I wanted to get back into swimming as an adult and found British swim school from a quick google search. I was able to sign up quickly and start lessons immediately. Brandon and Kelvin have been great instructors. They have helped me build confidence in my four strokes and give feedback and drills to improve my form and stamina. I told them I was interested in doing a triathlon and they tailored my classes to fit my needs. The only thing is I wish they would offer longer classes. 30 min is quite short.

I am not a customer of the swim school, but I wanted to take a moment to compliment the young woman working there. She kindly offered some supplies for my child to use and was teaching classes along with a foot brace! Along side a gentleman in the water. The swim school itself seems very well ran and the classes looked engaging and well organized. Such a lovely, thoughtful environment. I will certainly be recommending it to others.

We had amazing experience at the British Swim School on Wall Street. My kids love to come for swim classes every week. Great, professional swim instructors where you actually see the progression of your child every week!!! Reasonable price. There is no better swim school in Manhattan!!

UPDATE: Swim Coach Kelvin & TA Bushra We are now taking been taking classes for a little under a year. The strength and technique my daughter has achieved via that time in the pool. Is remarkable. We are glad to still be learning new skills all the time and she is proud everytime she leaves the pool. We’ve been taking class with Coach Mirella! and with her TA Chloe since March at Wall St. We appreciate their drive they give to our kid during the lesson. Our kiddo is much more confident in the pool thanks to their guidance. Chloe will cheer along while Mirella gives her the strength to achieve in the water.

My twin daughters (age 10, fairly advanced swimmers) have had years of teaching both back in the UK and now in New York. After a disappointing term at Asphalt Green UES (we actually stopped going it was so bad) it was a blessing to find Dimitri and the BSS team - they are the best swim instructors we have had to date. They are friendly and seem to genuinely care about your children progressing, giving a lot of individual advice and using floatation aids etc to correct techniques. The girls have now joined their swim team and I can see the improvement in just 2 months. I can recommend them unreservedly.
