About Mark Young – Swim Teach

Hi, I'm Mark Young

Welcome to Swim Teach — my trusted resource for swimmers and teachers of all abilities.

I'm an experienced ASA-qualified swimming instructor (now Swim England) with over 30 years of hands-on teaching experience. My journey isn't just about teaching swimming — it's about teaching from the heart and getting a genuine buzz out of helping swimmers and teachers alike. Over three decades I've worked with children and adults at every level, helping people overcome aquatic fears, build real confidence, and achieve their own personal swimming success.

The Swim Teach Story

My passion for teaching began thirty years ago when my own swimming instructor encouraged me to attend an official ASA course and become a certified instructor. What started as a career quickly became a mission: making swimming achievable and enjoyable for everyone. From frightened beginners to those seeking mastery over their strokes, I've seen and solved almost every swimming challenge imaginable — and that wealth of experience is what inspired me to create Swim Teach.

Is This For You?

I designed Swim Teach with teachers, beginners, and parents in mind. Whether you're a swimming teacher looking to enhance your lessons, a novice or intermediate swimmer aiming for advancement, or a parent who wants to teach your child to swim yourself — there's something here for you.

Why Trust Me?

Trust isn't earned overnight. It's built through consistent, reliable guidance and proven results. My extensive real-world teaching experience underpins every resource I create. You won't find tricks or secrets here — just practical, tried-and-tested solutions that actually work in the pool.

Resources Built From Real Experience

Every toolkit, lesson plan, and teaching phrase at Swim Teach comes directly from poolside experience. Browse the full range below:

Thanks for being here. I hope Swim Teach helps you — or the swimmers you teach — go further in the water.
