What are people saying (AI review summary)? The British Swim School in South Lyon garners mostly positive feedback, with many reviews highlighting the fantastic staff, patient and knowledgeable instructors, and the significant confidence children gain in the water. Small class sizes and personalized attention are frequently praised, contributing to a comfortable learning environment for both children and adults. The facility is generally described as clean and well-maintained in positive accounts. However, there are notable negative points, including a 'brutal' experience due to a lack of working air-conditioning, which led to an uncomfortably hot, stuffy, and perceived unsafe environment. Another administrative concern raised is the issue of recurring monthly charges continuing for months after unenrollment, suggesting a disconnected billing system.

British swim in south Lyon has been amazing! The staff, swim instructors and the facility are fantastic. One thing I’ve actually come to love is when we have used our make up classes, our girls have gotten to receive instruction from different teachers. That has been very beneficial for them and how they learn from different people. Both girls are so confident in the water now and as parents my husband and I couldn’t be more thrilled!

The overall swim experience is good. no complaints. Keep an eye on recurring monthly charged once you end up unenrolling. Their system is disconnected. I was charged 3 months after unenrolling.

Brutal Experience – Felt Like a Sauna, Not a Swim School I don’t know what kind of operation British Swim School is running, but keeping the place open with NO working air-conditioning is wild. It was so hot inside, I felt like I was being poached—and I wasn’t even the one swimming. The air was thick, the smell of chlorine and sweat was unbearable, and everyone looked like they were one degree away from passing out. Parents were fanning themselves and kids looked miserable. At one point I seriously considered jumping in the pool fully clothed just to survive. How is this okay?? It’s not safe, it’s not professional, and it sure isn’t the kind of environment where anyone should be learning to swim. Fix the AC or close the doors—don’t cook your customers alive. Will not be returning unless the temperature drops 20 degrees and common sense returns with it.

I joined the adult swim program at British Swim School of South Lyon, and it has been a fantastic experience! The small class sizes allow for personalized attention, making learning so much easier. The instructors are patient and knowledgeable, creating a comfortable environment for swimmers of all levels. Plus, the facility is always clean and well-maintained. Highly recommend!

My 6 year old has been attending British Swim in South Lyon for almost 4 months or so now. She has gained so much confidence since starting classes there! Not just confidence while in the water but every instructor she's worked with has been extremely encouraging and helpful. She looks forward to her class every week and we look forward to watching her improve and enjoy herself with the staff and fellow swimmers.
