“My wife and I decided to get swimming lessons after a recent holiday to a beach resort. We went snorkelling and even though we had life vests on, we didn't enjoy the experience as much due to neither of us being confident in the water.
We signed up to SwimNow and had a taster session with Amy. From that very first session, Amy instilled a confidence in both of us that has seen us progress far better than I would have ever imagined.
My wife has definitely gotten much more confident and better than I have and can now swim further and faster than I can. This is coming from someone who wouldn't even put her face in the water during our first lesson.
Despite us being on different levels in our progress, Amy still manages to give us both attention at the same time in the pool and allow us to develop at our own paces.
Despite being costly, both of us agree that this is the best investment in ourselves and I would highly recommend SwimNow for 1:1 or 2:1 lessons.”
“Amy (SwimNow) has been great with our two boys. She has been able to channel their intense enthusiasm into conference in the water, whilst balancing just the right amount of fun to still be a highlight of the week a year later.”
“Came to Amy to improve my swimming with the aim of competing in triathlons. I thought my swimming was way off and needed a lot of work as I was constantly gassing out and burning energy. After 1 lesson I seen huge improvements and my confidence in the water and technique improved dramatically. All down to the professional advice Amy was able to give me.
I am now looking at dates for my first triathlon!!! Success!
I would recommend Amy to anyone learning to swim, wanted to improve efficiency, or building up confidence in the water.
I'm 33! You're never too old!
Thanks Amy!”
“My swimming instructor was Amy, such an amazing soul. Amy made me feel at ease and helped me through my swimming. It’s not easy to learn to swim as an adult but with Amy she made it so easy for me. I enjoyed my lessons and really thank her for showing me and teaching me professionally with her big smile and time she took with the level off teaching skills she showed me. It was amazing to be taught by her and will be going back, fingers crossed hope will get in her class again. Such a good time I had with her and actually she taught my wife and my son and both were amazed by her skills of profession she showed. Big up to Amy and we can’t thank you much! Thanks”
“Amy at SwimNow was the perfect coach for any apprehensive water-goer. She made me feel capable, calm and was full of encouragement after a lifetime of doubt and avoidance. I can now swim 3 strokes to a level I’m happy with and am able to swim with my 6 year old daughter on holidays. Life changing. The one to one lessons make such a difference, as do the private pools. I can wholeheartedly recommend SwimNow to change and add value to your life.”
“We’ve had a great experience with swimming teacher Ryan. My 9 year old son struggled to concentrate in group lessons and the 1 on 1 approach had been great. Ryan is patient and calm throughout lessons and my son was always happy to chat away to him! Thank you for all your help in progressing my son to the next level!”
“My swimming instructor was Andy. He was very patient and encouraging.
I got over my fear of water and I am able to swim a little more. I definitely would recommend Andy as a swimming instructor..
Unfortunately I could not continue with lessons due to cost.”
“I had a great experience with SwimNow, it helped me massively with my swimming capability in preparation for my travels in NZ/Auz. Big shoutout to Andy for making the lessons fun, engaging and rewarding! Cannot reccomend SwimNow enough. Thank you!”
“I did a course with swimnow to learn to swim and it was a good experience. I had come to England to learn English and even with the language barrier, Robin, my teacher, was able to adapt. Not only did she teach me how to swim but she also taught me new words in English as well as things about English culture and all this in a good mood. She always found simple ways to explain things to me and when I couldn't make a move she found a way for me to understand. A big thank to Robyn”
“I had my first swimming lesson with Polly on Friday, I was really nervous as I have fear of water. Before entering the pool I had anxiety attack. Polly put me at ease very quickly and helped me get into the water where she worked with me at my pace. Brilliant swimming teacher very calm, reassuring, and made me feel comfortable in the water would highly recommend”
“Would not recommend! Their website states that lessons are 1-1 or 1-2 private lessons in uncrowded pools - this couldn't be further from the truth, lessons are held in a crowded small public pool with no room at all, if you are nervous or self conscious this is very unsettling, so much so that we decided not to bother with the lesson, when I tried to contact Swim now after the lesson to complain about this I couldn't get through at all. Very misleading!!!”
“Very professional instructor, easy to interact with. Clear instructions given throughout & made to feel very welcome & safe. Would definately recommend to anyone serious about learning to swim using 1 to 1 instruction.”
“hi , Kim was very professional and pushed me enough to make me progress, couldn't do freestyle swimming at all and Kim got me their in 3 lessons not bad considering I'm 62,I must add I did lots of practice in between lessons would have give 5star but pool not very deep and small. Roland.”
“My 11 year old son could swim, but lacked technique and confidence. Andy was brilliant with him, making the lessons varied and fun. He has progressed so much over the summer and is less anxious for swimming at secondary school. Highly recommended!”
“I had a bundle of twelve lessons with Pete and have made lots of progress by the end.
As I have always had doubts about my physical ability, I felt unsure about group classes and I tried to teach myself to swim for a few times to no avail.
After lessons with Pete I am now able to travel from one end of the 13m pool to the other both on my back and on my front with the help of fins, and I had never thought I could be able to do that.
My only complaint is that I would have preferred having two 30 minute sessions a week, but the instructor’s schedule is too tight and can’t fit in more lessons.”
