I've just finished a course of 6 hour lessons with Pete and I'm actually sad that there won't be anymore. I'm a 52 year old woman with a fear of water, who has spent all her life being the one on holiday 'watching the bags' - missing out on the water fun and here I am 6 weeks later, diving to the bottom of the pool picking up rings - why didn't I do this sooner? I could swim breaststroke stroke in a fashion but Pete totally changed my technique to allow me to swim more efficiently with the right timing and breathing - I love it! Pete is a lovely lad with a great teaching style. I immediately felt at ease with him from my first lesson. He is patient and encouraging, giving detailed explainations, visual ques and he even gets into the water to demonstrate which I found very beneficial. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this instructor to anyone of any age, looking to improve in the water. I found swim now a fab company to deal with, Linda in admin explained everything to me over the phone, was very friendly, answered all my questions and backed everything up via email. I never once felt pressured to sign up.

Excellent delivery of swimming lessons by Pete who is always determined to help reach my swimming goals. He nicely breaks down the goal into manageable chunks and provides a structure that is easy to understand and follow. I would highly encourage others to atleast have a sample session with Pete and you would be amazed with the progress you will experience from the first 30 mins session.

I am really pleased with my son’s progress. His confidence in the water went up after the first lesson. We found one-on-one sessions so much better than the group sessions at the local swimming pool and he is a much better swimmer after only a few lessons! I definitely recommend Swim Now to anyone - it is definitely worth it.

Really enjoying my lessons with Pete and looking forward to having the confidence to enjoy the water sports on my holiday in January. He's got the patience of a Saint.

Andy at Leicester has been fantastic in the sessions we had to dramatically improve my swimming technique from not being able to complete 1 length of a pool to now having the confidence to train for a triathlon event. Thank you! Would definitely recommend!

My twins swimming with Ian at Swimnow has massively improved over the weeks. I’m am very happy with how they have both improved both in stamina and technique, which you would not ordinarily get with normal group lessons. They both look forward to going and Ian makes it enjoyable and so much fun! I would highly recommend using Swimnow and if you can get Ian as your teacher, even better!

My girls absolutely love their lessons with Amy-Lee Travis based in Sale. She is a fantastic swimming teacher and my girls look forward to their lessons every week. She is a very talented teacher who really motivated my girls and teaches them at their pace. I can’t recommend her enough.

Andy at Leicester made my 5 year old son feel comfortable around water for the first time in his life, despite many previous failed attempts elsewhere. He is the ultimate professional and so calm and smooth in his actions, it was genuinely heartwarming to witness it.

Ian Cartwright is a great instructor. Got my 6 year old swimming more in one lesson than the previous instructor did in 10 lessons

Many thanks. I had about 6 training swimming sessions with Nick and actually he is professional and I managed within short time to improve markedly and to swim independently. Many thanks

Excellent swimming lessons from Ian. My grandson had lost all his confidence after the COVID break and Ian got it back in his first lesson. He looks forward to his lesson every week and he is coming on in leaps and bounds. Thankyou.

Ian has been teaching William for a month now and I have to say, he can’t wait for each lesson! Ian clearly has the knack of teaching young children and making the classes fun. 5 stars, Highly recommend.

Ian is a great teacher and keeps the girls engaged. We have tried various teachers and so far Ian has been the best. Even when the girls are put to the test he strikes the right balance between fun and giving them the confidence not be afraid of the water.

I have lessons with Amy, she is apt in recognizing your needs by just chatting to you, friendly, easy going yet professional. Her technique is unique and approach flexible. Great communicator and efficient. I was so impressed with her teaching methods & knowledge that I introduced two colleagues to her, now learning to swim and few more will join us too. Thank you Amy

After waiting for months for a taster class that I had to pay for…I still have managed to get my daughter onto a set class…instead get offered on off classes where someone as cancelled.. how is a child meant to learn if no consistency.

I have been doing lessons with Amy for couple months now. She is the most patient and supportive instructor I could ask for. I stared my lessons as someone who could barely swim and she has boosted my confidence in the water dramatically. She pushes me to enhance my swimming each lesson and I couldn’t be more thankful.

I started my lessons with Pete having never swam in my life and being quite uncomfortable in the water, 4 weeks later I have swam unassisted for the first time. I’m looking forward to continuing my journey now, thank you Pete.

I signed up to SwimNow after spending all my childhood and adult life unable to swim - and wanting a change! My instructor Amy Lee at the Hilton, Deansgate has been nothing but exceptional. In just six lessons I’ve gone from have a phobia of water and zero skills - to being able to swim a good length of the pool with my face in the water. I wouldn’t have believed that if you told me before I started. Amy is calm, thorough and patient - and a laugh. She is an asset to SwimNow.
