As a mom, water safety is a top priority, and British Swim School of North Phoenix has exceeded every expectation! Our daughters (Tadpole & Swimboree classes) love their lessons, have fun, show real progress, and always want to come back! The instructors are patient, knowledgeable, and truly care about each child’s success. Our little one feels comfortable in the water, while our older daughter is gaining confidence and real swim skills. Seeing their progress each week is amazing! What stands out most is the safe, structured approach—it gives me peace of mind knowing they’re learning lifesaving water skills in a positive, engaging environment. This makes me feel better with a pool in our backyard! The facility is clean, classes are well-organized, and the staff is welcoming. If you're looking for a top-notch swim school, this is it! Highly recommend for ALL families—this program is truly life-changing!

This is the perfect place to take your child to learn swimming. We booked individual lessons for our teenage son to ensure he will be safe in the water during our upcoming summer trip. He somewhat knew how to swim but wasn't entirely confident. They did an amazing job and even engaged more than one trainer to make sure everything was covered. Sometimes, they would extend the class time to ensure he understood everything he needed to know. They went above and beyond to help us ensure our son would be safe in the water when we are not around. Thank you!

I have terrible fear of water and almost drowned when I was a young teenager. I am now retired and love to travel with my husband. I finally realized that I really have to conquer my fear of water in order to enjoy the beautiful destinations that we travel to especially the beaches and relaxing hotel pools. Learning how to swim became my ultimate goal at this stage of my life. British Swim School helped me conquer my fear and boost my confidence around water. I’m still in the process of learning but have positive experience so far. Steven, the owner of the school has been very kind and accommodating. The staff are very patient and attentive to my needs.

Our family is beyond impressed with British Swim School of North Phoenix! With our son in the Minnow class and our daughter in the Starfish class, we've seen incredible growth in their confidence and swimming abilities. Every class is filled with expert instruction, safety-focused training, and a whole lot of fun—it’s the perfect balance! The instructors are so patient and encouraging, taking the time to ensure each child feels comfortable and supported. Our son has gained stronger swimming skills and more independence in the water through Minnow, while our daughter is learning water survival techniques in a way that keeps her engaged and excited in Starfish. Watching them progress each week is truly rewarding! As a parent, it gives me so much peace of mind knowing my kids are not only having fun but also learning lifesaving water skills in a structured, positive environment, especially since we have a pool in the backyard. Highly recommend for all families.

I honestly cannot recommend this team enough! If you’re looking for swim classes, don’t look or go anywhere else! I didn’t know how to swim at all before coming to British Swim School of North Phoenix, and they helped me get over my fear of water and actually become comfortable and enjoy swimming and being in the water in a short few months, which is difficult when learning how to swim as an adult. The team is very caring and will work with you to understand what your goals are (mine were specifically time-bound for an upcoming trip, too), and they encouraged me to bring my snorkeling gear and practice with it. They’ll also work with you on lesson plans to make sure you’re progressing so you’re not stuck doing the same thing for weeks, and they’ll try multiple techniques for movements (like treading water, for example). More than anything, this team is exceptionally caring and thoughful, and they take the time to get to know you, support you, and make each class enjoyable. I often lost track of class time, after having been afraid of water all my life. Whether you’re an adult or bringing in your kids, this is the team you want guiding you through swimming. I truly can’t say enough how great they are! Truly grateful to have had my swim lessons with them, and happy to say I enjoy the water and comfortable to swim with a trip coming up!
