Meet the owner - Jo
Hello and lovely to meet you!
Welcome to Swimwell!
As a previous proud owner of Swim England Swim School of the Year 2022 (GR Swimming School 2019-2024) I bring you passion, empathy, knowledge and huge love for what I do.
I'm only as good as my team, so we work hard, play hard whilst maintaining the highest standards of Health and Safety.
I'm a seasoned risk assessor so will not compromise on the safety of any of my children, swimmers and staff.
My two grown up children will tell you I insist on manners, rules and good communication!
The best way to contact me:

catch me on poolside!
We are NOT your typical swimming school!
Our motto is
'Everyone is different - Everyone is equal'
At Swimwell we know that every swimmer is different. Some people progress quickly, others need time to build confidence - and both are perfectly okay. Our teaching adapts to each swimmer so they can progress at a pace that feels right for them.
Many swim schools only move swimmers at the end of a term.
We continually assess swimmers and, when they’re ready, they move up - no waiting for a new term.
We focus on learning through exploration and discovery rather than rigid drills. This helps swimmers develop real water confidence and a genuine love of being in the pool.
Most importantly, we believe swimming is a life skill — not just a set of badges. Our aim is to help swimmers develop confidence, technique and fitness that will stay with them for life, plus a healthy respect for the water.
