About Us

Coral Magson started the swim school in the 1980s and for many years developed the school basing her lessons on teaching children to swim confidently with excellent strokework. 

 

She worked closely with a few trusted teachers to build the swim school to what it is today one of the the largest private swim schools in York.

With a reputation that is second to none, the Coral Magson Swim School has further developed since Corals death in 2009 adding additional times. Her daughter Tracy runs the administration and Heather Feetenby, who worked with Coral for many years runs the pool side.

Our swimming instructors are all fully qualified and CRB checked. Our lessons are covered by comprehensive insurance and our pools undergo regular safety and water quality tests and inspections.

Our Heritage

Coral Magson York

Coral Magson started the swim school in 1980s and for many years developed the school basing her lessons on the ASA principles teaching children to enjoy swimming and gain confidence in the water.

 

We focus on getting the strokes correct, creating a fun and challenging environment and developing the children’s confidence in water as they progress from absolute beginners to taking their Bronze, Silver and Gold medals. For many years she worked with a select number of highly qualified teachers and since Corals death in 2009, the swim school has continued this ethos.

Heather Feetenby, who worked with Coral for many years, and is a highly qualified and experience teacher, works with both swim schools and manages the pool side, whilst Corals daughter Tracy Robinson manages the administration and handles the new swimmers and enquiries.
