We Come to You

Now Reaching Cambridge

SwimFitz is opening across Cambridge — Newnham, Trumpington, Chesterton and Cherry Hinton — and out to the village belt of Girton, Histon, Fulbourn and Great Shelford. If you have a private pool, a vetted local coach can come to you.

Cambridge's academic, biotech and Science Park community is time-poor and values measurable results — structured sessions, stroke analysis and written progress, delivered at home rather than at a leisure centre across town. As we build our local network, registering your interest secures early access.

Coaches You Can Trust

A Vetted Network, Not a Stranger.

SwimFitz is a vetted national network founded by Brian FitzGerald, who has coached swimmers for more than 30 years. Every coach we place in Cambridgeshire is hand-picked and held to the same standard Brian set in London: Enhanced DBS, recognised teaching qualifications, first-aid certified and fully insured.

“As an adult who never learned to swim properly, I was nervous about starting. My coach was patient, professional and entirely effective. Within 6 sessions I was swimming lengths confidently — results I had honestly stopped believing were possible.”
