We've tried multiple swim schools in the area, including big blue swim school and safe splash, but British swim school has been the place our daughter has done the best. We do Sunday classes and the teacher student ratio is great, she gets a lot of attention and has become much more comfortable in the water. The teachers are all very nice and knowledgeable, pushing us out of our comfort zone and getting our daughter to learn more. The tadpole pool is warm and inviting and unlike the other schools it's not a roped off section of a bigger pool with way too many babies squished in line sardines, which was our experience with big blue swim school.

Love British swim school in Clifton. My kids have had classes with different instructors and love them all! The classes are small and my kids were able to learn quickly, versus another swim school they had attended. All the staff are very helpful and welcoming! Definitely recommend 100%!

Great swim school! All the instructors are patient and kind but I must say Jude really went above and beyond. My son didn’t feel comfortable at first but Jude did everything he could so my son would feel safe. He tried It all and won my son’s trust by singing baby shark and a few other nursery songs. Great job guys! Super happy mom!
