A gem of a swim school. We came from a bigger swim school and this was such a difference! The instructors are swim professionals (literally one was a top 3 swimmer for her country) and it showed with my son’s improvement and confidence in one lesson. BSS methods are based on a ton of research and data. But aside from that, Mom’s POV: it was SO much less stressful than the bigger place. Easy to get to, easy to get in and out of, and easy to get the kids changed and all those annoying things that can make swim classes hard on the parents. Better, easier and less stressful - a huge win!

I can't say enough good things about British Swim School! The instructors are so welcoming and patient! Our littlest was timid at first and they were so understanding and worked with her on acclimation and made her feel at ease.

I have been so impressed with the teachers and instruction. Even after 2 classes, I saw a dramatic improvement in my child's attitude toward swimming and water safety. I am so grateful I found this program!
