We teach adults and children of all levels from beginners to experienced competitive swimmers. Whatever your situation and reasons, we will be happy to help you improve your stroke, speed and distance, get in great shape, and enjoy this beautiful sport.

NL Wellness swimming coaches are based in Exeter, Devon. Our private swimming lessons are held in the pool at the Middlemoor Police HQ.

Fear of the water

We enjoy training beginners, including people with phobias of the water. It is tremendously rewarding to see them grow in confidence and ability. We have also trained children and young people who want to increase their prowess in school and club teams for swimming and water polo, progressing to elite swimmers at university, county, national and international level.

Swimming for injury recovery

The advantages of swimming especially apply after an injury. Acquiring skills in swimming will allow you to stay really fit and develop your stroke without fearing further injury. It will aid your recovery and allow you to get back to full health as soon as possible. Swimming is perfect for rehabilitation as it is non-impact and works the entire body and cardiovascular system. Some clients actually finish their rehab programme fitter than before they were injured.

Professional Swimming Coaching
From Fear to Fun
