I highly recommend Turner Swim. I have gone from only being able to do 17m to now 300m in crawl comfortably. Joshua has provided a space where I feel comfortable and supported whilst trying to continuously improve my technique. I also feel he has given clear direction when I need to make subtle adjustments to either breathing position or alignment. This has resulted in me enjoying my swims more as I’m swimming more efficiently and feel less tired as a result. I am now on the stroke improver course with Joshua and look forward to seeing the results.

If you want to swim Turner Swim is the place to learn. Honestly I had no idea how to swim back in November 2019 but thanks to Turner Swim I'm able to swim front, back and breast stroke. My instructors were Lindsay and David and they are seriously the best instructors ever!!! Whenever I was doubting myself and wanting to give up they never gave up on me and kept encouraging me. They worked really hard in finding the best methods in teaching me. I wouldn't have done it without them. I 100% recommend Turner Swim if you're seriously considering how to swim or wanting to improve your techniques and

I cannot recommend Turner Swim highly enough. I took their 5 hour programme to move from head-up breast stroke to front crawl. It is the first time I've had one-to-one instruction and while it might initially seem expensive, the amount of improvement packed into each hour session is totally worth it. Joshua was my instructor and he could spot things that just would never have occurred to me on my own and would have been missed in a group session. If you have a specific goal, I can't think of a more effective way of achieving it. I'll definitely be back for their open swimming course later on in

Taught to swim poorly at school I presented my requirement to David: I wish to master every stroke.
I could perform a sort of breast stroke and front crawl (head out of water) but after an hour my neck ached and I saw others stream past me in the pool.
David started by outlining the Turner Swim curriculum which all their instructors are taught. This means if David gets hit by a bus another instructor can seamlessly continue my lessons. Great for me, less so for David.
I was taught front crawl in five lessons and I am now refining the stroke.
Each hour is a perfect balance between direction

I've been taking lessons at Turner Swim for two months now and I've noticed a huge improvement in my breathing, technique and rhythm. David and Toby are both very knowledgeable and friendly instructors. Their explanations are clear and they're both very good at spotting small tweaks I need to make in my technique. As a result, I'm not only able to swim farther but also move more smoothly and confidently through the water. I'd definitely recommend either instructor and Turner Swim! It has been a very enjoyable experience.

I recently completed Turner Swim's Learn to Swim Programme (10h) with David at The Dilly. When I started I could hardly stay afloat, now I can swim on my back and front crawl.
David is an amazing teacher! He is very clear, patient and always happy to answer any questions. David is very professional and friendly, his positive demeanour will put even the most nervous swimmer at ease.
I would highly recommend Turner Swim (and David in particular) to anyone looking to learn to swim!

Learning to swim as an adult can always feel a little embarrassing, however i took the plunge and signed up for lessons with Turner Swim. My instructor was David who operates from the Dilly Hotel in Central London, just near Piccadilly Circus. David is an excellent instructor and makes you feel comfortable from the very beginning. He is very passionate about his role, he's non-judgmental, extremely patient and his goal was to have me swimming correctly in the shortest time possible. My ability before i started the first lesson was to swim about a length of the pool before passing out with exhaustion
