What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for British Swim School present a mixed picture. Many parents praise the school for its effective instruction, particularly for children with initial fears of water, and its ability to build confidence and safety skills. Specific instructors like Marlene and Mr. Ben are highlighted for being gentle, encouraging, and efficient. The Dolphin adaptive program is lauded by one parent for its success with a child on the spectrum, noting easy makeup class arrangements. However, significant concerns are raised regarding recent operational issues, including high staff turnover, which has led to merged classes and reduced effectiveness. A major point of frustration is poor communication, with multiple instances of unnotified class cancellations, causing inconvenience for families who traveled to the facility. Furthermore, one family strongly criticizes the 'adaptive' class, stating it was not suitable for special needs and led to a mandatory, expensive switch to private lessons, causing disappointment.
