Mark is a brilliant swim instructor and I can't recommend him enough! He is supper skilled yet humble, very professional, disciplined, communicative, super creative(when it comes to following up on stuff or alternatives to a specific technique) and kind. My experience with water hasn't been the best, yet in only 3 sessions/3h, with Mark's help I have learned to float, breath under water, gracefully get out of the pool and more. Even attempt the backstroke. And I am/was(at the time) a complete beginner. All of this are thinks I've dreamed of and now I can actually do. Thank you!

I recently had the pleasure of taking swimming lessons with Mark Trude, and it was an outstanding experience. Mark's caring and funny approach made every lesson enjoyable and engaging. His well-structured plans and constant feedback were instrumental in improving my technique and boosting my confidence. If you're looking for an exceptional swimming instructor, Mark Trude is the one!

I cannot recommend Mark’s services enough. Not only has he instilled in me the confidence to swim again that I believed was once lost but he also places real emphasis on learning the skill of swimming, broken down in an enjoyable lesson that will provide the feel-good high you need to continue your day. I am really enjoying my adult swimming lessons, Mark makes me feel at ease in my journey to becoming completely swim-confident.

Mark is the best teacher I've ever had in any sport. He's extremely knowledgeable and able to simply explain even the most technical concepts. He's also very engaging and entertaining. The classes are always fun and I look forward to them each time.
Most importantly though, I can see the progress after each session. It's really incredible how a few weeks ago I couldn't swim, was afraid of water and as an adult thought I'd never be able to learn. Now I can swim and I'm confident in water. Thank you Mark!!

Mark is such a wonderful teacher, focusing exactly on what you need and want and adapting easily to your level and goals. He gives very useful advice and carefully prepares the lesson beforehand so you can get the most out of it. I have made tremendous progress in my technique after a few lessons, especially compared to the several years of group classes I took as a child. He is also very encouraging and nice to be around, I am always looking forward to my swimming lesson.

Over the years I have tried a few different swimming lessons as an adult, some one-to-one lessons, and some group lessons. However my LearnToSwim lesson with Mark was the most recent and it was the best by far!
Mark was kind, considerate, and encouraging. He was very understanding about how anxious I was in the water. I am neurodivergent and struggle with new people, especially when I am already feeling anxious and Mark was great at putting me at ease.
During my lesson Mark helped me understand breathing techniques, what the angle of my neck should be in the water and how to stand up in the water in an easy and controlled manner when I have finished swimming all in one lesson.
The only reason I haven’t continued lessons with Mark is because I moved 200 miles away, however if he ever ends up nearby I will definitely ask him for more lessons! I wish I could transport him here for lessons!
I recommend doing one of Mark’s intro lessons to anyone thinking about swimming lessons, it is well worth it and you won’t want to stop after the intro lesson with him!
All the best to anyone trying to learn to swim as an adult, I know how daunting it can be, but it is also incredibly enjoyable, you can do it and Mark will help A LOT! 😊

Mark is an EXCELLENT swim coach.
I had tried to self learn to swim using YouTube videos and trial and error before signing up to lessons with Mark and my swimming has come along leaps and bounds.
His attention to detail and understanding of the challenges of you as a client is second to none.
I would thoroughly recommend his swim coaching!

Mark is an amazing tutor. Initially, my purpose was to learn swimming to be able to survive on beach holidays. However, upon completion of the first few lessons, I started enjoying swimming. Mark’s patience and interesting ways to teach swimming make me look forward to my swim class every week.

Mark's a fantastic teacher - the explanations and demonstrations of breathing and swim strokes have been so helpful - my technique and confidence has really improved with his help - thank you Mark - really look forward to learning more soon

Mark is a very good instructor. He was able to help us learn several swimming techniques in our first two sessions. We are still taking sessions with him and we are loving it! Great job Mark!

I started taking swimming lessons with Mark for a month now. As a pure beginner, I was nervous about getting into the water, but Mark's patient and easily understandable teaching style quickly put me at ease. He explains every step clearly and prepares the equipment we need for the lessons. Mark is a very polite and encouraging person, always offering positive feedback to help me improve.

The swimming pool is clean and well-maintained. We have a private lane that allows us to focus completely without distractions.

I now feel confident in the water and look forward to continuing my swimming lessons with Mark. I would highly recommend Learn to Swim to anyone looking for a skilled and supportive swimming instructor.

I am a totally beginner of swimming and I very enjoy the lesson with Mark. In his lesson, I has become more confident. Obviously, Mark is the best swimming tutor I have seen!!!

I’m doing some pre triathlon swim training with Mark, he is showing me elements to swimming that I had never known or understood enabling me to drastically improve my technique in preparation for the events.

Mark is simply a brilliant teacher. He has been excellent at teaching me how to improve my swimming while making it very interesting — I never thought swimming could be that interesting! —and enjoyable. I came to him to learn how to properly swim freestyle and backstroke and I can already see significant improvements after only a few sessions. Would 100% recommend.

Mark is a knowledgeable, enthusiastic and patient swimming coach. I have now had a few sessions, and each of them has been structured and paced very well. Training takes place at Fitness First near London Bridge. The pool has a dedicated lane for lessons, which is great during peak times. It is very easy to book a regular or a one-off session via the app.

As a pure beginner swimmer, Mark is an excellent instructor. Very calm and patient and gives clear guidance, instructions and demonstrations.
I’m front crawling in a few weeks, my confidence in the water is at an all time high. Would a 100% recommend !!!!
Money very well spent !!!

‘Learn to Swim’ is a fantastic place for adults to learn how to swim or improve their swimming skills. The facilities there are great and the price is very reasonable!!

Particularly I have to say Mark is an incredible instructor, he has great knowledge of swimming ,and also very good at teaching swimming at a understandable and easy way! He always teaching me with great patience, and always standby for help!

I didn’t know how to swim at all at the beginning, and I wasn’t confident enough to swim, but Mark teaching me in a very start way, made me feel very confident to swim, and he always encourage me. I learned how to swim very fast! I can’t believe!

Mark is an exceptional swimming instructor who is passionate about teaching people to swim. His patience, understanding, and dedication to his students make him a truly outstanding teacher, and his positive attitude and effective teaching methods ensure that his students always leave the pool feeling accomplished and confident.

I highly recommend Mark as a swimming teacher. I swim regularly but never had any advice on my technique and Mark has taught me a lot about the basics and different concepts to help me improve. We cover a lot in each session, using a lot of props which really help. Mark takes videos which we review together and it is really valuable to be able to watch yourself. And finally Mark is a very friendly person, helping you relax and have fun!

Mark is a very friendly and empathetic coach. He has a great way of breaking down and communicating swimming technique, and his sessions are very structured and targeted at specific areas for improvement that he identifies (at least for me). Highly recommended, no doubt.
