We’ve had an awesome experience at British Swim School. My son started out nervous around the water, and now he’s not only comfortable, he can swim! The instructors are patient, kind, and really know how to work with kids. You can tell they care they take their time, never rush the kids, and always keep it fun while still teaching real skills. The whole vibe is positive and encouraging, which made a big difference for my son. It’s been great seeing his confidence grow each week. Really happy we found this place. Highly recommend it to any parent looking for a solid swim school with good people running it that will actually teach your kids how to swim.

We have been taking swim classes for the last 2 months and I see huge improvements in their swim skills. British Swim has a very specific technic to teach the kids and the instructors are very engaging. Yen is also always available to answer any questions. She is great!

I just had my first class. I’m 50 years old and have never felt like a confident swimmer. My goal expressed to the instructor - to be able to jump from a boat into the ocean when on vacation and comfortably swim in the water. No noodle - lol. A friend asked me how it went. My words- “It was SOOOOOO good ! I wish I had a swimming experience like this when I was younger.” The instructor went step by step with me. Examined my movement and gave feedback in a way that made sense. She introduced the breast stroke by breaking up the movement in different parts. Not my experience when it was introduced some time ago. She’s in the water with me demonstrating. It was such a good experience. Oh and the water isn’t cold ! I would highly recommend the British Swim School.

From day one, the instructors have created a nurturing environment which has helped my daughter build confidence. Each lesson is engaging and I’ve witnessed my daughter learn to back float just within 2 lessons. I absolutely recommend going to this school. You will not be disappointed!!!

The instructors are fantastic with kids. My son had a rough morning (even before swim) and was refusing to get in the pool. The instructors knew exactly how to handle it. They were patient, kind and empathetic and my son was in the pool smiling after a few minutes. I like that they start with a focus on making sure the kids master basic skills needed to survive a fall in the pool before moving on to actual strokes. The whole operation is very professional, communicative and easy to work with. I would highly recommend the school.
