Expert coaching,
minutes from Radlett.

Radlett sits almost on the doorstep of our main base. Herts Swim Coach works with swimmers from Radlett, Shenley, Aldenham, Letchmore Heath and the WD7 villages, coaching at The Venue Leisure Centre in neighbouring Borehamwood — a short run down Watling Street and one of the best-equipped pools in the area.

Radlett has plenty of strong recreational and club swimmers but no large public pool of its own, so most serious swimmers already travel a few minutes to Borehamwood, Bushey or Watford to train. That makes The Venue’s 25-metre, eight-lane pool the natural home for focused, coached sessions close to home.

We hire lanes directly, so your coach runs an uninterrupted session rather than working around a public swim. Every coach in the network is fully accredited — Swim England, ASA or STA Level 2 minimum — and DBS-checked. Your first session is an assessment: your coach watches you swim, sets the technical priorities, and builds a plan from there.

Whether you’re a triathlete training out of the Radlett and Shenley lanes, a masters swimmer, or an adult improver who wants real technique work rather than just more lengths, you get a dedicated coaching environment a few minutes from home.

The Venue is an easy hop from Radlett and the surrounding villages — most are within 15 minutes.

Radlett itself is a small village without a large public pool, so its swimmers naturally look to the clubs and centres just around it. The nearest serious training water is at The Venue in Borehamwood, with Bushey Grove and the Watford pools a little further west, and the competitive scene of Potters Bar Swimming Club and the Borehamwood-based squads close by. Plenty of Radlett, Shenley and Aldenham swimmers already train recreationally at local gym and hotel pools; coached lane time at The Venue is the logical step up when you want real technique work rather than just more lengths. We also coach from Bushey for swimmers on the west side of the village.
