We’ve been so lucky to have George as our 8-year-old son’s swimming teacher for the past four years! We started with one-on-one lessons and later moved to small group sessions. George was always super attentive, warm, and friendly. Our son couldn’t wait for his lessons each week, and now he absolutely loves swimming. He’s become an excellent swimmer, and we owe it all to George’s fantastic teaching!

George has taught both my children (9 and 7 years old) from a very young age and I’ve seen their confidence in the water grow. They look forward to their swimming lessons and because George has built a caring and trusting relationship with them, they push themselves and have excelled in their swimming practice. Thank you George, we will miss your smiles.

George Georgiou is an inspirational, patient and kind swimming teacher. My two children, now 6 and 9, have had lessons with George since they were toddlers, and both love their weekly lesson with him. They have made excellent progress and, thanks to George, they are both super swimmers.

After many many years of various municipal group lessons, the first time the children have truly learnt to swim is with George and his team.

George has been teaching both my kids for a number of years now, and they have improved enormously over that time. He maintains the right balance between learning, practice and fun, and they always look forward to the lessons.

George has taught all three of my sons to swim. He is a wonderful and inspiring teacher whom they all adore. They look forward to their lessons every week and have learnt skills such as lifesaving and diving as well as swimming. George has guided my eldest son through the physical aspect of his Bronze and Silver Duke of Edinburgh awards and they are now embarking on the Gold award. I would not hesitate to recommend George as a swimming teacher for both beginners and the more advanced – and I would go so far as to say you will not find anyone better.

George has taught all 3 of my children to swim with immense patience and skill. They have all reached a very high standard while maintaining interest and enthusiasm for the sport. He manages to make the lessons fun while teaching at the same time. We have moved out of London and the one person they all miss is George!

Let me know if you want to change anything.

Dear George

Wanted to write something hopefully you can use..

George taught all three of our children to swim from a very early age. He saw them through all of their awards from Learn to Swim to the later Gold Challenges and he is a highly experienced and encouraging teacher. All of the children are now very strong swimmers and George will always be a special person to them. He is an excellent teacher with just the right balance of fun and focus to help them try their best and strive to improve whilst enjoying their lesson. Our eldest is hypermobile and his regular swim sessions meant that he has grown into a fit, strong and healthy young man. Our three are too old now for any more swim lessons but we think of George and thank him whenever we see them swimming so confidently and happily in any type of water. Huge thank you to George.

Thanks George

We had tried various swimming classes before finding Matt. We struck gold! Matt’s swimming lessons are my children’s highlight of the week! While they are making great progress and learning great technique from Matt, he also injects the lessons with much fun and laughter.

My daughter loved swimming lessons with Matt, she improved rapidly and consistently over the few years we attended. He has a great manner, he takes it seriously but the kids don’t feel pressured and there’s always some jokes too. She always came away with a smile and so much self confidence from seeing the progress she was making. The quality and effectiveness of Matt’s lessons are leaps and bounds over any she or any of her friends have had elsewhere. Highly recommended.

Ellie

Benjamin has made really good progress in his swimming since he started with Matt in September. Six months ago he would exhaust himself just trying to stay afloat and struggled to coordinate his breathing and swim strokes. Now he is swimming much more efficiently and with such improved technique – his swimming looks great and he always has a big smile on his face throughout the class!

Matt is an exceptional swimming teacher who has been teaching my three kids (Two eleven year olds and one 8 year old) in the Highbury Grove pool for two years. His firm yet kind approach resonates incredibly well with them – they’ve made great progress and genuinely love their lessons.

Jenny

Our ten-year-old daughter’s swimming has come on in leaps and bounds since starting lessons with Matt. Her stamina and technique have really improved. Most importantly he makes the lessons fun and enjoyable so she always looks forward to going. I highly recommend Matt.

Fiona

Our daughter loves her group swimming classes with Matt – they are a highlight of her week. He makes the lessons lots of fun and her swimming has improved greatly since starting classes with him

Julia

Matt has been a lovely teacher, he’s really helped to grow Henry’s confidence, and his swimming has come on a treat- huge thank you Matt.

Hannah

My children love coming to swimming. Matt is an engaging teacher who has built their confidence and given them the targeted feedback within small groups to become stronger and more independent swimmers

Mandy

Matt has been a lovely teacher, he’s really helped to grow Henry’s confidence, and his swimming has come on a treat- huge thank you Matt.
