We’ve had such a wonderful experience with British Swim School! The instructors and team are patient, encouraging, and truly dedicated to helping children build confidence in the water. I’ve been amazed at how much my child has learned and grown since starting lessons — not only in swimming skills but also in independence and self-assurance. I’m so grateful for the supportive environment they provide!

Thank you British Swim School! Amber and her team are on another level! Our kids swimming skills exploded after just a few weeks. Thank you so much! Their newfound confidence in the water and my ability to enjoy pools again are valued more than you will ever know. 10 out of 10! Couldn’t recommend them more!

This is absolutely the best class ever! My oldest son had the so much anxiety starting swim class and at the end of the class, he was laughing so much and now looks forward to class every week. I have twin toddlers who are developmentally delayed with sensory problems and hate having showers and generally any water on their face. My twins were terrified at first of just being in the pool, but the instructors were so patient (despite my kids screaming and crying in their face) that we have seen such huge progress in how our twins interact with water and with the instructors themselves. If i could give this place more than 5 stars, I would. Just heads up, the Swim School is now in the South Blanding location which doesn't show online.

The swim instructors here are extremely caring and work very well with my Autistic son. He now knows what days we go swimming and is already halfway out the door to his lesson whwn we're getting ready to leave! The scheduling is fantastic, and everyone is just so nice and accommodating ❤️❤️. Thank you BSS!
