Meet Coach Musa
With over 15 years of experience teaching swimmers of all ages and abilities, Musa brings a calm, instinctive presence to every lesson. His approach is deeply personal - shaped by the belief that no two swimmers learn in quite the same way.

A Life Shaped by Water
Raised on the island of Lamu, off the coast of Kenya, swimming came as naturally to him as walking. A childhood spent in freedom, movement, and play now inspires the way he teaches - with lightness, trust, and ease at the centre.
A Fluid Foundation
Before specialising in swimming, Musa explored movement through yoga, dance, music, and language. This foundation gives him a unique sense of rhythm, presence, and communication - qualities that shape every lesson in and out of the water.
Trusted by Families Across London
His reputation has led him to train other instructors across London, but it's his gentle, confident work with families that truly stands out. Among many of the parents he's supported, Musa is affectionately known as "The Baby Whisperer."
*****
Musa taught my daughter when she was just 6 and really nervous around water. Now she can’t wait to get in the pool. He’s brilliant with kids — calm, friendly, and really encouraging.
*****
I’d put off learning to swim for years but finally gave it a go with Musa. Honestly wish I’d done it sooner. He made it feel easy and natural — no pressure, just progress.
*****
We booked Musa for private family lessons while away on holiday. It was one of the best decisions — super flexible and fun, and the kids got loads from it. Would definitely book again.

A Gentle, Hands-On Approach
Lessons are often delivered side-by-side in the water, offering hands-on guidance that builds confidence, connection, and calm. Progress unfolds naturally - sometimes without the swimmer even noticing.
If you're looking for someone who brings depth, care, and a natural feel to the way swimming is taught - without pressure or formality - Musa is the guide you're looking for.
