“When my son first started swimming lessons somewhere else, he really lacked confidence. But once he began his one-on-one lessons at Swim Now, he improved so quickly and now absolutely loves being in the water! I honestly can’t recommend Swim Now enough — they’ve given him so much confidence!”
“I’m almost finished with my swimming lessons at Swim Now, and it’s been a fantastic experience!
Stanislava is an amazing instructor patient, supportive, and very professional. The lessons were relaxed and never stressful.
I couldn’t swim before and was afraid of the water, but now I feel confident and can swim comfortably.
Highly recommend Swim Now and Stanislava to anyone who wants to learn in a positive, encouraging environment!”
“I’ve had a fantastic experience with Swim Now, and I can’t recommend them highly enough.
Shona is an amazing teacher, patient, kindhearted, and incredibly supportive. She’s very attentive and tailors each session to exactly what you want to improve, making the whole experience so worthwhile.
Despite a few challenges from the spa users, Shona handled everything with absolute professionalism, integrity, and calm, taking it all in her stride.
I originally joined to polish up my breaststroke and build more confidence in the pool, and I’m proud to say I’ve achieved that! Each week, we worked on my technique and confidence step by step, and I’ve seen real progress.
If you’re looking for a swim teacher who genuinely cares about your progress and makes learning enjoyable, I’d highly recommend Shona and Swim Now. Keep it up 👏🏽”
“At 61 and impending retirement I decided to finally get my swimming phobia resolved.
Years of avoiding water and not enjoying family holidays due to water avoidance is now dead.
The 1 - 1 teaching has been excellent. Natalie quickly identified my weakness and has taught me how to swim backwards in 5 lessons.
Her quick analysis has allowed me to be more confident in the water and I fully expect to be to swimming fully when my course of lesson is complete.
This has been an excellent experience and I cannot thank Natalie enough for her patients and expertise.
I highly recommend these 1 - 1 swimming lesson and Natalie as a teacher.

“Taking lessons with swim now was life changing for me. Building confidence throughout where I can now consider myself a swimmer. Jamie my instructor in Glasgow was brilliant throughout. Highly recommend! Stuart”
“I’m 46 years old. It’s never too late. I had my first lesson today with one of Swimnow’s instructors. Worth going just to hang out at the plush hotel 😂. But seriously, Chang, my instructor was excellent and really helped me to start getting over my childhood trauma of having buckets of water thrown over my head by simply reminding me of what I’m supposed to be doing instead of remembering the past trauma which was causing the panic. By the end of the first taster lesson I was swimming 10m with noodles and a float. Dunking my head in the water without to much stress or anxiety, big thanks to Natalie for organising it and Chang for being soo calm and patient. You guys are the best!!”

“I can't recommend Andy the instructor highly enough. Made the whole journey for a poor swimmer, who was exhausted after a length of the pool, to one who was able to speak coherently after a number of lengths. Many thanks once again.”
“It was a great experience to do this swimming lessons. I'm a complete beginner for a start, gained my confidence in waters and so far I learned different strokes and hopefully just keep building them up. Kudos to my instructor Ian, who was so patient throughout the lessons.”
“Andy is an absolutely phenomenal swimming instructor from Swim now! We couldn't be happier with the progress our daughter has made under his guidance. When she started, she was a complete beginner, quite nervous about getting in the water. Andy's patience, calm demeanor, and incredibly encouraging approach completely transformed her experience.
He has a remarkable ability to connect with children, making every lesson fun and engaging. Our daughter looked forward to every session with Andy, and it was clear he genuinely cared about her development and confidence. He broke down each skill into manageable steps, celebrated every small victory, and always made her feel safe and supported.
Watching her go from being hesitant to confidently swimming and loving the water has been truly amazing. We highly recommend Andy to any parent looking for an exceptional swimming instructor. He's not just teaching a skill; he's fostering a love for the water and building incredible confidence!”
“Both my daughters have weekly lessons with Ian at Swim Now, they love it! They have gone from not being able to swim to be able to do many different strokes! He is patient, encouraging with my daughters and makes the lessons fun!”
“Amanda is teaching my son how to swim and that in itself is a challenge!
He's 15 and has only been allowed in water since April this year as he has had a tracheostomy all his life.
Today she got in the water with him and guided him as he is petrified.
I cannot thank her enough he came away with a smile on his face.”
“Sarah at Everlast Lincoln is a magician
She has taken a 64 year old from nothing to swimming in 6 weeks. Her attention to your hurdles is superb ( never pushing too far and willing to discuss and work around your issues as required) I did not have a fear of water but when I could actually swim I still had a major problem in starting under my own steam. Using a variety of methods we finally overcame my problem and guess what I CAN SWIM 🏊♂️ 🥳
I can’t recommend her highly enough.
For anyone out there considering one to one lessons go to Lincoln, Sarah will get you confident and swimming in no time
Thanks to all
Mark Dodson”
“My daughter has been having lessons with Stanislava after a poor experience in a leisure centre group. Stanislava has so much patience and listens to my daughter if she isn't sure about something. Stanislave has worked at my daughters pace to help her learn the movements in the water. My daughters loves her weekly lesson and her confidence is growing rapidly as is her swimming ability. I am delighted we took the leap and would recommend Stanislava very highly!”
““Thank you Neve so much for teaching me and my daughter how to swim! Your patience, kindness, and encouragement made all the difference. We truly appreciate your friendly and supportive approach, which made learning such an enjoyable experience. You’ve given us not just a skill but also confidence in the water. We’re so grateful!”
Massara & Mira ❤️”
“My partner and I can both swim at different levels. We wanted a block of lessons to look at and improve our technique so we can swim more efficiently. Our instructor Steven has been absolutely brilliant! We've picked up so many improvement techniques that we simply couldn't have done without the lessons. He's taught us drills that we can incorporate into our swim sessions to improve fitness as well as technique too.
If anyone is considering Swim Now, I would highly recommend. Whatever level you're at, be it complete beginner or improver, just go for it!”
“My son has been having swim lessons with Stanislava at the Culloden in Belfast. The lessons are tailor made to suit the needs of the new swimmer. Stanislava has been amazing. She has made the lessons fun and enjoyable for my son. You can really see the improvement from the first week. I would highly recommend to anyone thinking about joining swim now in Belfast to give it a go.”
“I started my lessons at 70 and found ALISHA to be wonderful, she was supportive, her communication was clear and she also ensured she was so patient and caring. I was extremely anxious and she did everything to put me at ease.
I have given her 5 stars as she really deserves that
The downside was the pool was often busy and as she did not have access to a roped off lane it was impossible for her to show me what to do and help me do it, without other swimmers bumping into me
This often impacted rhe lesson”
“Honestly it was really good, went in with no experience in the water at all, Neve was really understand and formed a plan so I could reach my goals around my schedule. Definitely recommend to anyone who needs to learn to swim but doesn’t know where to start.”
