We are having a wonderful experience with British Swim School. We initially chose this program due to their focus on water safety. We stayed with the program because it has been very effective in teaching our child swim skills. It has also been a positive, fun experience that our child looks forward to each week! Each session is consistently well organized and the instruction has been thoughtful and responsive to my child’s needs. The kids are engaged in songs and games and the parents are shown how to best support their child’s learning of each swim skill. This program has more rigor and structure than your typical Mommy and Me swim class, but is not as intense as some other approaches to swim instruction. Overall, I highly recommend British Swim School- my little one is learning so much, and it continues to be an overwhelmingly positive experience for both of us!

We are so incredibly happy with the British Swim School at Sonesta Hotel! Both of our daughters take swim classes here and it has been a wonderful experience! The entire team is so attentive to the children and parents! The instructors are amazing! Our daughters are young (5 and 3 years old) and they look forward to every class! They have also made great progress over the last few months. We will be enrolling our 3rd daughter very soon as well! Thank you Yen and team for your incredible professionalism and amazing swimming progress that you have enabled for our children!

My 4 yr old has been attending lessons for 6 months now and thoroughly enjoys his lessons. All the instructors are amazing, patient and care about each child’s progress. I recommended to my niece, who has attended for about 5 months and will continue to recommend! My son’s confidence has grown tremendously thanks to Yen and her team!

We love British School of swimming in White Plains! Everyone is friendly and the instructors are very skilled and patient. They offer make up classes in the event that we can’t make it, which is a big plus for us! We highly recommend British school of swimming.

I can not say enough good about the instructors and staff. My daughters (7 and 4) started lessons in January and my 7 year old has learned to swim in only a few months! My 4 year old is scared in the water and the gentleness, patience and encouragement of her teachers has helped build her confidence so much. The teachers are SO SO kind, consistent, skilled and GREAT with kids. Lucky to have found this swim school and I recommend it without reservation. The consistent techniques, small class size and flexible scheduling has been great. Even as my older daughter tested into different levels, Ive been able to schedule both kids on the same day and time. Its a small swim school which lets you get more personal care (both in the water and in scheduling).
