I have nothing but good things to say about the British Swim School. This is the fourth swim school we've tried—and the first one that truly teaches swimming. You can actually see real progress, unlike other programs where kids stay stuck at the same level for months. My older son learned to swim freestyle, breaststroke, and even butterfly within a year!

We have been to all the swim schools around and this one is by far the best. My older son is on a swim team and we wanted our daughter to join. My 6 year old was swim team ready in 5 months. She learned all the strokes and flip turns. I love the techniques they use to prepare them and the instructors are fantastic! I cannot say enough good things about British Swim School. I recommend to everyone especially if you are looking to have your child join a swim team.

My experience was good, but the only problem was the weather, which was cold, and my daughter was shaking. We prefer to resume the swimming lessons after winter.

I put my two 10 yo in this school after a bad experience in the past with another school, and we saw an immediate improvement, the British Swimming School staff is so professional and sharp, they are dedicated and keen to help the kids learn to swim.
