Jasmine was very friendly and welcoming. This was very much appreciated as I was extremely anxious being unable to swim at all. She was very understanding regarding my fears of being in the water. She encouraged me but did not try to push me too far out of my comfort zone, just enough to help me gain some confidence. She listened to me and explained everything very well indeed. She gave me confidence that she was looking after my safety at all times. This was extremely important to me. My lessons continue.

Amy is an incredible swim coach who helped me, a front crawl novice who only managed 5 metres before I sank, to swimming in 8km in a year. It’s a real endorsement of Amy’s skill and motivation to encourage me to achieve amazing results.

I can’t recommend David highly enough as a swimming instructor. He is kind, friendly and attentive to my sons (Josh’s) needs. We joined Swim Now as I felt Josh wasn’t progressing as he should do at the local leisure centre. From the start of the first lesson David asked what we wanted him to focus on each week so he could tailor the lesson to Josh’s individual needs. Since then, Josh has gone from strength to strength and completed his 400m badge which we would never have achieved at the local centre. But the main thing to take from this is that David makes the lessons fun, interactive and is very relatable. He is also professional and has endless patience! So much so Josh has never said he doesn’t want to go swimming! I can’t thank David enough!

Byron has been a great teacher for our 8 year old son. He explains things clearly and pushes him just the right amount. Lessons have been fun and our son has improved significantly in just a few weeks!

I chose to have swimming lessons after having surgery and treatment for breast cancer. I needed to find an exercise that was low impact and that would help with my overall fitness and recovery. Byron has been absolutely amazing in helping me learn to swim. He is always considerate to ensure I am doing things at my own pace but at the same time offering encouragement to push myself to do my best. I honestly thought at 57 I wouldn’t be able to learn a new skill like swimming but after only a few lessons, I’m swimming and learning new techniques each lesson. Byron’s patience and understanding has given me the confidence to keep trying. Thank you !!!

I have been working with Mariam.I’m 47 year old chap and had little confidence in my ability to swim. Mariam has been thoughtful encouraging, and rigorous. She genuinely seems to believe in my potential to improve. Her belief and approach is producing results. I’m more confident, efficient in the water, and enjoy swimming so much more. I’ve worked with three different strokes and I’m growing in all three thanks to Mariam and SwimNow

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!
