Performance coaching · Bushey

Expert coaching,
west Hertfordshire.

Performance coaching for Bushey swimmers — 1-to-1, squad and video analysis for juniors and adults, at The Venue, Borehamwood, 8 minutes away.

Herts Swim Coach coaches swimmers from Bushey, Watford, Oxhey, South Oxhey, Rickmansworth and the wider west Hertfordshire corridor. Sessions currently run at The Venue, Borehamwood, about 8 minutes' drive from Bushey.

We hire lanes directly so coaches can run focused, uninterrupted sessions. Whether you're training for a triathlon, sharpening your technique, or returning to serious swimming — you get a dedicated coaching environment, not a public lane share.

Every coach in our network is fully accredited — Swim England, ASA or STA Level 2 minimum — and DBS-checked before they join. Your first session is an assessment: your coach watches you swim, identifies the key technical priorities, and builds a coaching plan from there. Progress is measurable and deliberate, not just more mileage.

The Venue has parking on site, which makes a difference when you're arriving for a 6am session. Its 25-metre pool gives coaches room to work with proper technique sets — not the cramped conditions of a busy public swim. It's the right environment for training that actually moves the needle.
