My children have been with British Swim School for the past 1.5 years. Started with neither know how to swim at all, to now flying full lanes with all 4 styles. All the instructors are amazing! You cannot go wrong with any of them. Highly recommended for any parent who wants their children to learn this essential life skill while having fun.

I recently had the pleasure of enrolling my child in the British Swim School, and I can confidently say that it was the best decision I could have made for their swimming education. The instructors are top-notch and truly know how to engage with children, making each lesson both enjoyable and informative. I was particularly impressed with the deck supervisor, who oversees the weekend classes. Their attention to detail and organization was exceptional, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and on time. They were always present to answer any questions or concerns I had, and their friendly demeanor made the entire experience all the more enjoyable. What truly sets British Swim School apart, however, is their dedication to safety. From the moment we arrived at the pool, I felt completely at ease knowing that my child was in good hands. The instructors were knowledgeable and attentive, taking the time to ensure that each child was comfortable and confident in the water. I would highly recommend the British Swim School to anyone looking for a safe and effective way to teach their child how to swim. The instructors and deck supervisor truly go above and beyond, and I am grateful for the incredible experience we had with them.

I learned how to swim from them and over come my fear of water. Props to Julian for being my teacher for most of the sessions and they have lessons with just about 1-2 people so its pretty hands on. Further, the price is reasonable.

British swim schools swim instructors are the best. I was so nervous with my 6yr old son and his impulsiveness with jumping into pools with no swimming experience. My decision to give him swimming lessons with British was the best for my son and, his water safety. I want to thank the swim instructors Darcy( his main instructor)Ty and Danny for being so patient with my son and showing him the correct way to swim. I trust that he will float if he’s in distress, have correct form of swimming and he now respects the water. I thank all the instructors who are 100% professional. I recommend this school and this location to any parent!
