Dmitry and his instructors are awesome, always flexible and child friendly. They accommodate the needs of each child as an individual, and we appreciate all of them. This is a great opportunity for every child, no matter of their age, to be a part of while learning to incorporate water safety skills.They're having a great time as well

The school is family run, and they are passionate about swim safety and swimming in general. They take a moment to get to know each student’s family, which fosters a positive environment. My son’s teacher, I think her name is Daphne, is amazing. She has the natural charisma to balance fun and discipline. My son loves swimming with her.,

We've taken our campers to the British Swim School for the second straight year and it's been WONDERFUL! The instructors are very skilled, patient and gentle with new and nervous swimmers. Camp Corlears gives them a 5 star rating for the second straight year!!!! We hope to see them again next summer!!!
