👶 Meet Jamie Mason, MA BEd Hons:
Your Trusted Private Swimming Coach for Babies and Toddlers

👩‍🏫 A Lifelong Educator with a Deep Care for Children

Hello, I’m Jamie Mason, a qualified private swimming coach with over 40 years’ experience working with children. Having spent my career as a teacher and headmistress in Central London and abroad, with a specialisation in early years education and child development.

Despite retiring from formal teaching — and a proud grandmother — I’ve returned to what I love most: helping babies and toddlers grow in confidence, skill, and safety through the joy of swimming.

💧 Why Private Swimming Lessons for Babies Matter

It is well established that, Infants and toddlers absorb water-based learning quickly, building essential water safety and movement skills while strengthening brain-body connection. As a matter of fact, research shows that the earlier a child is introduced to water, the better.

I work with babies and toddlers from birth up to 4 years, including siblings, and tailor each lesson to the child’s pace, comfort, and personality.

🏡 Lessons in Your Own Private Pool

Firstly, All lessons take place in private swimming pools provided by parents — in London, Greater London, or abroad. I travel to you, and I do my best to offer convenient times that fit around your family’s routine.

Secondly, My quiet, one-to-one sessions create a calm and secure environment. Consequently, There are no noisy changing rooms, no distractions, and no pressure — just safe, personalised learning that’s fun and nurturing.

🛫 Additionally, If you are planning a family holiday? I also offer intensive daily coaching abroad, ideal for families who want to build water confidence in a relaxed holiday setting.

💕 A Unique Approach to Baby Swimming Coaching

What makes me different? A lifelong commitment to children’s wellbeing coupled with my qualifications with the Swimming Teacher’s Association (STA) and the Institute of Swimming, along with my insight into how little ones learn, and the warm grandmotherly care I bring to every session.
