# Lee Read Swim School UK
Lee Read Swim School UK is a private swimming instruction business located in Kendal, Lancashire, offering lessons for children and adults of all abilities. Founded and led by Lee Read, an instructor with over 30 years of teaching experience, the school operates from a purpose-built pool designed specifically for swimming tuition rather than public leisure use.
The business serves families seeking swimming lessons in a calm, controlled environment away from the distractions and pressures of busy public pools. They cater to everyone from infants starting water confidence with parents through to adults seeking personalised instruction at any stage of life.
What sets Lee Read Swim School UK apart is their philosophy centred on supportive, unhurried progression. Rather than rushing learners through qualifications, they prioritise building genuine confidence, mastering efficient technique and developing long-term water competence. The private, purpose-built facility creates a welcoming atmosphere where swimmers feel secure, whilst consistency with a single experienced instructor fosters trust and familiarity that supports learning.
The school received national media recognition when featured on ITV News in 2022 as part of a broader discussion about declining public swimming facilities across the UK. Customer testimonials highlight Lee's exceptional ability to work with nervous swimmers—including those initially afraid of water—transforming anxiety into genuine enjoyment and measurable progress within just a few lessons.
