Amazing! My 5 month old is in the tadpole classes and the instructor Adrienne/ Manyah have been amazing providing lessons for her! The class sizes are small and the days I go now it’s more one on one which is great as my daughter loves the water!

British Swim School - AFC is absolutely amazing. Our goal was to sharpen up our son’s skills so he could try out for the swim team. With help from Jack Ryan, in just a few short months, our son was able to try out and make the team. If you haven’t already, sign your children up asap, you won’t regret it!

British Swim School has incredible swim instructors! My son has learned more in the last few weeks than he did in 3 summers of swim lessons at summer camp. Highly recommended!

Best swim school in the area, and I’ve tried three other programs before I found this at the AFC fitness center. JackRyan is amazing and after just a month, my daughter has improved and feels encouraged to try new skills. I highly recommend this program!
