Excellent course! Highly recommended to anyone who’s thinking about cold water dipping. It gives you all the info you need and all the safety tips to support you on your journey. Ian is brilliant and so knowledgeable
Have had both private swimming lessons with Ian and been to his introduction to outdoor swimming session. Everything is well delivered and really enjoyable. I’d highly recommend both
Great experience all round. Very informative, relaxed and comfortable session. I felt safe and confident in a situation that I was actually really nervous about as it is totally out of my comfort zone. I will definitely continue cold water dips/swimming because of how good the instructor/s were. Amazing feeling afterwards. Thank you so much for taking the time to ensure that I did have a good experience, when I was quite nervous and worried about my balance issues.
My son has just completed his level 2&3 Swim England Open Water certification! This was an amazing experience…the course was well executed it was fun and engaging! The swim coach was a very experienced coach and attentive to detail. I would definitely recommend this course and Ian is brilliant with engaging with kids and adults alike! Thank you so much for giving our son this opportunity.
Went for an open water swim introduction session with Ian. Really friendly supportive team. Great explanations/safety briefing followed by an opportunity to get in the water. No rush, encouraged to take our time and supported at each step. Will definitely be returning, thank you.
Ian is a fantastic teacher! Our 3yr old granddaughter has been having lessons for a while now and it’s great to see her confidence improving each week. He’s good at making fun games that are actually teaching important technique and skills. She trusts him completely which is really important for building up the confidence in the water.
I stumbled upon Ian by accident. A local elite triathlon coach recommended him as he has done for a number of athletes he oversees. Ian has vast experience in competitive swimming and water polo but more important than this he has genuine talent as a teacher and coach. He has shown great interest in my goals and only after a short period of time has massively improved my freestyle technique increasing both speed and efficiency of effort. He spends a great deal of time carefully analysing my technique and breaking down my imperfections and correcting them in an easy to understand way enabling me to further improve in my training swim sessions. He has not taught my young 3 year old son yet but I take him in the pool with me prior to my teaching session and he has interacted and communicated with him in such a way that I can tell he is also talented at engaging with youngsters. I recommend Ian and Kuotos swimming to anyone young or old wishing to either learn to swim from scratch or improve and develop as a swimmer
My journey started with lessons for myself (middle aged mum) with Ian at Stone House Hotel. I just wanted to be a better swimmer, Ian took on board what i wanted to achieve and this is what we work towards. Ian also now teaches my 2 children age 11 and 4. First time and my youngest swam unaided. You can tell Ian has his own children from the way he engages with them and makes lessons enjoyable. The hotel is quiet and friendly with ample free parking.
Ian has been fantastic with my 9year old twins on their swimming technique and stamina, he’s fun, engaging and educational - clearly explaining what is required. Having been to other swim schools in the area, the twins have learnt more and developed a stronger stroke in weeks with Ian than in the years with others. No hesitation in recommending Kuotos swim.
