My name is Chris Buckley I am a level 2 swim teacher, pool responder and am DBS checked.

I started my swimming teaching career in 2011. I have also worked in a special educational needs school as a teaching assistant and covering swimming teacher. Here, I taught children with a variety of needs in group swimming lessons and 1-2-1.

In 2015 I began teaching at an independent school where I taught private 1-2-1 lessons, group lessons for up to 15 children, school swimming lessons and the swim team. In October 2017 the dream of setting up my own swim school became a reality and Cygnet Swimming Lessons began.

Cygnet Swimming now has over 130 swimmers and I hope to continue to grow in numbers.

I am extremely passionate about swimming and water confidence. If I am not teaching other people's’ children to swim then you will find me in the water with my own son with just as much energy and enthusiasm!

Cygnet Swimming Lessons would not be running today without the support from all of the parents. Their recommendations have meant that I can come into work each day loving what I do.
