We Come to You

Covering Chichester & the Harbour

SwimFitz is opening across Chichester — the Pallants, Summersdale and the city centre — and out to Chichester Harbour, Bosham and the Goodwood estate. If you have a private pool, indoor or outdoor, a vetted local coach can come to you.

Chichester's cathedral city character sits alongside one of the South Coast's most sailing-focused harbours and the Goodwood estate just beyond — a combination of city, coast and country-estate wealth. In-home coaching suits families who value privacy over a public pool changing room.

Chichester in Depth

Chichester
In Detail.

Chichester — a cathedral city on the West Sussex coast, with Chichester Harbour's sailing communities and the Goodwood estate close by — combines historic city wealth with a strong country-estate and coastal tradition. Many of the substantial homes around Bosham, the Harbour and the South Downs hold a private pool, and in-home one-to-one coaching suits a region that already values discretion and quality, as SwimFitz opens across West Sussex.

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

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.”
