Taha Hadj Lakehal

Instructor

With SwimWay since November 2025

I began swimming at the age of three and trained for many years with the London Borough of Hounslow swimming programme, where I perfected my strokes and achieved national level times in the fifty and one hundred metre front crawl.  Swimming has been a central part of my life and has given me a strong technical base as well as an understanding of discipline and long term development.

Alongside my swimming career, I studied Architecture at Kingston University and later completed several full stack web development traineeships.  These experiences strengthened my problem solving skills, attention to detail and ability to communicate clearly with people of different backgrounds.  Despite exploring other paths, I chose to focus fully on teaching swimming, which remains my main passion.

I hold Level 1 and Level 2 Swim England teaching qualifications and, since 2017,  have taught thousands of swimmers of all ages and abilities, from babies to adults.  I am committed to delivering high quality, confidence building lessons and tailoring my approach to each individual.  I am proud to work with SwimWay and I look forward to further developing my career within the company while helping more swimmers achieve their goals.
