About Swimwell
Swimwell was established in 2014 by Julie Hand.
It began with Julie delivering lessons a couple hours a day in a small private pool.
Today, Swimwell has 15 members of staff and teach hundreds of children each and every week how to be a confident swimmer across Staffordshire.
Julie Hand
CEO & Founder of Swimwell
From being a competitive swimmer in her youth, Julie started out in leisure 26 years ago as a lifeguard and swimming teacher.
Swimwell was later established in 2014 after years of experience in the leisure industry. Julie now manages the swim school along with Swimwell Academy to qualify swimming teachers.
Her love of swimming passed on to her son, and Julie has spent years supporting him, taking him to training and competitions all over the country, and now Tom is part of the GB swim squad.
Julie always told her son to ‘swim well’ when dropping off at training which is where the name came from.

I cannot recommend Swimwell enough – in fact I have recommended to other friends who have subsequently joined and have reported an equally great experience
I have recommended Julie & the team to many families who have also joined.
Swimwell has catered for all of my children’s needs, with caring, fun and dedicated instructors. Thank you to Julie and the team for all of your support and patience!
