Why private lessons
Attention you will not get in a standard class
In a group of eight, you get a few minutes of real coaching. Here, every minute is yours.
Technique that lasts
Stroke correction, breathing rhythm and body position taught as habits — so the improvement stays after the lesson ends.
Mobility & strength
Kicking, shoulder range and hip flexibility are half the battle. We build the movement, not just the stroke.
Your own pool
Learn where you are comfortable, with no crowd watching. Or use a pool I have access to — whichever suits you.
How it works
Four steps, no guesswork
01
Free consultation
We talk through your goals, your history with water, and what you actually want out of it. No cost, no commitment.
02
Assessment
I assess your mobility and current swimming ability, then build a customised plan from where you genuinely are.
03
Coaching
We start with water confidence, breathing and stroke correction — supported by video analysis so you can see it yourself.
04
Progress
We track what is changing and keep building strength and efficiency, so improvement compounds instead of plateauing.
Video analysis
See exactly what your
It is very hard to change something you cannot see. I film your swimming and we review it together — frame by frame, in plain language, with a clear list of what to work on next.
- Above and below the surface — catch, pull, kick and body position.
- Reviewed with you, not emailed as a report you never open.
- Repeated over time so you can see the change, not just feel it.

Karan
Nearly four years instructing across four swim programs — Nereids Aquatic Centre, Sydney Olympic Park, Waves Aquatic Centre and Future Swim — teaching swimmers of every age. Licensed by Royal Life Saving NSW, CPR certified, WWCC cleared.
Small, compound efforts lead to long-term change. I would rather you master one stage than rush through four.

What swimmers say
Such a genuine and kind instructor! He took the time to understand what I needed and even suggested places and people who could help me better. His honesty and helpful nature really impressed me. Definitely someone you can trust.
Karan was a great instructor. We did weekly classes in the summer at my own pool. The lessons were clear and simple. I would often split the classes between my younger daughter and myself. He brought all the equipment and carried out the lessons with the utmost professionalism.
