We Come To You

Covering Tetbury

SwimFitz covers Tetbury and the villages around it — Westonbirt, Leighterton, Beverston, Doughton, Chavenage, Shipton Moyne, Long Newnton and Didmarton — across GL8, and out to the GL9 edge at Didmarton.

This is estate country, and the pools reflect it: purpose-built pool houses in converted outbuildings, indoor complexes set away from the main house, and long-established outdoor pools in walled gardens. Several come with a tennis court alongside and a drive you could lose a car down. If you have water, we can almost certainly reach you.

Tetbury In Depth

What Teaching Here Is Actually Like

Tetbury is a working market town that happens to sit among some of the most substantial private houses in Gloucestershire. Westonbirt, Chavenage and Highgrove are all within a few miles of the market hall, and the estates between them have been quietly adding pool houses for forty years.

The pool is rarely near the house

It is in a converted stable block, a purpose-built pool house across the yard, or at the far end of a walled garden. Bring a dressing gown; the walk back is the coldest part of the lesson in February.

Discretion is not a nice-to-have

Households here usually prefer one named coach who knows the gate code, the dogs and where to park, rather than whoever is on the rota. You get the same face every week, and we do not discuss clients. Ever.

Plenty of these houses are part-time

Kemble is seven miles away and Paddington about seventy-five minutes from it, so a good number of Tetbury pools belong to households who are here some weeks and not others. We coach seven days a week, so we fit the lesson to whatever rhythm the house actually keeps.

Questions

Tetbury, Specifically

Yes — Westonbirt, Leighterton, Beverston, Doughton, Chavenage, Shipton Moyne, Long Newnton and out to Didmarton. Most of the pools in this area are in the villages rather than in the town.
It is the norm around here, not a problem. We shorten sessions in cold water, particularly for young children, and we would rather do twenty good minutes than a shivering forty. If your pool is heated and covered, we can teach year-round.
Yes. We coach seven days a week, mornings to evenings, so the lesson fits when the house is occupied rather than the other way round — weekday, weekend, or a run of consecutive days when you are down for a stretch.
Only if it is heated and covered, and even then we will be honest about whether it is worth it. From roughly November to March most unheated outdoor pools in GL8 are too cold for productive teaching, and we would sooner pause and pick up in spring.
Submit an enquiry and Brian usually replies within 24 hours with a first date. Short notice is fine, and we are used to working around a house that is only occupied part of the week.
