Holly-Eva is an amazing instructor. She is very patient with my 4 year old son and he has become very confident in water. He looks forward to his session with Holly every week.

My teenage daughter has recently completed a 6-session course of lessons with Ruki (at the Mercure hotel pool, Sheffield) & we've been impressed & amazed by how much her technique has improved & her confidence has grown in such a short space of time. Ruki is an excellent coach - friendly, professional & very motivating. As a poolside spectator I have been particularly impressed by how she quickly tuned into my daughter's areas for improvement and focused the sessions on not just ironing those out but also supporting & encouraging her to develop further as a good all-round swimmer. Thank you, Ruki!

Absolutely shocking!!! Charged £270 for what I was told was 6 sessions 5pm-6pm twice a week, I can swim but wanted to learn the front crawl technique, arrived at my first lesson to discover I was only getting half hour lessons totalling 3 hours, the lesson took place in a pool about 10metres long 3 strokes and I was at other side, can't refund me and I won't be waisting my time going to the other 5 sessions.

I signed up for SwimNow in early May, 4 weeks before i flew to Spain. At first, I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to learn alot in such little time I had before going abroad. But then I met my swim coach Robyn. I explained to robyn what I wanted to learn and the fears I had. And From the off go robyn knew exactly what was needed and structured an amazing plan for me to follow in such little time, whilst also helping me get over any fears I had. I was really impressed at how much I learnt in my lessons, from floating to swimming on my back and switching from my back to my front. Things I thought i would never ever do and it was all thanks to robyn's guidance I left my last lesson feeling really confident and happy that I took the plunge to learn how to swim. Since then I've been nothing but in the pool on my holiday and it was all thanks to robyn's teaching. Robyn is an excellent coach who pushes you to do things you didn't think you could do, but she knows you can do it. Thank you Robyn and SwimNow

I signed up with swim now not expecting to achieve much in a week. My swim coach Andy Mckenzie was amazing. We established my swimming objectives straight away, and structured my lessons to achieve them. I am amazed at how far my swimming have come in a week. My confidence in water has greatly improved and swimming is now part of my weekly routine. I will be taking up paddle boarding, taking advantage of the numerous water sporting activities in the Lake District where I live- something I’ve always wished to do but lack of water confidence held me back. Thank you Andy and SwimNow

Millie was a fantastic instructor and helped me achieve my goals. Booking was easy and overall service and comms were great. At time the pool (Stratford) was too busy for a fully productive session which was a bit frustrating, especially given the considerable cost of the sessions.

Our SwimNow instructor, Sarah, is fantastic. She is professional but very caring with our young children and they look forward to going for their lesson every week. I have had a couple of occasions when they have been poorly and missed the lessons but Sarah ensured that the missed lessons were taken as I was able to let it be known in plenty of time. Price wise it does seem expensive but it’s well worth it to ensure your child will eventually be safe in water. All equipment is provided to reassure the learner in the water. Would not hesitate to use the company again.

As an adult learner I was nervous about taking lessons but I felt instantly at ease and confident that this was the right approach for me. The one-to-one coaching and having the instructor in the water with me has helped me progress quickly. Thanks so much to Ben for his patience.

My son has been swimming for about a year (at Leicester Hilton) and enjoys every session. Ryan his instructor is very attentive, patient and kind. With the introduction of certificates and badges - this is an added motivation for my son to keep on achieving and continue to build his confidence and strength in the pool.

I’m really happy with my 2 sons progress at swimming since they began with Swim Now about 6 months ago. From the taster session up until current, everything has been really easy in terms of organising the lesson times, and our instructor (Robyn) has been fantastic and created a really good bond with the boys. They are only aged 3 and 5 and the 5 year old can now swim probably about 5 metres or so unaided, they are both confident at jumping in, and just being in any water now. I look forward to watching them progress into little swimmers.

Both my boys have lessons with Sarah in Stoke (Tunstall) and they absolutely love it! She’s had my youngest learning to swim in a couple of lessons and is supporting my eldest son in perfecting his strokes and building confidence in the water. She is honestly THE BEST! I couldn’t recommend or thank her enough!

My daughters go to Hilton Birmingham and have 20 minutes each session with Holly, she is brilliant with them, fun, makes them feel welcome and encourages them. I can really see the confidence in my daughters under water and after 10+ sessions they are nearly solo swimmers.

Robyn has been teaching our daughter Elsie to swim for the last 2 ½ months. Having previously had a bad experience with a different swim school, Robyn was very good at gaining Elsie’s trust and giving her confidence in the water. Elsie’s ability is building lesson by lesson and she is really happy to be taught by Robyn. Robyn is a very supportive and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending.

I would like to compliment Robyn from SwimNow. She helped my daughter gain confidence and improve her swimming skills. My daughter really liked Robyn from day one. Robyn made the swimming lessons fun, she was patient with my daughter. My daughter had been terrified of the pool, now she happily jumps into the pool and goes underwater with so much confidence. Thank you so much Robyn.

Despite emailing a few times and calling on phone, no one got back to us and we have not taken any lessons yet. However we have received this survey to rate our lessons! Disappointing!!
