The amount of progress my 5 and 6 year olds show is astounding. They LOVE going to lessons. I have never seen the entire class of kids so happy and engaged in any learning activity as they are during their lessons. The teachers are amazing and motivating. (Thank you Phoebe, Rose and James!). The British Swim School is very organized and professional. Great communication. They have exceeded expectations. Some things that took us a little by surprise is extra cost ($8) for caps when they advance levels and need to give 30 days notice to end lessons. They may have mentioned it somewhere but we didn’t think about it at the time. In summary, may be pricey, but worth every penny to have my kids safe and confident in the water. We also used the summer camp at the Abington Club and The British Swim School does lessons for the campers. So the carryover and reinforcement was super helpful. Thank you!

Great instructors. My children made great progress in a short period of time! Planning on returning for more when we can.

Classes so far have been very instructional and well supported by the instructor. Sarah does a great job at helping all students feel comfortable as we learn to become more confident in the water.

I can't say enough good things about the British Swim School! One of the things I loved most was the small class sizes, with only four kids per lesson. This meant that my girls got plenty of individual attention and were able to progress quickly. The owner of the British Swim School is fantastic! She really goes above and beyond to make sure that the lessons are a success for every child. She's incredibly dedicated to her students and their families, and it really shows in the way she runs the business. Overall, I couldn't be happier with our experience at the British Swim School. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for swim lessons for their children.

I’ve been extremely impressed with the British Swim School. The teaching method is sound & logical and the teachers are not only very well trained but also excellent communicators! My 4 year old daughter loves swim class and after just 2 lessons, she turned into a completely different kid in the water! She’s only had about 7 lessons so far but it’s amazing to see the progress!
