The Pool

Three Lanes, And A Hydrotherapy Pool

Valencia Tower has a 20-metre, 3-lane indoor pool with a hydrotherapy pool, set in a five-star managed leisure suite with resident gym instructors. It is for residents and their households — there is no club membership to buy and no outside booking system to work around, which is exactly why lessons here are straightforward once the building has approved the coach.

Getting Started

Approved, Then Straight In The Water

We coach residents at Valencia Tower, in the 20-metre, 3-lane pool.

Sessions are booked around the building’s quiet hours, the coach arrives with every piece of equipment needed, and your concierge already holds our documents on file.

SwimFitz also coaches at private pools in houses across London.

Emergency procedure, agreed with your concierge
Named coach — the same face at the desk each week

In The Water

What A Session Looks Like

Your coach signs in at the desk a few minutes early and is on the poolside when your swimmer arrives, so the session starts in the water rather than in a changing room. Lessons run 30 or 60 minutes depending on age and stamina, and the 20-metre, 3-lane length means there is enough water for continuous swimming without a turn every few strokes.

Because it is the same pool every week, at the same temperature, with the same walls to push off, progress is quicker than it tends to be for swimmers moving between public pools. Familiarity does a lot of the work, particularly for nervous swimmers and young children.

Every lesson includes

One-to-one coaching for the full session
All equipment brought in and taken away again
A verbal progress update before your coach leaves
Session and awards logged in the SwimFitz app
No subscription, no contract
Free to cancel or move with 48 hours’ notice

How It Works

Four Steps

01

Tell Us Your Building

Enquire and say you are a resident at Valencia Tower. We confirm coverage and availability, usually within 24 hours.

02

We Clear It With Management

Insurance, enhanced DBS, qualifications and a risk assessment for your pool go to the concierge or managing agent.

03

Pick A Quiet Slot

We book the hours the leisure floor is least used, so no other resident is sharing the water with a lesson.

04

Your Coach Arrives Equipped

Everything for the session comes with them and leaves with them. Progress is logged in the SwimFitz app after every lesson.

Beyond The Pool

One Vetted Provider

Pilates and personal training

The same vetted-coach arrangement covers the studio as well as the pool.

Your own pool, elsewhere

Many residents here also have a house with a pool. The same coach travels, and it is the same record in the app either way.

Questions

Valencia Tower, Specifically

The residents’ pool is a 20-metre, 3-lane indoor pool with a hydrotherapy pool. Long enough for full-length stroke work as well as beginners.
Babies from six months with a parent in the water, children from three, teenagers, and adults at every level including complete beginners. Each session is one-to-one and planned around the swimmer, not a class.
Yes, and we handle it. Most managing agents keep a list of approved contractors; we send our public liability insurance, enhanced DBS certificates, coaching qualifications and a pool-specific risk assessment to Valencia Tower’s management, and start once they confirm.
Everything for the lesson comes with the coach — woggles, floats, weights, goggles, toys for the younger children. Nothing is left behind and nothing is stored in the building. The leisure floor only needs to be open and the water at its usual temperature.
Whenever the pool is quietest, which in most buildings means mid-morning or early afternoon on weekdays. We deliberately avoid the before-work and after-work peaks so other residents are not sharing the water with a lesson.
Only where the building’s own guest rules allow it, which varies and is the concierge’s call rather than ours. Where guests are permitted we can teach siblings or two families together; otherwise every session is one-to-one with a resident.
