What a fantastic experience! Joanne at Barnsley was amazing. She has taught me new skills and given me lots of confidence. I have loved my lessons!

My kids have been going to another swimming class since they were around a year old and I was getting frustrated with the little progress the were making - after just one session with Joanne their water confidence exploded! They are always asking me when the next class is! Joanne from Barnsley was absolutely fantastic with them, she was so patient with them both! Would definitely recommend!

We have been extremely impressed with Swimnow. My 7 year old grandson really enjoys the session. It used to be a challenge getting him to attend other swimming classes. But not now. My grandson loves going to the lesson. The fantastic coaching has enabled him to swim lengths in all 4 strokes, as well as confidently dive in and swim under water. He has made fantastic progress in all the 4 strokes. You would think he’s been going for years but in total he has achieved these goals in 9 half hour sessions over a period of 2-3 months. Great coaching by Lisa, who makes the session good fun and competitive. She quickly understands how to get the best out of her students. I would highly recommend Swimnow. I’ve tried other swimming schools and found the groups are too big so it takes much longer for the student to progress through the swimming stages. Swimnow is really great value for money. I like the ability to be more flexible to rearrange the session with appropriate notice unlike other contracts where you are not entitled to a refund if you miss the session.

I had a great taster session with Eve. I am not confident and get very nervous in water but Eve really put me at ease. So much so, that I was putting my face in the water - something I wouldn't have dreamed of doing in my first lesson! It was a really enjoyable experience and went too quick! Thank you Eve and Swim Now :)

I have enjoyed my swimming lessons with Bryony Walters very much. She is very good, patient and gives you the rationale behind what you are doing. So a big thumbs up to SwimNow UK & Bryony

I signed my 12-year-old daughter up for swimming lessons to give her more confidence in her swimming ability. Amy-Lee has a lovely manner and immediately put her at ease. She has worked with her on different techniques and I can already see how much my daughter has improved. Thank you. 😊

My 6 year old son has had 3 lessons so far with Gareth at Hilton Hotel Cardiff. I'm very pleased with how much he's achieved already, in such a short space of time. My son, a complete non swimmer, wasn't very confident in the water, but he's already gained confidence. Gareth has been great, and my son seemed to get on well with him immediately. I'm looking forward to seeing my son continue to learn new skills, and hopefully become a confident swimmer!

As an adult who can already swim I wanted some pointers to improve my technique and to build my confidence when it came to front crawl. This is exactly what Lisa did! She made me feel at ease and showed me different ways to train and improve. I would highly recommend Lisa.

My boys adore their lessons with instructor Amy-Lee. She is extremely kind and patient yet fun whilst also being an excellent teacher. In just a few weeks of lessons with her, they have both improved already. We are really happy to have found Amy-Lee and are keen to continue our lessons with her.

When I first enquired about swim now I thought that's too expensive but I decided to go for it because I was tired of taking my daughter swimming and stand there while she swims. I met Amy,my swimming instructor,she's so calm reassuring and approachable. That made me trust her and trust myself in the water. She has given methe confidence and the boost that I needed. Amy is an amazing swimming instructor and an incredible person. My daughter has met Amy and she loves Amy too. We love you Amy and keep the good work xx Bonny xx

A particular call out here to Amy-Lee my instructor. Firstly, however, I'd like to say the sign up and after sales service has been excellent too. However the real difference is the experience and careful attention of the instructor. My instructor, Amy-Lee, has thought hard about how to introduce me to swimming. She has worked to understand my fears and provides constant assurance as well as ways to get through them. I've come to trust how she teaches me and she is clear when I am making progress and why that matters. I feel confident I will learn to swim well with Amy-Lee and that's the first time I have been able to say that and I'm 54.

Holly is a great instructor and has boosted my confidence to a point where I am almost swimming without any floats. She keeps you calm and really helps you with the techniques

Booked my granddaughter (Niamh age 6) in for swimming lessons with Amy. She absolutely loves the lessons, her confidence has grown so much. I can’t praise Amy enough she is so inspiring and brilliant with children. Niamh doesn’t need reminding when it’s her swimming day! Niamh says- it is amazing because Amy helps me a lot, if I get something wrong Amy tells me how to do it and then I am able to do it right. I really like doing the pencil float and I have learnt how to swim and how to not hold my nose when I’m swimming and it’s harder when you flap your arms which is what I used to do. Amy is the best swimming teacher and very kind and always helps you. Xx

Although this is a relatively expensive service, what price safety? This is good value for money, one to one tuition from an excellent tutor (Amy-Lee in Cheshire). My son had an unpleasant experience during a group swimming lesson as a child and unfortunately it hampered further learning, until now he’s mature enough at 17, to rationalise the need to be safe and confident. He’s learning breathing techniques, strokes and style in a way that means he will exceed mere competence. His confidence in water has soared; he now has a healthy enthusiasm for taking part in swimming and water-based activities that he previously counted himself out of. As a parent, I can’t recommend the service & Amy-Lee in particular, highly enough.
