Swim Now Avis 

I learned to swim in Cheltenham with Swim Now teacher Isabella. I am 71 years old and had almost given up hope of learning to swim. With Isabella’s thoughtful, patient and skilled guidance I am now, after 13 lessons, a confident swimmer. I enjoyed every single one of the lessons and cannot recommend Isabella highly enough.

I have lessons with David and cannot thank him enough! Always shows me which part I need to improve with patience, and motivates me whenever I gave up, thanks a lot!

My daughter has been having lessons for about 8 months with Swim Now. We had a few issues with lessons being cancelled and not being notified. Then trying to reschedule them became a whole other issue. I have recently tried to cancel the lessons altogether. I have provided the requested one months written notice and asked when our last lesson will be, when the last payment will be, and for a refund for 2 lessons we are owed (due to them rescheduling and then cancelling). The customer service is terrible. I have not had a response and doubt I'll get my refund. They are an absolute nightmare to deal with.

I had a really good taster swimming lesson with swim now. Anya was very patient, friendly and explained everything clearly, which made me feel comfortable throughout the session. It was a positive experience, and I’d definitely recommend Swim Now to anyone looking to start swimming lessons.

Been brilliant bringing my 8 year old daughter, confidence back up before we go on holiday

Was a good experience. I was given advise and tips to improve. I have improved and I just need loads of practise

Sabrina (maids vale branch) is a wonderful instructor, professional and friendly, my daughter has come on leaps and bounds on a life saving skill of swimming/floating.

Swim Now is fantastic overall & I would never consider going anywhere else, or recommending another place to learn how to swim. My coach Sabrina is fantastic. She’s kind, patient, funny, and always shows up ready to make you the best swimmer you can possibly be. The swimming experiences she’s had in her personal life makes her the best teacher you could ask for. Sabrina makes each lesson fun, goes at your own pace, and never fails to make you feel comfortable. She’s one in a million and makes me look forward to both of our swimming lessons each week!

I would highly recommend Swim Now, especially my coach, Sabrina.

The whole process was really easy from the start. It was simple to find Swim Now online, booking was straightforward, and I liked that I could have a trial session before committing to regular lessons. One thing to be aware of is that there is a minimum 3-month commitment when you sign up, but after that you can cancel if you wish.

Sabrina has been an amazing coach. She always sends me a text a few days before each lesson to remind me about my session, and if someone cancels before my slot, she'll let me know in case I'd like to come earlier, which I really appreciate.

The biggest difference has been my confidence in the water. Sabrina took me right back to the basics, focusing on breathing correctly and learning to float. She helped me understand exactly why I was sinking and running out of breath, rather than just trying to teach me to swim. She constantly watches my technique, gives clear feedback, and explains what I need to improve.

I've never felt this confident in the water before. I'm no longer afraid to put my face in the water or practise my breathing, which is something I never thought I'd say. I still have a little way to go before I can swim confidently, but I truly believe Sabrina will get me there.

On top of being a fantastic teacher, she's also really friendly and funny. She chats with you during the lesson, which helps you relax and makes every session enjoyable.

I can't wait for my next lesson with Sabrina!

I’ve had a fantastic experience learning to swim with Sabrina. She is incredibly patient, professional, and supportive, always taking the time to explain techniques clearly and helping me build my confidence in the water. Every lesson is well structured, encouraging, and enjoyable.

I’m truly grateful for all of Sabrina’s help, guidance, and encouragement throughout my swimming journey. Her positive attitude and dedication make a real difference, and I always leave each lesson feeling like I’ve made progress. I highly recommend Sabrina to anyone looking for an excellent swimming instructor. Thank you for everything!

My instructor is Jason. I lack confidence in the water and Jason has been helping me with that and also the flaws in technique. Even after 2 sessions with Jason I am feeling far more relaxed in water and starting to really enjoy swimming. Jason is very patient and has a great way of describing techniques in a way anyone can understand them he also takes time to walk through any areas for improvement, how to achieve goals and during the sessions sets realistic goals. I cannot recommend him enough

I had 6 hours of adult swim lessons with Meryl in the Filton branch and she was brilliant! Even from the taster lesson I felt more comfortable and confident in the water. She’s taught me many things that I never thought I’d be able to do and has helped me improve bad swimming habits. I can’t recommend enough!

Won’t give one star if I had the option! taking them to consumer protection as they have no ambitions to even respond to sorting refund after mis treating my Sen kids.STAY AWAY

I accepted these lesson are very expensive and as a result I expected a high quality of service, consistent lessons with a consistent teacher, their main selling point.

We signed up for a three month sessions. First three weeks, we had one lesson, two were cancelled, one 30 minutes before the lesson. This is not consistent teaching, this is not high quality teaching and this is not what we were sold, a breach of their promise and absolutely not the standard of provision we were sold. We were told their teacher needs to change, again we were sold consistency of a teacher.

I did manage to get a full refund and the direct debit cancelled, for which I am greatful. But this was only after a lot of phone calls. I understand staff may not be reliable, but as a paying customer this is not my problem to solve. I expect to have the option of a full refund because the service that I paid for was not provided - this is what happens with any business and I should not have to fight when they haven’t provided their service.

Coach Max has been excellent. My son has improved significantly, and we are extremely pleased with the progress he has made.

Thank you, Swim Now!

The experience I have received has been amazing. My instructor, Jason, in Liverpool has been excellent. He is very patient and adjusts his teaching to make it easier for you to understand. My confidence has grown so much in such a short space of time and I feel the improvements every session.

SwimNow has also been great, they get back to you quickly and resolve issues promptly. My best recommendations.

I was taught by Evelyn who was very patient and supportive. I’ve had lessons for five months and can now confidently swim front crawl (I’m an adult learner). Very happy with swim now

Jason Longworth is an amazing swimming teacher and good support for learners. After few lessons my daughter shows considerable improvement in her swimming. Thank you Jason.

My daughter wasn’t accepted into competitive swimming after her first assessment because she needed to improve some techniques. After three months of private lessons at Swim Now, her confidence and technique improved so much that she was accepted at her reassessment.

We’re very grateful for the excellent coaching and support throughout. I would highly recommend these private swimming lessons to anyone looking to help their child improve and achieve their swimming goals.

Beth was excellent - very friendly and accommodating, and gave me some very helpful tips.
