Performance coaching · Potters Bar

Coached swimming,
close to Potters Bar.

Potters Bar swimmers already have a connection to our base. Herts Swim Coach works with swimmers from Potters Bar, Brookmans Park, Cuffley, South Mimms and Little Heath, coaching at The Venue Leisure Centre in Borehamwood — a venue Potters Bar’s own club swimmers know well, around fourteen minutes down the A1(M).

The town is well served for club swimming through Potters Bar Swimming Club, which trains both locally and at The Venue itself. What a busy club night can’t always give you is individual technical attention — and that is exactly the gap our lane-hire coaching fills, with a coach focused on your stroke alone.

Every coach in the network is fully accredited — Swim England, ASA or STA Level 2 minimum — and DBS-checked. Your first session is a full assessment: your coach watches you swim, identifies the priorities, and builds a plan around them. You train in a hired lane, not a shared public swim.

Whether you’re a club swimmer wanting to sharpen technique, a triathlete building an efficient freestyle, or a masters or adult swimmer returning to structured training, Potters Bar swimmers get a dedicated coaching environment a short drive from home.

Who travels here

Swimmers come from
Potters Bar and around

The Venue is a short hop down the A1(M) from Potters Bar and its neighbouring villages — most within 20 minutes.

Potters Bar has a strong swimming base of its own. Potters Bar Swimming Club — with around 350 members and a well-regarded masters section that has produced national and world masters medallists — trains at Furzefield Leisure Centre in the town and at The Venue in Borehamwood, so many local swimmers already make the short trip our coaching is built around. A busy club night is brilliant for fitness, squad racing and team spirit, but it can’t give every swimmer individual attention on their stroke. That’s the gap we fill: one-to-one technical coaching and video analysis that sit neatly alongside club or fitness swimming for Potters Bar, Brookmans Park and Cuffley swimmers.
