“Pete was an excellent coach and was patient with me. In the areas where I was struggling he was able tobcoms up with different options to overcome them. I was a beginner when I started and now I am able to swim very comfortably after the sessions with Pete.
Overall good service and would highly recommend”
“using swim now was a great experience for me personally. I was a complete beginner at age 47 as i was never taught to swim and had no water confidence at all, i wouldnt even put my head under the water I booked 3 lessons at the hilton east mids with Andy. It exceeded my expectations so much that i now am going to my local pool on my own and practicing which i would never have done before. Andy was a brilliant teacher.”
“I thought I could swim until I had to do an army swim test then I realised that the last time I had taken a swiming lesson was in primary school. At the age of 44 I thought swiming is easy until I tried doing continuous laps at this point I knew I needed help.
I looked on line and swim now came up with good review so i booked on for an initial 6 lessons with Peter.
At first was a bit embarrassing in a pool with a foam float but as Peter explained I was using mostly my arms and not my legs so the first few lessons were using my legs then breathing techniques and finally my arms once I had mastered the technique I did 16 lengths of the pool without stopping where initially I could only do 1 length without stopping. Highly recommend and it's fun too. Looking to book more to improve my swimming better”
“We would both like to thank Toby for everything we have learned.He was professional, and patient and thorough.We both still talk and do our drills,they are our Toby drills that we will never forget. I did the open water in Windermere this April,which I would not have attempted before my lessons.Can you please Thank Toby for us and tell him we would recommend him to others. We have a friend who is interested in learning to swim, and we know he would be great.Thanks again.Maggie and Angela”
“Dominique is fantastic and was quickly able to help both my son and me feel comfortable in the water. Very trust worthy and great approach to teaching that i felt more confident and motivated to achieve my goals. My son thoroughly enjoys his lessons too”
“What started out great for my son as a very underconfident water person, it soon went down hill for me as there is just too much going on in one lesson for my liking, the aim I was hoping for by the end of this 12 weeks was that he would be able to swim slightly especially for the cost of the sessions. Instead he is a crying mess after each lesson as I personally think he’s trying to teach him too many techniques in one class! Can’t wait for the 12 weeks to be over as I know dread taking him.”
Hi Vicky,
I'm sorry to hear that your son didnt respond well to our lessons. Peter is a fantastic teacher and is usually able to get the best from most pupils.
For a small percentage of children the 1-1 lesson environment can be a bit daunting, we'll keep trying to get the best out of each lesson.
Best wishes, Alistair Mills, Owner, Swim Now
“Started to learn to swim after hsving my 60th birthday. My coach Oliver was fantastic and adapted my lessons to help me overcome my fear of drowning and got me swimming after week 4. One to one tuition gave me the confidence and support I needed to succeed. Thank you Oliver”
“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”
“After only 3 lessons, Chris had boosted my confidence and I was swimming 2 lengths of the pool. He is very knowledgable and responds to the learners needs. Thanks to him and Swimnow.”
“I thoroughly enjoyed my lessons with SwimNow- whether you are completely new to entering into the water, to professional swimmers. Best swimming lessons to date”
“I couldn't thank Oliver enough I was petrified from water before my lesson f after a few lessons I could swim with out aid thankyou for pushing me. Sammy xx”
“Fantastic admin whilst booking initially. My swimming coach Chris was so supportive & personalised my lessons to my needs & learning preferences. The coach was keen that I progressed, I certainly didn’t feel he was stalling so I’d book more lessons which I imagine some schools would do. The pool was easy to get to, quiet, clean & a suitable depth. I’d definitely book again if needed or take my daughter in the future.”
“I have had a fantastic experience with SwimNow. My instructor was so lovely and patient, and really took the time to explain things clearly and in a way I would understand. I was able to learn swimming faster than I thought I would, and have built so much confidence in the pool. Thank you so much!”
“The teacher was very good and I did learn a lot.
I think that the swimming pool could be improve, sometimes was full with the hotel guests and was not very clean.”
