Swim Now Avis 

Dive in and take the plunge.

the fantastic instructors offer the perfect opportunity to get one 2 one lessons to suit all levels and the ease to go at a pace that is so personal centred for all abilities.

After decades of avoiding the water due to poor breathing, neck pain, and a total lack of confidence, I saw a Facebook post for Swim Now and booked 6 sessions at Bannatyne Health Club &Spa in Milton Keynes.
My instructor, Elyse, completely changed everything for me. She is incredibly patient, highly encouraging, and gently pushed me out of my comfort zone. By the end of my very first lesson, I was breathing easily and feeling confident!
She clearly explained proper breaststroke techniques and corrected my old habits. Now, my confidence and coordination grow with every session, and I even enjoy practicing on my own.
A huge thank you, Elyse! You are a fantastic instructor. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their swimming. 👏👏👏

My daughter and I had swimming lessons with Nina at the Everlast gym/Leisure centre in Pytchley , Kettering.

Nina is a great swimming teacher with calm and gentle approach and temperament. She is patient and very encouraging.

Nina will work with you at your pace but also ensuring that you are getting your money’s worth.

With both improved our swimming technique within a couple of weeks of lessons with Nina.

I've been really impressed with my children's swimming lessons with Swim Now. They were easy to arrange at a time that worked best for us. They love Ben their swimming instructor and look forward to going to their lesson each week. Ben is really knowledgeable and patient with them and really great with my daughter who has additional needs. They really trust him. He always provides an update on their progress at the end of each lesson and they're making lots of progress. Glad we made the switch from another provider.

We’ve had a fantastic experience! My son absolutely loved his swimming lessons. His instructor, Ben, is incredible—he built a great rapport right away and made learning to swim genuinely fun while building his confidence in the water. I would definitely recommend Ben to anyone looking for a skilled, friendly instructor!

Elise (Milton Keynes) is a very kind and considerate swimming teacher. She is very encouraging and is aware that I have a fear of water unless I can either touch the floor or have a buoyancy aid.
As my journey continues with her I am sure these challenges will be overcome.
The only negatives are that 1) the lanes are quite narrow, and 2) the entry to the pool is through the disabled toilet/changing area. This is difficult if there is someone in there. And didn’t seem clean enough to use after my lesson.

My instructor Asal is very nice friendly person. She engages me so well ,teaches so well . I was afraid of water and have health condition but she made me feel comfortable and confident so I joined her even tho it was out of my budget. Thnx to her I am comfortable and steady in water , health is getting better also .

I booked 2:1 lessons for my daughter and I. Our instructor is a lovely lady called Asal at Bannatynes in Chingford. Asal has been brilliant. She is a friendly, professional, patient and incredibly knowledgeable. We have learnt so much in such a short space of time. I cannot recommend her enough!

Can not recommend Swim Now enough. Asal is a wonderful instructor, she was very patient with my daughter as she got comfortable in the water. Now my daughter looks forward to her swimming lessons every week.

we had a great experience in swim now. everyone was professional and accommodating. my partner and i did the 2:1 lessons. we love our instructor Liam. he tailored our training based on our goals. he’s great instructor, you can tell he loves swimming and teaching. we came from not being able to swim a length to doing multiple lengths in a session. we highly recommend swim now and Liam.

Had a great experience with Swim Now. My swimming teacher, Asal, was very friendly, patient and professional. She explained everything clearly and made me feel comfortable and confident during the lessons. I’ve really enjoyed learning with her and would definitely recommend her to others.

We have been having lessons with Elyse in Milton Keynes, and she has been absolutely fantastic.

My daughter previously attended group swimming lessons but had very little confidence or ability. After just one session with Elyse, the difference was remarkable. Getting her to group lessons had always been a challenge, but now she eagerly asks when she can go and is genuinely excited about swimming.

Elyse took the time to listen, understand my daughter’s needs, and adapt her approach accordingly. She made her feel comfortable and confident almost immediately, and her swimming has improved dramatically as a result.

I would highly recommend the team in Milton Keynes, and especially Elyse. She has had such a positive impact on my daughter’s confidence and ability, and we couldn’t be happier.

Great swimming lessons from instructor Elyse. Gradually improving and enjoying the swimming sessions.
Genci.

Elyse helped me so much I can’t thank her enough. From the taster lesson to my last lesson she was always very welcoming, encouraging and kept in communication when needed.
I only did a short course of 6x 30 minute sessions with Elyse and the improvements I have made as a nearly 40 year old man, who couldn’t swim, are amazing, I am so much more confident in my ability and while I still need to practice my back strokes I can now happily swim lengths.

I would highly recommend Elyse to all levels and also the spa/gym she is located in (very friendly staff who remember your name)

Swim now as a company made the whole process for me very easy and did not make me feel pressured to do any big long courses and made me feel in control all the way.

Thank you for helping me achieve a life goal I have wanted to do for many years.

Asal is an amazing swim teacher she is gentle and kind and lets you take your time when she’s teaching. For me i am quite scared of water but she makes me feel more confident when learning to swim.

My swimming instructor, Asal, from Swim Now, is professional, patient, and highly supportive. She explains techniques clearly and adapts her teaching to fit my individual needs using different approaches to help me improve my swimming. As someone with breathing difficulties, I appreciate her patience and understanding as she takes the time to make sure I feel comfortable and confident during my lessons. Even when I feel I’m not making as much progress as I’d like, she continues encouraging me and building my confidence. My experience with Swim Now has been excellent, and it’s clear they provide high-quality instructors who genuinely care about helping their students succeed. I’d recommend both Asal and Swim Now to anyone looking for professional, supportive, and effective swimming lessons.

Ben at SwimNow is a fantastic instructor. Communication was great throughout, and thanks to his teaching I’ve really gained confidence in the water. I was even able to swim in the sea for the first time on holiday — something I never thought I’d do. Highly recommend!

What a great experience thus far, I've had quite a few lessons with Fransesca and I've already gone from doggy paddling/ erratically splashing in the water to SWIMMING. It's entirely different to trying to swim by yourself, the instructor really breaks it down for you and all you need to focus on is one little step at a time. I am so so so glad I went for it. Best investment.

Asal The instructor at Bannatyne Health Club in Chingford is absolutely amazing! She’s so patient with my 4 year old son, and he’s been really excited about swimming lessons. He’s been feeling more confident in the water lately, and the lessons have even helped him improve his speech. Now, when he gets excited about swimming lessons, he says, ‘swimming’!

Absolutely brilliant swim lessons ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We honestly cannot recommend Swim Now enough, and in particular Marley’s swimming teacher, Abby. (Milton Keynes)

Abby has been absolutely exceptional with Marley. In such a short space of time, she has managed to build his confidence in the water and, most importantly, has really clicked with him. She has such incredible patience, kindness and humour, and she always seems to know exactly how to encourage him in a way that works for him.

Seeing Marley become more confident and comfortable in the water has been amazing, and I genuinely think Abby has played such a huge part in that. She makes his lessons fun and positive while still encouraging him to push himself, and it’s lovely to see how much he enjoys going.

We are so grateful to Abby for all the time, patience and understanding she gives Marley. She really is exceptional at what she does, and we couldn’t ask for a better teacher for him. 💙🏊‍♂️
