Founded on a deep passion for the sport, Edge is a small independent swim school committed to helping swimmers of all ages build the skills and confidence they need to thrive in the water. With a team of experienced and enthusiastic teacher, we provide high-quality swimming lessons for all ages across Surrey and Hampshire.

With over 30 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 with his family, on the pitch with Alton Hockey Club or on a mountain biking trail.

Our Swim Team play a vital role at Edge Swim School, both in the pool and behind the scenes. We are proud of each member of our enthusiastic swim team all of whom are qualified and experienced – and most of whom have a lifelong love of sport and swimming.  Our team bring energy, structure, and compassion to every class. Their focus is on helping swimmers progress while promoting water safety as a life skill.
