“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”
“I have to say the facilities for a 4 I/2 year old were poor. He is currently a member in third space in London. We were hoping that he would have lessons during his time here. I was pleased to get a place but found it very uninviting. It certainly wasn’t appealing in anyway. That is no reflection on the instructor. I also thought it overpriced fit what it was. I was a member of this particular club many years ago and didn’t feel it had improved that much.”
“We bought an introductory lesson and, whilst the instructor was very pleasant, it did not really fulfill our needs unfortunately. We are both decent swimmers looking to improve whilst avoiding further injury and, although this was explained to the very pleasant gentleman who contacted me initially, it did not appear to have been communicated to the instructor. As a result, we both felt it was rather a waste of time and money for us. Probably better for beginner swimmers.”
“This is a great idea for adults who want to learn to swim, unfortunately I don't think my instructor realised how afraid of swimming I actually was and went a bit too fast for me which has put me off.”
“Swim coach Andy was brilliant, however, contact from Swim Now is dreadful. We waited 6 months after paying initial deposit and when emailing them to chase up anything, they never replied. We unfortunately had to miss one lesson due to child sickness when i picked him up from school and didn’t want him to be sick in the pool. Although I messaged Andy to inform him of this, it was counted as a lesson as it wasn’t 24 hours notice. I emailed Swim Now but again they didn’t bother even replying to me. Lessons are good but very expensive, will be looking for a 1-2-1 lesson at my local pool for a third of the price!”
“Hi I had Janet...at Crewe Hall fir my 2 boys, she was very good and gave them looks of confidence.
Down side, expensive and lessons need to be slightly longer.”
“Good and accommodating swimming teachers, however the prices for private tuition/ lessons are very expensive compared to other companies, in fact SwimNow rates are almost double the rates of other reputable swimming companies in similar location. Otherwise good level of service so far. Best wishes”
“It was lovely to see my grandson on his first taster session. Sadly the lessons are more expensive at an hourly rate of £90 than getting a pilots licence so I cannot afford to continue and will look for a cheaper option.”
“The instructor is amazing I can not fault her, from the first moments of the first lesson it's been fantastic, as a grown man there was a certain element of self awareness having swimming lessons at my age, but that was dispelled immediately. The only problem and why it's not got 5 stars is the size of the pool is small, so sometimes it can feel crowded and also it's not very long to let you get a rhythm going in it before you have to stop again. Otherwise I would've give it 5 stars”
“Monika my swim instructor was very good and understood the areas of my stroke that needed work. However it isn't conducive to learning when using a relatively small hotel swimming pool that is open to all at the time of the lesson. It's hard to hear and you are having to dodge other people as you try to swim a length.”
