“Clare has been so wonderful with our autistic son and his lessons, being patient and understanding. He has come along so well and his confidence in the water has hugely improved! He really enjoys his lessons each week”
“Clare has been our children’s swimming teacher since May, and has been incredible. Our children have both gone from needing swimming aids to being able to swim independently.
Clare is so much fun for the children, so they love the lessons, but she ensures they progress and learn at a very fast pace. She is patient and very kind, but strict enough when needed to make sure the children pay attention and learn the safety elements of swimming as well as the practicalities.
Her communication with parents is brilliant, yet her focus during lessons remains solely on the children and their requirements and development.
I would recommend Clare to anyone, and look forward to continuing to see our children progress with her.”
“I had a 6 week block of adult lessons with Luke at SwimNow Sale. I'd never been a strong swimmer and hadn't really done any swimming since I was a child so wanted to be able to swim comfortably enough to have it as part of my fitness routine. In that short time Luke helped me progress quickly and hit all my goals and more, with a patient, focused and engaging teaching style. Would recommend.”
“My son started swimming with Clare a few months ago and what a difference she has made. Having 1:1 sessions just means he gets to spend 100% of the time focusing on his own swimming and Clare is great at showing him what he needs to do. He enjoys his sessions too. She maintains focus but also makes it fun enough for him to stay engaged.”
“As someone who was seriously scared of water and social situations, I decided to take private swimming lessons with SwimNow. I had a great teacher called Sam, she took someone who couldn't swim at all or even get in the water and taught them to be comfortable in the water and actually got me swimming from one end of the pool to the other. She was great. I would definitely recommend SwimNow”
“The customer service is great! If I have any questions, I will promptly get a response and information. My swimming instructor Neve is the best! She knew I was quite nervous with water and her friendly approach made it easy for me to get more comfortable swimming.”
“I’m absolutely loving learning to swim with Neve! I never thought I would overcome my phobia of water, never mind learn to swim but on my first lesson she made me feel comfortable enough to get in the water as she’s so patient and calm. She’s been so kind to me as I am autistic and always lets me know how I’m doing.
Neve is amazing at what she does as it’s obvious she loves swimming and helping others and I don’t think I could have done this without her! I feel as though I’m learning with a friend rather than a teacher and I can’t wait to continue and eventually have a go at snorkelling lessons in the future. Thank you so much Neve and Swim now”
“My daughter had lost her confidence in swimming and as a teenager it was holding her back from doing fun things on holiday or with her friends. Just 6 lessons with Claire set her right back on track and she is now a confident and capable swimmer. These lessons have been transformative and some of the best money I have ever spent. I need never worry again that she can't swim to save her life. Many many thanks.”
“Neve is a fantastic teacher and our twin boys have learned so much already from Neve. They look forward each week to their lessons and Neve has afforded them so much of her time and kindness it has made the whole experience for them all the more enjoyable. We would highly recommend Neve as she is a great person.
A absolute credit to swim now, and an unbelievable teacher.
Personally we would like to Thank you Neve for being you and helping our boys.”
“Highly recommend swim now. My 7 year old daughter absolutely loves her 121 classes with her instructor Ian. He is excellent at communicating with her and getting the most out of the lessons every time. She has come on leaps and bounds in terms of technique with all of her strokes, which is exactly what we wanted. She finds the lessons fun and is always keen to go every week. The venue at the Hilton Gateshead is also excellent. The office is easy to contact too via what’s app and Pete always come back promptly and efficiently to answer queries. All round, this is the best decision we made for an extra curricular activity for our daughter!”
“My 7 year old’s swimming teacher Aghi is brillant and attuned to my son’s needs. He uses a visual timetable to share the lesson plan. He works within his window of tolerance, pushing him but without making him
overly anxious. My has made much progress and he is now saying he loves swimming. Thank you”
“Clare was a brilliant teacher , very patient and understanding , my swimming has really improved and have no hesitation in recommending her lessons . The experience in dealing with the company was dissapointing , after connecting Swimnow after trial lesson , I was told that someone would contact me to take my card no , and only on insistence did the person accept my card during the call ! Also I understand I would have to complete a health questionnaire , which I never received !”
“Very forthcoming to book me in but ghosted me for months. I’ve requested for a refund multiple times and they have not processed it - £40 is a lot of money to not return to a customer you did not serve. Please do not give these folks your time and money.”
