What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for the British Swim School are largely positive, with many parents commending specific instructors (such as Evie, Kieth, and Lauren) for their patience, engaging teaching styles, and ability to foster significant progress and confidence in children, including those with special needs or initial water fears. Patrons appreciate the small class sizes, clear level goals, and the fun, motivating atmosphere that makes children eager to attend. However, one notably negative experience detailed frequent coach changes, which led to a lack of progress for a young child, particularly due to 'stranger danger' issues resetting comfort levels. This review also cited concerns about cold pool water, strict facility rules, and an overall perception of an expensive and inconsiderate service, despite the child excelling in other swimming environments. Overall, while consistency and facility management were points of concern for one reviewer, the general sentiment highlights the effectiveness of the teaching program and the positive impact of dedicated instructors.

We took tadpole classes for our 15month old son. It’s been three months and cannot see any progress. They changed 3 different coaches in 3 months. Once he got close to getting comfortable, they change the coach. They said he was ready for assessment to move on to next step, but they change the coach and it’s all reset. And the new coach says “Stranger Danger”. Then what’s the point of getting him to these classes. We know each kid is different and all, but the people there do nothing to probably make him comfortable. You cannot get in the water a minute early but they can send you out even when there are no other classes are going on. The water is cold for an indoor pool. Kids shiver when they get out of pools, but they cannot go in the hot pool to warm themselves ( but those coaches always jump into hot pools soon after they are done). Oh by the way, my son does everything well when we are in our community swimming pool. For us, this was an expensive and inconsiderate coaching experience.
My daughter has been at British Swimming School for over a year. We have gone to different swimming places but this one WOW she has learned so much she is confident, she has fun and looks forward to every class. What makes it the best for us is her teacher Evie she is AMAZING! she is energetic, so much fun, always smiling keeps the kids engaged she is the best we love her!
We love this swim school! My kids had done a couple recreation center swim classes and we didn't realize swimming lessons can be so fun. My 3 and 5 year-old are excited to go every Saturday and talk about learning swimming with friends and family. Our instructor is Kieth and he is very patient and fun. The key part of the program is to help kids progress at their own pace, and the clear level goals really motivate my kids to keep challenging themselves. Overall we are very happy with British Swim School. Small class size, great instructor and the program itself.
I’m so lucky that Coach Lauren was filling in on my son’s first day and has taken on the role of his instructor ever since. She is phenomenal! My son is on the spectrum and the patience and dedication she shows towards him is greatly appreciated. And the progress he’s made in just a few weeks really shows! I cannot say enough great things about this facility! Thank you!
Our daughter has thrived and excelled in her swimming skills thanks to the genuine care and coaching from the BSS teachers. She went from being afraid and nervous in/near the water to confident and excited! The teachers and staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. They give clear and actionable feedback and coaching that has helped Miriam improve tremendously. Cannot recommend this place higher!!
