1-to-1 Swimming Coaches in Lewes
No verified swimming coach covering Lewes yet
Lewes is ten minutes from Brighton, so families get Brighton's coaching supply with far less pitch congestion. If you're looking for 1-to-1 swimming coaching in Lewes, the practical questions are usually: who has actually coached at a level above where your swimmer is now, where in East Sussex they'll travel, and whether they can commit to a regular session slot in term time. Every coach on CoachSpot is verified — DBS, safeguarding, insurance and qualifications are checked before a profile goes live, and the blue tick is only awarded after that review is complete.
A good 1-to-1 swimming coach in Lewes will typically offer 1-to-1 stroke technique — front crawl, backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly, turns, dives and race starts and endurance and pace-set work for club swimmers. Sessions typically run on public leisure-centre pools and some club pools — around Lewes that includes The Dripping Pan, Malling Recreation Ground and Lewes Leisure Centre, plus school and club sites when the coach has an arrangement in place. Lewes FC at The Dripping Pan runs an equal-pay, community-first model with a strong youth setup, Lewes Rugby Club at Stanley Turner and Lewes Athletics Club. Coaching for young swimmers usually starts structured 1-to-1 stroke work typically from 7+, after basic water safety; adults and returning players are welcome across the board.
Expect to pay roughly £30–£60 per hour for private swimming coaching in Lewes. Coaches with academy or international coaching backgrounds tend to sit at the top of that range; newer coaches or block-of-5 bookings sit lower.

Lewes FC at The Dripping Pan runs an equal-pay, community-first model with a strong youth setup, Lewes Rugby Club at Stanley Turner and Lewes Athletics Club. If your swimmer has a preferred venue, mention it in your enquiry — CoachSpot coaches list the venues they can travel to, and many will meet you at your local club or park.
Do swimming coaches need a DBS check or safeguarding certificate?
Any coach working 1-to-1 with under-18s in the UK should hold an enhanced DBS check and a current safeguarding certificate. On CoachSpot both are mandatory — a coach's profile can't go live without them, and the verified badge on the profile means we've seen and reviewed the certificates directly. Under-8s should never be coached poolside without a second adult present — reputable coaches insist on it.
How do I choose the right swimming coach in Lewes?
• Look for a Swim England (ASA) qualification — Level 2 is the working standard • Ask whether the venue has restricted lane time — 1-to-1 in a busy public lane rarely works well • For race-focused swimmers, ask specifically about turns and starts, not just stroke On CoachSpot you can filter by Lewes and by swimming, read reviews from other local families, and message a coach before booking a trial session.
