1-to-1 Swimming Coaches in Shoreham-by-Sea

Private 1-to-1 swimming coaching in Shoreham-by-Sea typically costs between £30 and £60 per hour. Coaches with academy or international coaching experience sit at the top of that range. Block bookings of 5 or 10 sessions almost always come with a discount — ask about it when you enquire.

Sessions typically run on public leisure-centre pools and some club pools — around Shoreham-by-Sea that includes Buckingham Park, Middle Road Recreation Ground and Shoreham Beach Green, plus school and club sites when the coach has an arrangement in place. Shoreham FC at Middle Road, Adur watersports and Shoreham Rowing Club for on-water coaching and Sussex county athletics athletes often train down the coast at Withdean. 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.

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.

• 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 Shoreham-by-Sea and by swimming, read reviews from other local families, and message a coach before booking a trial session.
