“Had my son doing a lesson and he didn’t like there but after his trial at Swim Now Sheffield with Pete he was so happy and loving it, every week he ask to go swimming thanks Pete. Highly recommended 🙏🏾.”
“I am so happy to have started my swimming Lessons with Swim now in nottingam. Monika who is my teacher is so lovely and patient with me. For someone who was so scared of water to now actually be able to float i will say its all thanks to Monika. She has thought me so many skills. I really look forward to swimming days. I will definitely recommend the company.”
“Pete is an excellent teacher - he analysed my stroke and knew straight away where I was going wrong and how to correct it. He has taken a really structured approach, slowly building up the different elements and helping me to find my confidence. I am really enjoying the lessons and am so pleased that after just a few sessions we are already making progress. Would definitely recommend Pete to anyone who wants to learn to swim!”
“I took 6 classes with Evie in Leeds Hilton Hotel and it's one of the best decisions I've made. I had some traumatic experiences with swimming when I was a kid, so never got into a pool for nearly 20 years. When I finally decided to overcome my fears, I've been lucky enough to get someone like Evie as my swim teacher, who made me feel comfortable in the water and helped me learn swimming in no time. She was always on top with comms, making sure to keep me updated with her availability and class timings. Overall a highly positive experience and would definitely recommend Swim Now and Evie.”
“Just completed a six lesson course with Jas at The Hilton Hotel, Cardiff . Jas is a lovely instructor who has helped me tremendously in my quest to learn to swim. A very enjoyable experience with a great instructor.”
“Clare was just fantastic, taking our 6 year old daughter from stage 3 to touching stage 6 in 12 lessons. Absolutely know what you are doing and is great value over group lessons. The kids really love it too. Thank you so much Clare and Swimnow.”
“Overall I had quite a positive experience with SwimNow. I booked lessons for my 10/11 year old son, as he couldn't swim very confidently. He started with one swimming teacher, who then left not long before Christmas (he spent roughly a couple of months with her), and unfortunately he then had probably at least a month and a half or 2 months without any lessons, as the company had issues recruiting another swimming teacher. However, although not ideal, I was quite patient and understanding about this, and when he started having swimming lessons with his new swimming teacher Evie, he said that he liked her from the start. She has a lovely personality/temperament which suited my son, and enabled him to progress quite nicely and gain more skills/confidence. He had lessons with her for another couple of months before unfortunately having to stop due to other sporting commitments. I will not hesitate to go back to Evie and SwimNow in the future if I feel more lessons are required.”
“Avoid!!!
I booked 6 lessons and after having 4 they said the instructor has left the company and they don’t have anyone to replace her for 3 weeks. They said a new instructor will contact me to book the lessons but nobody contacted me for 1 months and a half. Once I asked them for a refund, they said the new instructor was fully booked and I can have lesson when they have availability on a later date ( the dates that I am not free)
I told them that I want a refund as they didn’t offer the lessons during the time that was free and they stopped replying to my emails!!!!
Swim Now is a scam. They have no respect for your time and money. Initially they pretend to be nice to take your money. Once they have received your bank account details, you would have to chase them for your lessons .”
“booking with Chloe who was great really informative and good communication,my lessons with holly at Telford golf and spa are great , the location is brilliant and relaxed with no pressure , holly is really good at teaching you and helping you progress, while building self confidence in the water , I would recommend swim now and holly to anybody who’s looking to learn to swim or improving their technique/ability

“Enjoying my lessons. I’ve progressed much quicker than I thought I would. Byron is very patient and does well at pushing me to do my best. I thought I’d feel really silly but he puts me at ease and I think this is very helpful. Thank you”
“We paid £35 for the assessment which we attended and was great so decided to join. Following week swimming cancelled due to sickness. The next week we turned up and were sat by the pool in swimming shorts on, to find out it was cancelled that week as well. Unfortunately we weren’t told about the cancellation. Waste of fuel and parking and time. Third week, we tried numerous people to find out if the swimming was on or not. Nobody replied. The morning of the lesson I sent another message advising we didn’t want to leave the house to attend if not on. We eventually got a reply back from the instructor who said he had left. Spoke to head office who blamed the instructor for not informing us earlier and they were so sorry for the service we had. As the instructor didn’t work there anymore I don’t believe it was his responsibility to inform customers. The person we spoke to said they would ensure we were compensated. Of course this didn’t happen. Just another lesson date and time would have been sufficient. Very poor service for the price you pay for the 1:1 lessons. I wouldn’t recommend.”
“Clare (my instructor) was a very good & patient coach throughout my session.
I was a novice at swimming but now I feel very comfortable & confident in the water on my own after just 6 lessons.
I would very much recommend opting for her if anyone is looking for a beginner session to build up your skills.
Cheers.”
“I turned up with my twins 6yo girls as did several other people that day. We changed stood waiting for 15 minutes and no one turned. Apparently, Charlotte, the swimming instructor was in an accident the day before. When I tried to ring both, Lawrence (who took the booking) and the main number my phone was blocked. The desk rang through on my behalf and left messages.
The staff at the pool had no information.
My girls waited over an hour at the main desk in costumes. They were very unhappy and disappointed little girls.
After more calls in the week we eventually spoke to someone and was offered a place the following week. We declined.”
“The reason for one * is because my daughter has not had a chance to take her lesson because ever since she was given a date the lesson has been cancelled by Swim Now three times and we are even considering asking for the money back and try other options somewhere else because our child is so desperate to get to the pool.”
“Lessons cancelled all the time went there for a lesson with my grandson and no one was there they never contacted me to say it was cancelled I booked a 3months course in November and it’s now April and he still hasn’t completed his lessons”
“I wanted to say thank you so much to Evie for being so patient with my boys.
I was crying today when my autistic son just decided to try swimming with the float for the first time ever after 5 weeks and never being in the water or having lessons before.
Both boys have come on amazingly.
Thank you so much”
