Hi my name is Ryan, I teach at Rugby Everlast fitness Club on Thursdays, Saturdays And Sundays and Leicester Hilton Hotel on Fridays and Saturdays. I am from Burbage where I live with my Partner, we are both in teaching roles helping to educate others.
I became a teacher 5 years ago, because I enjoyed sharing my skills and knowledge to improve the swimming ability of others. Since then I have helped many people learn to swim, I love getting feedback from clients which helps me develop my teaching skills further.
I was once a beginner swimmer, but over the years I improved on all my strokes getting faster and stronger. I did a Swimathon in 2018 and swam the 5K race, coming in second place on the leader board. This shows that does not matter where you start, anything is possible, with the right training, time and patience you can achieve amazing swimming results.
In my free time I go the gym and as a Personal Trainer I like to stay fit and healthy.
Ryan has been teaching our children for a couple of months now, after bribing them to get to the first lesson they now can’t wait to go swimming!! Their confidence and ability has skyrocketed and they have a great relationship with Ryan who is patient, kind and encouraging, would recommend Ryan on very highly
Ryan has been an amazing swimming teacher with my daughter and nephew. They have formed an excellent teacher-student relationship with him and really look forward to their lessons. They have both gone from non swimmers to both being confident in the water. We continue to look forward to their future lessons and seeing just what they can achieve with the best teacher.
Ryan is brilliant. So patient with my daughter but manages to make each lesson fun and enjoyable for her. She has progressed so much and that is down to Ryan’s hard work with her. She enjoys swimming now and I now feel confident enough for her to be on her own in a pool.
My son has been attending swimming lessons with Ryan, since September 2021.
Ryan is professional, patient and makes every swimming lesson fun, challenging and interesting. My son is 6 years old and had never swam before starting lessons with Ryan. Since starting swimming lessons last September, my son has made significant progress. He is also really confident around water and has learned 4 different swimming strokes, and is able to swim under water.
I am so impressed, and we are lucky to have Ryan as my sons teacher.
I like Ryan’s teaching style. Both myself and my son who is 6 years old are being taught by Ryan how to swim. I refused to swim as a child due to fear of water but with Ryan’s expertise l have now overcome that fear. Each week l see my progress. His also very patient and friendly and my son looks forward to his lessons with Ryan. I had tried other tutors but they were not as patient as Ryan so l cancelled my lessons and got in touch with swim now. I would highly recommend Ryan. You wont regret it!
Ryan is an excellent teacher, patient but precise so you know exactly what you need to do to improve.
My 7 year old daughter started with Ryan as a non swimmer and not really confident in water. Within 4 lessons she was able to jump into water she could not stand in and was already swimming on her back un aided. Ryan mixes the lessons up each week while keeping them fun my daughter is always excited for her Sunday lesson. After each session Ryan talks to you about how the session went and what he’s looking at doing next week. We’re around 12 lessons in and my daughter is able to swim all strokes un aided as well as able to tread water, she’s also gained her stage 5 certificate and badge. I couldn’t recommend Ryan enough!
My daughter started swimming lessons with Ryan in January , she had gone from having very little confidence in the water to a level where she is confident & starting to swim independently. Ryan is very patient, friendly & has a good teacher / student relationship with my daughter which has enabled her to look forward to swimming lessons each week.
Fantastic teacher. Learnt so much more in a small space of time
The individual tuition is the great selling point of the Swim Now courses. As an older learner it takes me more time to improve steadily over the course of lessons. My instructor Ryan , though, is very patient and encouraging, even when progress appears slow. He obviously loves swimming himself and readily transmits this enthusiasm during the lessons. He takes care to bring variety and fun into the sessions, though he is also capable of pushing you hard! Much to be recommended.
Ryan has a great talent to teach kids. My son previously attended swimming classes elsewhere for 2 years and over that whole time he learned only how to float. With Ryan he learned swimming front crawl and backstroke within 30 minutes of the free taster class. I cannot recommend Ryan highly enough.
Ryan is an amazing teacher . He helped our 5 year old overcome fear of water . Our son would hesitate to dip his head in water. Within few classes , he was confident to jump into pool and put his head in water .His techniques are tailored to individual needs .
Lessons with SwimNow are an excellent way to learn or improve your swimming. My 6 year old has been having lessons with Ryan in Rugby and has excelled in water confidence, stamina and variety of strokes in a short space of time. Ryan really understands a child’s ability and has a great teaching technique to get the best swimming achievement while having fun. My son really looks forward to his lesson each week, it is a joy to watch him enjoying his lesson and develop as a confident swimmer each week.
Excellent teacher and patient. Ryan instructs our two children and they are progressing well and enjoy the lessons. Would recommend Ryan.
Ryan is a great instructor, patient, friendly and knowledgeable. He makes lessons fun but challenging. The improvement in my water confidence and swimming strokes has been huge.
I had a trial lesson last week with Ryan.
I was very nervous at the start but Ryan calming influence reassured me.
He has a very calming approach to teaching in a very
Today I start a course of 6 sessions and I am looking forward to this challenge
Ryan was an excellent teacher!… patient and encouraging whilst driving me to improve. His personable and friendly style quickly built trust and I felt I could ask anything. I immediately received some really useful advice and tips which helped enormously and then continued to build on that in my lessons ! Highly recommend Ryan to anyone !

Ryan taught my 9 year old son for 6 months. In that short time he brought on his swimming strokes immensely and my son is now so much more confident in the water. He took my son’s somewhat challenging behaviours at times in his stride and through his calm and patient approach he was able to nurture him. We would definitely recommend Ryan to anyone looking to further their swimming skills!
Ryan is an amazing instructor, he has a perfect teaching style, our daughter had a fear of water from being pushed into a pool resulting in a hospital stay. Not only is our daughter now confident in the water, she looks forward to going swimming. We can’t thank Ryan enough. Highly recommend him.
Ryan is amazing. He have me so much confidence in myself and made everything look so easy that after my first ever lesson I ditched the pool pads and swimmed half a pool . I look forward to go back to improve my strokes. Thank you Ryan!
Ryan is an amazing swim teacher. He is so calm and able to adapt to both of my children’s needs. I would recommend Ryan without hesitation.
Ryan is amazing! Such a loss to both my kids Zayn and Zara. Such a pleasant young man who has such a brightn future ahead of him . Wishing you all the best Ryan!
Ryan is a fantastic teacher, our 5 year old who is not a morning person is up early and always happy on swim days with Ryan..
he has been very patient with her and she is making fantastic progress under his guidance. I would thoroughlybrecommend Ryan
Ryan is a brilliant teacher very patient and a really nice guy. Both our boys have improved massively at swimming and the youngest confidence has grown hugely.
My son and I have weekly lessons with Ryan and I cant speak highly enough about him as a teacher, a person, and a friend. He has taught my son, confidence, belief, and a great swimming style, and my son always looks forward to his lessons. I tried swimming again after many many years and to help after certain physical conditions. Ryan has been so patient and supportive with me, and is the reason why I am now a better swimmer and more controlled in the watetr. Thank you Ryan.
Ry has been a fantastic teacher . Ry is a great motivator and have a natural skills of teaching.
Ryan is a brilliant coach, he is very professional and calm. From a non swimmer to a brave swimmer under 2months.
I will strongly recommend him .
It was the best decision we made booking our 5 year old daughter into 1:1 swim coaching with Ryan at Swim Now. He was absolutely brilliant with her and she not only achieved the swim goals we hoped for, she smashed them! After just 3 hours 1:1, our little girl went from a nervous non-swimmer to an independent swimmer who can’t wait to get in the pool. We highly recommend Ryan as a Swim Coach.
Ryan was an excellent teacher with my daughter. When she first met Ryan she was scared of being in the pool, but with his calmness, patience and ability to make it fun, she became confident in the water and looked forward to every lesson. She progressed really quickly and we can’t thank Ryan enough
Ryan is fantastic swim teacher, my 7year old boy loved attending his swim sessions with Ryan.Ryan is very patient and able to have good report with children.
I recommend Ryan as a fantastic teacher for children and adults.
My son came to swim with Ryan. His an amazing swim instructor understands young children keeps them happy while swimming. The progress he has made is brillant. Highly recommend
Amazing teacher for my 8 year old daughter. My daughter is autistic and is pre verbal, I’ve got to say that Ryan is brilliant with her and so patient in his teaching. He’s taught her so much, because of Ryan’s teaching my daughter will progress in to a brilliant swimmer!!
I’ve really enjoyed having lessons with Ryan. He’s a great guy – patient, fun, knowledgeable and always brings energy and commitment to each lesson. I wanted to take my very basic ability to swim and improve my technique – which Ryan has been great at doing. Very easy to recommend!
My children transferred over to 2:1 lessons with Ryan after their progress had plateaued at their previous provider.
They immediately enjoyed their lessons with Swim Now & the progress my son made in just 3 weeks was phenomenal.
Ryan has a caring, professional & practical approach to teaching. He engages with my children so well to get the best from them during their lessons.
From a practical perspective, Ryan is able to manage my children’s difference in ability within the same lesson very well, seeing & understanding their needs completely.
He uses the available pool space well to best suit what they are working on each week.
I would thoroughly recommend lessons with Ryan at Swim Now to see real progression & development.
Great experience working with Ryan. He helped me improve my front crawl in ways I wouldn’t have thought of previously. Highly recommend!
