What are people saying (AI review summary)? The British Swim School receives overwhelmingly positive reviews, highlighting its exceptional instructors (Jamie, Matthew, Jeimy, Mrs. Drew) who are praised for their patience, expertise, and ability to make learning fun. Both children and adults, including infants as young as 7 months and adults who never swam, have made significant progress, overcoming fear, gaining confidence, and developing strong swimming skills like strokes and independent floating.

The school is highly recommended, and the management (owner Brian and his wife) is commended for being accommodating and honest, even when facing instructor shortages.

My 5 year old daughter has made a ton of progress this year working with Jamie at the Hancock location. My daughter loves going to swim class each week. Jamie has pushed her successfully through mental blocks while keeping it fun. We just got back from a vacation where she was swimming all over the pool with confidence and having a blast - a game changer!

Coach Jamie is amazing! Her patience, expertise, and encouragement helped our son become a confident, safe swimmer—starting at just 7 months old. We couldn’t recommend her more!

We LOVE British Swim School! My daughter started and was afraid to get in the water and now she is already working on her strokes and can float independently. Her teachers are so nice and really make it fun! I cannot recommend BSS enough!

I felt very confident and secured since the very first moment I got into the pool. I had two instructors (not at the same time), and they were both great. Matthew and Jeimy gave me the confidence to stay in the water and perform the movements/exercises. I learned so much in only 4 classes (once a week). It was amazing for an adult who had never swum in her life. Thank you so much!

This is a very good swim school, they were struggling during the summer due to shortage of instructors but they are very accommodating and always do their best to make things right. The owner Brian and his wife are very nice and honest people.Mrs Drew is the best instructor. Our child loves her class and enjoys it very much. Thank you.
