“My instructor left and a new one was meant to take over and I haven’t heard from them in over a month. Hundreds of pounds down the drain and still can’t swim”
“Mariam has been extremely patient, kind and supportive to my child who is loving her lessons. She looks forward to them all week and progress is good. Mariam has also been very accommodating with my requests to amend our allocated slot when required and offered extra lessons where possible. So far an overall positive experience. Thank you Mariam”
“I was very nervous about my son Jack starting swimming lessons. We had tried group swimming lessons but he refused to go in. I honestly didn’t think he would do it and 1 to 1 lessons were our last and only option left to get him to learn to swim.
Mariam is brilliant, she instantly started asking Jack about things he likes and made him feel at ease straight away.
He came out after his first lesson so excited and happy, telling everybody about Mariam and asking me every day when can he go back and swim with Mariam!
And this has not wavered since he started, he is still just as excited every week.
Mariam makes the lessons fun for him and has him digging for treasure in water etc and he just loves it!
Yes it’s not cheap but it was the only way we could ever get our boy to swim with an actual instructor and you can’t put on a price on the safety of your child and knowing they will be safe in the water.
I am just so grateful and lucky that we managed to find someone like Mariam, that Jack instantly clicked with.
Seeing Jacks confidence grow every week is amazing and I cannot wait to see how his swimming improves over the next few months!
We cannot recommend Mariam enough!”
“Mariam nejad is everything you could hope for and want in a swim teacher.
She sees so much and is able to pick up on even the most minute details when and where needed.
She is very approachable and has me relaxed the entire time, apart form when i got ahead of myself, but then shes there....
My progress was something i knew wouldn't come over night and i had expected it to take quite some time, however, some of the tbings im already able to do thanks to mariams help is so satisfying and gives me more confidence each session.
Very professional and nice person to be around and i look forward to seeing where i am in another few months.
Its not cheap but im much happier nowing im taking the steps i am and gaining the knowledge i am, than i would be to have the money still in my bank.
So it is worth it....
Thank you mariam.”
“My husband and I have classes with Miriam. We didn’t know a thing about swimming! We wouldn’t have come this far with our progress without Miriam as our teacher. She is absolutely great! She is a very patient teacher and explains things effortlessly. Miriam really pushes you and encourages you especially when you may not be feeling confident within the sessions. We’ve really enjoyed our sessions with Miriam she’s been an absolute star!”
“The lessons are okay, only finding getting appointments quite difficult I work shifts, so my availability is never constant so it’s been difficult for me”
“Very happy with Louise absolutely fantastic at her job she has encouraged my daughter on a one to one basis that the water is fun as well as learning I couldn't ask for a better instructor it takes alot for my daughter to trust people and only after a few week my daughter isn't afraid and love Louise and says she's best teacher ever ❤️❤️”
“Hi I’m very happy with customer service I’m very happy with Mariam she is a great teacher have a lot of time with you when your having your lesson Mariam makes you feel welcome every time and talk how your doing which I love at the end of each lesson I feel like I have known Mariam a long time and I love my lesson with her that is why I signed up for 13 more lessons”
“I started taking lessons not Knowing what to expect and how far I can learn. MARIAM NEJAD is an excellent swim teacher. I am please that she is my swim teacher. Mariam is very professional in manners, accommodating, understanding and helpful. Her attitude is very encouraging and I am very pleased with my lessons. I would highly recommend Swim now!!!! There packages are good and staff is friendly professionally and they take their customers service seriously.”
“Had my son doing a lesson and he didn’t like there but after his trial at Swim Now Sheffield with Pete he was so happy and loving it, every week he ask to go swimming thanks Pete. Highly recommended 🙏🏾.”
“I am so happy to have started my swimming Lessons with Swim now in nottingam. Monika who is my teacher is so lovely and patient with me. For someone who was so scared of water to now actually be able to float i will say its all thanks to Monika. She has thought me so many skills. I really look forward to swimming days. I will definitely recommend the company.”
“Pete is an excellent teacher - he analysed my stroke and knew straight away where I was going wrong and how to correct it. He has taken a really structured approach, slowly building up the different elements and helping me to find my confidence. I am really enjoying the lessons and am so pleased that after just a few sessions we are already making progress. Would definitely recommend Pete to anyone who wants to learn to swim!”
“I took 6 classes with Evie in Leeds Hilton Hotel and it's one of the best decisions I've made. I had some traumatic experiences with swimming when I was a kid, so never got into a pool for nearly 20 years. When I finally decided to overcome my fears, I've been lucky enough to get someone like Evie as my swim teacher, who made me feel comfortable in the water and helped me learn swimming in no time. She was always on top with comms, making sure to keep me updated with her availability and class timings. Overall a highly positive experience and would definitely recommend Swim Now and Evie.”
“Just completed a six lesson course with Jas at The Hilton Hotel, Cardiff . Jas is a lovely instructor who has helped me tremendously in my quest to learn to swim. A very enjoyable experience with a great instructor.”
“Clare was just fantastic, taking our 6 year old daughter from stage 3 to touching stage 6 in 12 lessons. Absolutely know what you are doing and is great value over group lessons. The kids really love it too. Thank you so much Clare and Swimnow.”
“Overall I had quite a positive experience with SwimNow. I booked lessons for my 10/11 year old son, as he couldn't swim very confidently. He started with one swimming teacher, who then left not long before Christmas (he spent roughly a couple of months with her), and unfortunately he then had probably at least a month and a half or 2 months without any lessons, as the company had issues recruiting another swimming teacher. However, although not ideal, I was quite patient and understanding about this, and when he started having swimming lessons with his new swimming teacher Evie, he said that he liked her from the start. She has a lovely personality/temperament which suited my son, and enabled him to progress quite nicely and gain more skills/confidence. He had lessons with her for another couple of months before unfortunately having to stop due to other sporting commitments. I will not hesitate to go back to Evie and SwimNow in the future if I feel more lessons are required.”
“Avoid!!!
I booked 6 lessons and after having 4 they said the instructor has left the company and they don’t have anyone to replace her for 3 weeks. They said a new instructor will contact me to book the lessons but nobody contacted me for 1 months and a half. Once I asked them for a refund, they said the new instructor was fully booked and I can have lesson when they have availability on a later date ( the dates that I am not free)
I told them that I want a refund as they didn’t offer the lessons during the time that was free and they stopped replying to my emails!!!!
Swim Now is a scam. They have no respect for your time and money. Initially they pretend to be nice to take your money. Once they have received your bank account details, you would have to chase them for your lessons .”
