Recently started my swimming journey and I must say Stefano does really know what he is doing and the best at it!i recently hit a milestone and “Not in a million years I’d think I can swim a length of a lane without stopping!” Can’t wait for my future lessons and see my progress!

Stefano is an incredible swimming instructor and I’d highly recommend him, whatever your level of swimming – whether you’re a beginner or wasn’t to improve your technique. He is incredibly patient and encouraging. He also helped me get over my (irrational) fear of turning my head in the water. Highly recommend!

I couldn’t recommend Stefano as a swimming instructor more: I started my journey in swimming as an adult at 35, with great fear of water and 0 swimming knowledge with a different swimming academy. I have made some progress with that venue however it wasn’t until i started my classes with Stefano that I finally started to feel more at ease in the water and slowly but securely, swim. Stefano’s techniques and knowledge of the psychology behind the fear in… read more

I decided to take some lessons to learn front crawl, already able to swim but only head up breast stroke. Stefano was fantastic, very encouraging and really good at explaining. I feel I have some good building blocks to continue to practice with and very glad I did the sessions – highly recommended

I started swimming lessons at the tender age of 55 just after this years mothers day in April. Stefano was my instructor who was amazing and taught me how to swim just as he promised in 10lessons. His patience and clarity on instruction taught me how to coordinate breathing with my movements and gain confidence in keeping my head below the surface level of water. Thank you Stefano for making me accomplish my childhood dream which I failed multiple… read more

Hands down the best investment I’ve made this year -I learned how to swim in less than five lessons and have truly never felt so at ease in water ever in my life. Felt so grateful and lucky to have come across the lovely instructor Stefano!!!

I wholeheartedly recommend my swimming personal trainer, Stefano. He created a safe, encouraging environment that helped me overcome a lifelong fear of swimming. His patience and expertise made all the difference as he worked at my pace, never pushing but always empowering. His approach restored trust in my body and confidence in myself. Today, I feel stronger in the water and more in control of my personal growth. Stefano is not just a swimming instructor — he is a trusted… read more

I just want to say a huge thank you to Stefano for teaching me how to swim! 🩵 When I first started, I had no experience at all, but thanks to his patience, encouragement, and clear guidance, I’ve made amazing progress. I recently passed my cabin crew swimming exam, and I’m so proud — I couldn’t have done it without him! Stefano is not only a fantastic instructor but also genuinely supportive, which made every lesson enjoyable and motivating. I truly… read more

I have been trying to learn to swim and overcome my fear of the water as an adult. Before Atomic Swimming, I tried various different venues and online videos to learn, and had limited success. In general I always used to feel tired within a few laps (especially with the front-crawl) and still had a deep fear of the water. Within a few sessions with Stefano I can now confidently swim continuous front-crawl laps for 45 minutes and have learnt to… read more

Stefano is an amazing coach! I can’t believe how much progress I’ve made within 20 lessons with him. He is very accommodating and understanding. I feel soo confident in the water now and proud of the techniques I’ve developed. I definitely recommend

Stefano listens to what it is you are after from the session and tailors the session to help you reach those targets

I would highly recommend Stefano as a personal trainer for his professionalism and caring coaching style. I specifically appreciated his ability to tailor workouts to my individual needs, helping me build confidence and improve my fitness levels. I have noted significant improvements in strength, posture, and overall well-being after only 10 sessions. Stefano’s motivational approach encouraged me to push my limits while ensuring a supportive environment, making sessions enjoyable and effective.

Really great swimming lesson experience with Stefano. I wanted to get my front crawl up to scratch for some small triathlons. Actually this involved re-learning almost every aspect of the stroke. Instead of beating the water to a foam while quickly running out of breath and getting exhausted, I now have moments where I’m really gliding through the water feeling as relaxed as if I were walking… only moments mind you – it’s a complex stroke and everything can be… read more

HERNIATED DISC / BACK PAIN sufferers: I was admitted to hospital for a week; unable to walk etc. due to a seriously herniated disc. To avoid surgery, I started physio (once I was able to stand unaided) and once I was able to walk for a few minutes, I started aqua rehabilitation with Stefano. 2 months in and I am now swimming front crawl! Thank you Stefano.

Stefano is a great instructor. I really enjoy my weekly session with him and can feel that I am making huge progress. He gives detailed feedback and lessons are tailored to your needs. Couldn’t recommend enough ! I used to hate water/swimning pool, and now I can’t wait for the next lesson.

In preparation for my triathlon I wanted to learn the proper technique of the front crawl. Not only am I now able to swim at least 1k without breaks and fatiguing, I‘ve also managed to improve my speed with the help of Stefano. The swimming sessions were always knowledgeable and enjoyable as Stefano always explained the reasoning behind a certain move which helped me get more in tune with my body snd gain a better feel for the water.

Due to an unfortunate event in my childhood I never learned to swim as a child as I was scared of the water. Stefano helped me overcome my phobia and now I can happily say I enjoy swimming head down even more than head up and I consider learning to swim as an adult my biggest ever achievement, all thanks to the knowledge and immeasurable patience of Stefano!

After years of avoiding any pool day/or water sports, I really wanted to overcome my fear of water and learn properly how to swim to enjoy my holidays to the fullest ! Stefano made this possible in just a few sessions and I’m finally discovering the joy of swimming and being in water He is a very patient teacher, that tailors the session to what you actually need and he explains very well every movement. I hesitated a lot between… read more

Stefano is a great swimming instructor. He has the ability to break down each stroke to its basic movement, so that no matter what your level is, you can immediately start making progress. He is a great guy and fun to work with. I wish I had stayed longer in London so that I could have worked with him longer. You will not be disapponted.

Stefano is an amazing coach, I had a few lessons starting as a beginner so far intending to have many more. He is very thorough on every technique when teaching, with only a few sessions I can already swim a little front and back. I would highly recommend Stefano.

I have recently completed a course of lessons with Stefano to improve my front crawl technique and it has to be one of the best decisions I have ever made. Stefano is a fantastic coach – kind, patient, supportive, very knowledgeable and very adept at structuring sessions to make you feel like you are constantly making progress and also having a lot of fun along the way. Stefano’s experience clearly shines through as he has a wealth of great drills,… read more

I can’t thank Stefano enough for helping me to overcome my fear of water. He has supported and guided me throughout this challenging journey from not being able to enter the swimming pool to now entering and swimming with confidence. My initial conversation with Stefano was very productive and comforting and after the first session I had a feeling that I had made a wise decision which motivated me to continue. His knowledge and communication is of the highest quality.… read more

I was never a confident swimmer and I always found myself purposely avoiding swimming in depths where I could not physically stand. I decided to overcome this fear of swimming in deeper depths so that I could enjoy swimming confidently in the sea and swimming pool especially socially with my friends. Stefano provided me with the techniques (from breathing to movement) to build up my skills and confidence. He supported and encouraged me throughout and was dedicated and focussed during… read more

They say that the best things in life are unexpected. As I reflect on my year long relationship with Stefano, it feels strange reminding myself that I only met him by chance at my local club. Since then, I’ve had several training sessions with him. I believe practice and perseverance are essential for success in any sport, but it manifests only when one truly fulfils their potential. Stefano is able to deliver precisely this during his sessions and I… read more

Stefano has been an incredibly wise and patient swimming teacher – especially for very nervous first timers. He understands your fears and learning style – and then is very methodical about finding ways to make you feel relaxed and progress you at a pace that works for you. I’ve gone from not being able to put my head underwater at all – to now gliding around on my front and back – and enjoying the water. … read more
