I have two kids , an 11 years old girl and a five years old boy, my daughter started swimming classes at British Swim school back 2022, she didn’t know how to swim or to float at all , with the help of the professional and helpful instructors this school has she became a very good swimmer . My son is the type of kid that hates the water and would cry a lot before he gets in to the pool ,the instructors were so patient with him and very helpful as he would scream each time they get him to the water , now he is doing so much better he is not afraid at all and he is fine jumping into it the pool by himself and swim. He is making very good progress, and he enjoys being at British Swim School.

My daughter is no longer afraid of the water and loves going to the class. Her teacher is great with the kids and Im so impressed with how quickly she got her to enjoy the water and how well she teaches the skills.

Really helpful swim instructors that make it fun for infants. Our 8mo old has successfully gone under water with no tears.

We LOVE British Swim School! The safety first approach to swimming, the small class sizes, the lesson plans, and the TEACHERS have all been amazing. Special shout out to Lily who is exceptional with the kiddos. My son looks forward every week to his swim lesson and to perfecting the specific skills required to graduate through each level. His progress has been remarkable and quick! He went from being afraid to get his face wet to dunking his head all the way in the water while he swims like a shark! Every class he practices rolling over from a face down position to floating on his back. And it is the only swimming program I have found nearby that not only teaches water acclimation and safety, but also the foundations of swimming strokes! My son is delighted by "monkey, airplane, soldier" and the speed that his legs can contribute to his inertia! Watching his confidence brings tears to my eyes as I know that these skills could literally save his life. Coach Pete does a wonderful job making students and their families feel truly welcome and the facilities are equally welcoming and accessible with no stairs and a direct entrance from the spacious parking lot. With an intuitive app and website, there are many scheduling options to choose from and multiple levels in each half hour lesson block so that as you progress through each level you can still find a class time that works for you. This is especially helpful if you have multiple family members who are swimming at different levels. Thank you, British Swim School, for being such an excellent program that exceeded our hopes and expectations!

My 7-year-old daughter loves British Swim School in Saugus! So far, she’s moved up two levels, and her skills/confidence in the water is growing! These classes made it so much easier for her to attend summer camps with pools as well. (The cancellation policy for missed classes is also great.) Overall, we’re very happy with the program and would highly recommend it…
