Turner Swim - One to one adult swimming lessons

"I am just reaching the end of my head up breaststroke to front crawl course with Katie and have been really impressed by both Katie and the course content. I swam front crawl (badly) at school and as an adult kept plodding away with breaststroke but more recently felt I wanted to learn to do front crawl ‘properly’. Really liked that the course was both structured and also 1:1. This meant it was at my pace allowing focus on areas which I needed extra support on and going more quickly through areas which were less challenging. Katie is a great instructor, patient, encouraging, puts you at ease and makes sure you fully understand the lesson and how best to improve. The course meant starting again from scratch and building up from the basics and this has really worked for me. I am feeling so much more confident about being able to breathe correctly rather than barely being able to make it to the end of a length. Also feel more equipped to self correct helping me to keep going for longer. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to learn front crawl from scratch or like me who has struggled to get going with it. Katie is the perfect instructor to set you off on your front crawl journey and am looking forward to coming back and making improvements to my new found skill."

"My swimming lessons with Katy have been great. Katy is lovely, very patient and highly knowledgable. She was able to explain simply what improvements/changes I needed to make and then helped me put them into practice. I really enjoyed the sessions, felt I had achieved my goal (of learning breaststroke) and my confidence in the water has improved significantly. I cannot recommend Katy more highly. Anyone who is looking to learn to swim or improve their swimming will learn a lot from her."

"Katie is a great swim instructor and the course was well worth the time and money. In 5 hours I’ve gone from being unable to front crawl to having a technique beyond what I thought I would be capable of, All thanks thanks to Katies instructions, advice and encouragement. Although it is humbling to have to wear armbands again, it is worth pushing through up because I’ve now got a skill for life. I’d put off learning front crawl for years because it’s embarrassing to be a beginner but that embarrassment soon left once I met Katie and got moving. Definitely recommend and can’t wait to do a stroke improver."

"THANK YOU KATIE @ Turner Swim, Manchester! I honestly can't recommend these lessons enough. I did the 5 session 'breaststroke to front crawl/freestyle' programme and after the last session had a big happy cry in the changing rooms. Background: I can swim comfortably, but always breaststroke and head out of the water; I got a lot of anxiety around breathing / water going up my nose and down my throat and never felt able or fit enough to do front crawl. However, I've started swimming more regularly and wanted to be able to swim as I've always wanted to and to do longer distances. Katie was patient and listened to my worries and anxieties, and was always encouraging and supportive. She gently pushed me to challenge myself and have confidence in my progress - I went from not being able to do a couple of paces without stopping and standing / spluttering / panicking, to now swimming 100m+ at a time with comfortable front crawl stroke and breathing. This has completely changed how I can enjoy my regular swims (indoor and outdoor) and I can see that my stamina is building up. So happy I decided to invest in the lessons."

"I just finished lessons with Katie to improve my technique and confidence. I'm so glad I took the lessons as I made so much progress over the few weeks. Katie was a fantastic instructor and would definitely recommend for anyone at any stage of their swimming journey!"
