We Come to You

Covering Cheltenham & the Regency Quarters

SwimFitz is opening across Cheltenham — Montpellier, Lansdown, the Park, Pittville and Tivoli — and out to Charlton Kings, Prestbury and Leckhampton. If you have a private pool, indoor or outdoor, a vetted local coach can come to you.

Behind Cheltenham's Regency facades and in the larger Charlton Kings and Prestbury houses sit a surprising number of private pools, indoor and garden. In a town built around its colleges, its festivals and its racecourse, bespoke one-to-one coaching at home is entirely in keeping.

Cheltenham in Depth

Cheltenham
In Detail.

Cheltenham and the GL50 catchment is the most established centre of private wealth in Gloucestershire — the Regency terraces of Montpellier, Lansdown and the Park, the villas of Pittville and Tivoli, and the larger houses of Charlton Kings and Prestbury. Many hold indoor or garden pools, and the town's deep tradition of private education makes in-home one-to-one coaching a natural fit as SwimFitz opens across the Cotswolds.

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 Gloucestershire is hand-picked and held to the same standard Brian set in London: Enhanced DBS, recognised teaching qualifications, first-aid certified and fully insured.

You get a single, accountable point of contact and a coach matched to your family and your pool — never an anonymous name from a directory. As our network grows, that standard does not move.

What Clients Say

Trusted Across the Country.

“My daughter went from terrified of water to swimming confidently in just 8 lessons. Having a coach come to our pool made all the difference — no distractions, total focus. We can't recommend it highly enough.”

— Verified Google Review

“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.”
