Big thank you to Monika for her patience, encouragement and her caring attitude . I was a little uncomfortable being in the pool with other people from the gym as I wasn’t expecting anyone else to be there. Monika made me feel at ease and soon didn’t notice others. My confidence in the water has improved so much that I recently went to Portugal and actually enjoyed the pool at the villa. I can swim on my back much better than front. Breathing and getting the arms technique needs practicing. This is the best thing I could have done. I wish I could afford further lessons. But I’ll think about saving for the improvers course. Thank you Monika, thank you SwimNow👍🏽 Definitely recommend

I am learning something. I have improved. I am going more slowly than I hoped. It is expensive.

The techniques Dominic and Megan taught me have me so much confidence. I honestly thought I'd never enjoy swimming under water and on my back but I achieved these skills in just one course. I'm hoping to book another block when I get chance to push myself further.

Very good service and my swimming has really improved just over 6 lessons. I would give a 5 star review but I think they could improve in three areas 1. Take video's on before and after because you would be able to see how much improvement you've made. 2.Give more praise and encouragement ( I thrive and perform better when I'm given good feedback) 3. A clear plan on what areas you'll be focusing on over the 6 sessions

Learning to swim at 70. Maria is a great and patient tutor based at Manchester Hilton - excellent facilities combined with an excellent tutor.

Great instructor Andy enjoyed leaning to swim still need to have some more lesson,I’m still not very Confident in the water,I think swim now need to give you some of the lessons in a big pool, because it is still a bit overwhelming if you have never been in one even if you can swim

Oliver is a brilliant instructor and gave me more confidence in the water in a short space of time than I would have ever thought possible. I am extremely grateful for his patience and support. The only reason I haven't awarded a 5 is that the hourly cost (over 3 times the cost of a driving lesson) is restrictive.

Emily is a great instructor and handled my nervous 8 year old perfectly - she was kind but firm and Laura made great progress. Highly recommended Thanks Emily

Have really enjoyed learning to swim and my instructor has been patient. I started having a real fear of water, and after the first lesson I was already swimming a few strokes unaided. The lessons are expensive, however the one on one time and attention that you get is great! The facilities are excellent and the pools I have learned in have been quiet and not intimidating.

Good trainer but a little expensive.

Quiet pool, not out of my depth or comfort zone. Meg gave me confidence and the positive encouragement I need.

Megan is excellent, she quickly worked out flaws in my technique and she has helped me improve with patience and humour. I have gained so much confidence with Meg's support, I no longer worry about being out of my depth and I can swim many lengths in my local pool. I am slightly disappointed with the facilities. I would have preferred a pool with a deep end and the changing rooms are poor and not as clean as I expected.

I had been looking for 1-1 tuition for several years and always got put on waiting lists and never heard anything. SwimNow got back to me straightaway and could accommodate me in classes that suited my working arrangements. My instructor Emily listened to me as I explained my areas for improvement and was patient and enthusiastic week after week (we didn’t crack it, but that certainly wasn’t to do with Emily!)

I went from believing I would never be able to swim to learning I can actually float and travel in the water.

My 6 year old son loved his individuals sessions with Meg, and made amazing progress. It hadn’t even occurred to me that he would be capable of learning different strokes, I had just wanted him to be able to stay afloat! Thanks for taking him that bit further Meg!
