# Aqua Vie - Swimming Instruction with the Alexander Technique
Aqua Vie is a family-run swimming school operating since 2004, founded by sisters Jan Jordan and Karen Logan. Based in Bushey, Hertfordshire, with additional locations in Chesham and across Leicestershire and London, the business specialises in teaching swimming to babies, children and adults using techniques grounded in the Alexander Technique.
What sets Aqua Vie apart is their distinctive methodology. Rather than traditional swimming instruction, they integrate the Alexander Technique's principles of intelligent movement and postural awareness into their teaching. This approach emphasises relaxation, proper body mechanics and well-being, making it particularly appealing to adults frustrated by conventional lessons and parents seeking a calm, nurturing introduction to water for their children.
The business operates exclusively from warm, private pools not open to the public, ensuring small group lessons in controlled environments. This commitment to privacy and comfort extends to their flexible offering of one-to-one tuition on request, allowing personalised attention regardless of age or ability.
Aqua Vie caters to diverse age groups: infants beginning their aquatic journey, children developing confidence and competence in water, and adults seeking alternative approaches to swimming instruction. Classes run on Sundays in both Bushey and Chesham, with new baby and children's classes regularly opening. Their philosophy centres on creating a fun, relaxed learning environment where technique and well-being develop together.
