Our Story

Founded on a deep passion for the sport, Edge Swim is committed to helping swimmers of all ages build the skills and confidence they need to thrive in the water.

With the support of our experienced and enthusiastic team, we provide high-quality swimming lessons for children aged 3½ and above, as well as adults, across Surrey and Hampshire.

With over 20 years’ experience in teaching and coaching, Andy has built a career around sport, education, and water safety. He holds a degree in Sports Science and Leisure Management, alongside a PGCE in Secondary Physical Education, and has been recognised for his work as an ‘outstanding’ educator and mentor.

Andy began his journey in the leisure industry as a lifeguard and swim teacher, later becoming a leader in high-quality PE instruction and CPD delivery. He spent his formative swimming years with Farnham Swimming Club, and also competed in hockey and water skiing — the latter taking him to the United States to train and coach.

Today, Andy combines his passion for sport with his commitment to coaching others. When he’s not teaching, you’ll likely find him on the pitch with Alton Hockey Club, on a mountain biking trail, or back on the water, coaching water skiing.

Hollie plays a vital role at Edge Swim School, both in the pool and behind the scenes. As our Swim Coordinator, she not only delivers engaging lessons but also manages lesson scheduling, session planning, and the smooth running of our Saturday programme at All Hallows.

With over five years’ experience as a swim instructor and a lifelong love of sport, Hollie brings energy, structure, and compassion to every class. Her focus is always on helping swimmers progress while promoting water safety as a life skill.

Outside of work, Hollie stays active with netball and enjoys spending quality time with friends and family. She strongly believes that participation in sport is essential for all ages, and she encourages everyone to find an activity they enjoy.
