Pete at Swim Now in sheffield took me from a very basic front crawl (doggy paddle) to a highly efficient, low effort stroke in 3 lessons. I am 45 years old and had never learned freestyle before. He has taught me excellent drills and practice routines. He has a friendly manner and really built up my confidence. Can't recommend highly enough. Thanks Pete!

I opted to get swimming lessons with SwimNow to improve my stroke and am very happy I did. The lessons are constructive and positive and my front crawl is already miles better than it was after only three lessons.

At 59 I decided it was time to try and overcome my fear of water and learn to swim. Having had a couple of goes at group adult swimming lessons with no success I thought I'd give one to one tuition a go and booked 6 one hour lessons with SwimNow at the Radisson Hotel in Durham. I cannot speak highly enough of Tom Forrester my swimming teacher with SwimNow. His friendly, down to earth attitude put me at ease from the very beginning. His patience and encouragement took me from being unable to put my face anywhere near the water, to today, my last lesson when I swam unaided! I never thought I'd be able to do it, thank you Tom!

My wife and I wanted to be more confident in the water snd improve our technique. Swim now offered excellence advice and sourced out a venue convenient to us. The instructor Chris Britt was an excellent instructor. Giving us clear concise instruction in a lovely friendly manner. The time passed by so quickly and we both really benefited from his tuition. I would recommend swim now to anyone. Excellent service well done!

I have been wanting to learn how to swim for many years. I've taken lessons before elsewhere but the lessons with Pete at SwimNow have been on a completely different level. His knowledge and teaching methods are unmatched. So far I have had 4 lessons with Pete and can honestly say he is a great instructor who knows his stuff. And more importantly he has great people skills, he is patient and understanding. The lessons with Pete are at a perfect pace, progress isn't too slow or too fast. After each lesson you feel like you have made good progress.

Amazing service and instructor. One of the best things I've ever done. Lisa was my swimming instructor and she is genuinely talented. I've had a lot of swimming lessons in my life, having had a scary experience when I was young and now in my fifties thought I'd never be a swimmer, but Lisa not only has helped me learn to swim, but I enjoy swimming now! The price may seem a lot to some but its worth every penny. They were accommodating and flexible in terms of time, you keep all lessons you pay for even if you can't make a session they accommodate for that. Great customer service.

Pete is excellent teacher. I thought it will be hard for me to learn to swim as adult but Pete gives me the confidence in every lesson and makes you feel comfortable right from the beginning. I would definitely recommend swim now and Pete for swimming lessons.

My 5 year old started swimming lessons with Holly two weeks ago and I am so impressed by how well he is doing already. Not only is he loving it and doesn't seem afraid at all, he is already floating on his back and swimming a short way on his back unaided by Holly or floats. Holly is great with him, taking a very hands on positive approach and getting the most out of our time in each lesson. We are so pleased we signed up to lessons with her as she is clearly giving him great confidence and enjoyment of the water already.

Been having lessons for 6 weeks now with Chris Britt at Stratford. My 9 year old daughter is making great progress, she is also really enjoying the lessons. Chris is a good coach with many years of experience.

I've been having lessons with Pete and have found them to be extremely enjoyable. With every lesson I've gained quite a lot through practicing all the different drills. I would highly recommend these lessons for anyone looking to improve their technique. I've become so much more efficient in my swimming and look forward to getting into the water more and more thanks to these lessons

Nick is incredibly patient, professional and knowledgeable. He has a great teaching technique, very clearly explained and focused exercises. He breaks things down in a way I could understand and I feel I made real progress in such a short time as my swimming and confidence in the water were noticeable after just one lesson. He is getting in the water and swimming along side you, allowing you to build your confidence and to see the technique in a more practical way for you to apply. He worked on getting me comfortable and relaxed in the water and to trust myself more. I would highly recommend Nick to anyone at any level wanting to improve their swimming or learn how to swim.

Pete has been great in helping me to learn the front crawl so that I will be able to compete in triathlons. The swim was the bit I was least looking forward to training for but I am really enjoying being in the water now thanks to the expert tuition and enthusiasm of my instructor. I love the varied drills and look forward to my weekly lesson. Can’t recommend it enough.

From the moment we met Nick he has been excellent. He takes a great hands on approach and is very patient. His coaching has allowed someone; who previously could not swim, swim by themselves and obtain new skills. I would highly recommend Nick

I had my swimming lessons with Nick and he is a brilliant instructor. I haven't been swimming before. He helped me to overcome the fear of water and I was able to float at the end of 1st session. I am more than satisfied with my progress and looking forward to the next sessions. Highly recommended!

Amy has been a fantastic teacher for me learning as an adult non-swimmer. I've done 3 hours worth of lessons so far and I'm very happy with my progress so far - will definitely be buying more lessons!

Have just completed a series of tuition with Lisa at Swimnow Liverpool. Thanks to her patience and encouragement I am now able to swim Breaststroke. I intend to continue practicing and improve my confidence in the pool. I am so so glad to have contacted Swimnow and booked the lessons

My two children had joint swimming lessons initially with Zoe & recently with Sam. Both were incredibly kind, enthusiastic and positive. My son previously had a bad experience with a different swimming company & had a strong fear of water. The girls helped him to work through his fears and after 12 lessons he can jump in, tread water and completed his 10m. Seeing him enjoying the pool and desperate for the next lesson & confident in the water has been wonderful & well worth every penny. My daughter has thoroughly enjoyed her lessons too & at only 4 has developed some good swimming skills. I’m very pleased we made the choice to put them through lessons with swim now & big thanks to Sam & Zoe for their hard work.
