons"
Paul was a fantastic teacher for me over the course of my 10 lessons. He was understanding, patient and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend his services to new swimmers
Charlie S.
"Paul went above and beyond"
I am very appreciatative of my lessons with Paul. Having come in with helath complications I wasn't expecting much but Paul went above and beyond to ensure that I enjoyed myself, learned techniques and effectively provided feedback so I would improve. Administratively, was easy to schedule appointments. 💯 recommend them for anyone looking to learn how to swim and/or improve their techniques.

"Now I have a much better stroke"
Great coach, really enjoyed working with him. He broke down all the problems with how I was swimming, got me practicing individual changes then built it all back up to a much better stroke. I wanted coaching as while I've been swimming all my life, I've never quite got the hang of 'proper' swimming with the right breathing technique - so swimming always felt like a bit of a fight. I wanted to get to a sustainable easy stroke - and Paul achieved that with just a small set of half-hour lessons.

"Learned frontcrawl in one lesson"
Paul was an amazing teacher! I came as a beginner who could do breaststroke and wanted to learn front crawl. The instructions were so clear that i was able to learn it in 1 lesson. With 5 followup lessons, now I feel very comfortable with my front crawl and has improved a lot for my breaststroke (much faster and less effort). Highly recommend! The classes are always fun as well and the comments/feedback are point-on
Helen H.
"Total Beginner masters all four strokes"
Had a fantastic time learning to swim with my instructor Paul. Paul is very patient, encouraging and supportive and took me from a total beginner to someone who can now swim all 4 strokes. I would recommend Swimming Lessons London

"Coaching level just right"
Fantastic lessons! I really enjoyed them and the coaching level was just right. Would absolutely recommend.

"Excellent Coach For Technical Progression"
I’ve been taking lessons with Paul recently and have seen a noticeable improvement in my stroke efficiency and overall confidence in the water. Paul has a great eye for detail; he’s able to spot small imbalances in your technique that make a huge difference once corrected.
He is patient, professional, and clearly knows the mechanics of swimming inside out. The sessions are well-structured, and he manages to strike a good balance between pushing you to improve and making sure you’re comfortable with the drills.
The only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is that the sessions can sometimes be quite intense back-to-back, but if you’re serious about improving your swimming form, I’d highly recommend him.

"Life Changing Experience
When I first decided to take swimming lessons in 2023, I had a real fear of water. I remember speaking to Paul who book the lessons. Paul put my mind at ease and reassured me I would be in good hands. My first lessons were with Theo. He was amazing. I will never forget Theo who helped me overcome my fear of water and helped me learn to swim.
I was introduced to Paul, the swimming instructor when Theo left. Paul, equally amazing instructor. He taught me a lot and I have become a better swimmer. His geniune love for teaching, patience, support, and encouragement helped motivate me to continue the swimming lessons. He made learning to swim an incredible experience and one that I will always remember.
Booking the lessons was with ease.The front desk staff is warm and welcoming. The swimming pool and facilities are very clean.
I am a late swimmer. Learning to swim has been a life changing experience and I am so grateful to have had this experience with Paul my swimming instructor and the team. Thank you.🙂❤️❤️❤️❤️

"Perfect Teacher"
Excellent. Was looking to get more confident at swimming and couldn't have found a more perfect teacher than Paul. Feel really lucky to have found the right teacher.
J Y.
"Excellent Coach For Technical Progression"
Learning with Paul has been the best decision I’ve made for getting back into swimming this year. The booking system fit in perfectly with a busy schedule as you can make bookings as you go within your purchased package. This helps me stay show up more consistently as I can just book lessons according to my availability.

"Understanding of Water Phobia"
Paul is just so kind and very understanding of my water phobia
Lola T.
"Perfect Teacher"
As a beginner swimmer, I have found Paul to be an excellent coach, he is patient and has a keen eye on technique. I was initially anxious of being in the water but Paul put me at ease immediately, and I am much more confident in the pool. It is reassuring that Paul also comes into the pool which is helpful in understanding correct technique. He is also great fun to have as an instructor ! I couldn't be happier with my progress and I am so pleased that I found Swimming Lessons London@TheCircleSpa
