The staff at British Swim School are great. Each teacher has their own way of guiding and supporting your efforts in a non-judgmental manner. As an adult learner I was not sure what to expect, however, I have enjoyed my lessons and have been amazed at the progress I have made since taking classes. I have informed a number of friends and colleagues about my experience and highly recommend British Swim school if you are interested in learning how to swim - whether a child or adult. Kudos to Kim, Jazmin and the entire team.

This is an excellent swim school with many classes for different ages and skill levels. Classes run year round using the indoor pool, and classes are well structured with goals for each lesson and skill level. The instructors are well trained and attentive as they work with each student from week to week. Nice selection of class times offered for each skill level and the price is very fair. I highly recommend!

Great experience so far. Our kid has been attending for over 2 months now. He is in the shark 2 class. Which is prepping for swim team. We use this class to help him keep in shape at his technique good during the off season. They have great teachers here and a great schedule. Very flexible with working with other facilities in the area as well in case you have any conflicting schedules in the local area you work with. We used to go to kids first swim. But their quality and management has dropped severely in the last couple years. I'm very glad I gave this location a chance very satisfied with the time and instruction is spent with kids. Please bear in mind these are skills that take a long time to sharpen and fully learned. Especially if your child has never swam before. They focus a lot on basic life-saving skills before they start to teach them how to fully swim.

We enrolled our grandson into this program and couldn't be happier. They have a great approach to swim lessons, and my 4 yr old grandson loves it. He's shy, and they are able to get him participating and even volunteering to go 1st. He talks about it all week and looks forward to going to his classes.

The British swim school was very organized and gave personalized training to my grandson while he was in Pennsylvania. They were always very friendly and eager to answer any questions that I had.
