Reviews
We have tried swim classes elsewhere and they were large groups and not appropriate for our kiddo that she became to scared to continue. British swim school offers a small group with one-on-one help throughout the entire class. They take turns and get to watch the other kids do things. Ashley is so good with the kids. Honestly all of them have been. Wouldn't go anywhere else.
Learning to swim as an adult is hard. I have to admit that I was very nervous about it, but it's a very important life skill to have, so l decided to go take swim lessons. I used to take my kids to their swim lessons at the public swimming pools in Hillsboro and I remembered there were so many people in the pools and families watching nearby. I wanted to have some privacy, less audience and smaller class. British Swim School checked all the boxes and then some. I forgot to mention that I preferred a female teacher when I signed up for the lessons, and was pleased when I saw Ashley, my swim coach. I was nervous when I first started, but Ashley made it easier for me. She is very supportive, always gives me good feedbacks and is very encouraging. The difference between public swim lessons and British Swim School is like attending a public school versus a small private one. If you want smaller classes, less distractions and more personalized lessons, British Swim School is the place to be. I'm still taking the lessons and have graduated to the next level. I'm much more confident in the water and can't wait to practice swimming on my own, thanks to Ashley.
Excellent structure to their lessons, letting kids acclimatise and progress at their own speed. We had a bad experience at public swim lessons, and our kids were comfortable getting back in the water after the first session. Our boys love Coach Ashley! She is great at recognizing when to push a skill forward and when to switch over to a quick game before trying again.
