“I learnt to do breast stroke as a child and am reasonable competent at it, but have never been able to do front crawl. I have always wanted to learn but never had the courage to take lessons. Having decided it was now or never, I signed up with Swim Now with Clare as my instructor at Bristol.
Twelve weeks later I found myself at my local pool having completed my first 25m length of front crawl! I’ll be honest, I didn’t do this with just 12 half hour lessons, there was lots of practice in between lessons and a few ups and downs along the way. What was key though was Clare’s motivation every week and the fact she would push me on to achieve the next goal. Clare is a brilliant teacher, quickly sorting out issues that are holding you back and explaining/ demonstrating things in a way I could easily grasp.
I carried on with a few more lessons to improve my stamina and endurance, culminating in a 400m swim, which I never thought would be possible.
Thank you Clare.”
“Massive thanks to Neve at Swim now for her swimming lessons. With her Patience and useful tips, she helped me gain more confidence in my freestyle swim by helping me to improve my overall technique. Highly recommend”
“Absolutely made up with the progress my son is making with swim now .
Devontae was scared of water and on his second lesson was happily putting his face in the water .
He has just done his 5 metres and is so happy , a total different boy .
His teacher Neve is so very lovely with a calming nature and has him totally at ease building his confidence every week .”
“Our 9 year old daughter has had the best experience with the SwimNow team and we cannot recommend them highly enough. Daniel was her tutor and although she could swim well when we started the lessons, Daniel was able to take her swimming skills and confidence to a whole new level and to the point that we are considering swim clubs. His level of patience balanced by his ability to keep her focused and motivated on the lesson was exceptional! I also must commend the internal team as Pete was always available for any questions and updates which completed our enhanced experience with SwimNow.”
“Great communication throughout, very happy with SwimNow but what made it even better was our swim instructor Jaz. Jaz’s teaching is professional, clear and understanding. Jaz made swim lessons fun and enjoyable. Would highly recommend SwimNow and you would lucky to have Jaz as your instructor.”
“Donya the swimming teacher from Swim Now has been amazing! So patient and kind yet always gently pushing my son to be brave and improve his swimming. She is brilliant and I would highly recommend her.”
“Jaz was an excellent instructor! When I started I could barely swim a length and now I can swim 800m! I have noticed a huge difference in my swimming technique and feel a lot more confident.”
“Our daughter has only been having lessons with Neve for a few weeks but has already built on what her previous swim now instructor had achieved. Neve has helped her build a lot of confidence in the water and she is now able to swim much further than before.”
“My son has had the best journey of swimming with Jaz the coach from swimnow. Very well designed coaching and fun learning as well. I have never seen my son enjoying what he is learning until he started with Jaz . Definitely love the progress so far.”
“Laura is amazing I highly recommend her but she is moving to another job position and I couldn’t be more happier for her ; honestly she’s so amazing and she made me feel so at ease and never made me feel like a bad swimmer even though I am so 25 and should know how to swim; she did not make me feel down about myself one bit. She is a true asset to the team and I wish her all the best in her new job role”
“I had Andy at Hilton Leicester and he was brilliant.
I went from not being able to swim a few lengths to completing a triathlon in a short space of time.
He was patient from the start and really dialled in on what I needed to know. Would definitely recommend.”
“Clare has done a brilliant job bringing on my daughter and her friend in their 2:1 lessons at Bradley Stoke. She has the patience of a saint and is happy to adjust teaching styles when my daughter wonders as my daughter is easily distracted and is very excited for her lessons every week with Clare. It’s definitely worth investing the money in 1:1 or 2:1 the quality and time the children get in the water is so much better the venues swim now offer are very clean, modern and well presented. If we’ve had any problems or worries Clare has sorted straight away.
The only thing I think could be considered is the communication of where my daughter is what she needs to be working and focusing on, but to be fair to Clare since she’s been assessing them through the stages we can see a lot my structure to the lessons and notice where they are.”
“My grandson is autistic and finds new situations very difficult. I brought him along to a trial session. He just sat on the side of the pool and didn’t get in the water. His coach Sam was great with him, talking to him, telling him that things would go at his pace. When we left I thought he wouldn’t want to go back but he wanted me to book more lessons. He’d obviously felt comfortable with Sam.
It’s been 12 weeks now and it’s hard to believe it’s the same person. He loves coming to his lessons and has made so much progress.
A big thanks to Sam and her understanding, and patience. You have had such an influence on Liam and his confidence has grown so much.”
“I have swimming lesson today first with Ellie R. I am very happy she'd really help me very well. I would like to. Continue every week to listen Sunday and Monday. With her Ellie 💕”
“I am very happy that I chose Swimnow for adult lessons as I have noticed an immense improvement with my confidence in the water. Sarah is an exceptional teacher, who is both patient and knowledgeable. She gave me plenty of time after each demonstration to figure out my own way around the different techniques, however, she would always watch and analyse, prepared to share feedback and supporting exercises. I didn't need to hesitate before asking a question as she was very easy to talk to and I felt very comfortable having her as my instructor. Would highly recommend Sarah for lessons.”
