What are people saying (AI review summary)? The British Swim School is highly recommended for its quality infant and children's swim lessons, addressing a significant need in Reno. Reviewers consistently praise the friendly, informative, and patient staff, including owner Scott and instructor Salvador, who are described as professional, passionate, and hands-on. The facility, located in the charming Plaza Resort Club Hotel, features a nice sized, clean, indoor pool with comfortable water temperatures and a calm, uncrowded environment, offering a much better experience compared to competitors.

Convenience is enhanced by a free parking garage, though a larger changing room/locker area was a minor wish for one reviewer.

Nice sized pool in a little venue, friendly and informative staff & instructors. I love that it's not overwhelming, I can sit poolside and watch my baby learn in the pool with my husband! We tried Silver Bear and it just wasn't ideal (way too many people and classes in a small time slot) British Swim School is A LOT calmer, less people and simply the best. Scott is also a nice guy and was really helpful when I was signing my baby up for the enrollment. He greeted us on our first day too. Highly recommend this swim school!

There is a great need for infant and children’s quality swimming lessons in the Reno area and many parents would desire an indoor pool because of the four seasons. The British Swim School recently opened under new management and is up to the task of meeting that need. The facility is a decorated, classical downtown hotel. There is a free parking garage for convenience. The indoor pool is spacious and clean. While lessons were occurring, only the instructors, parents and students were in the pool area. Scott is professional, personable and proficient at swimming and teaching and running the business. Coach Salvador is a decorated triathlete with a great passion for swimming and especially for young children to learn the necessary skills for water safety, swimming and having fun in the water. I will definitely pass along the word about swim lessons to family, friends, acquaintances and neighbors with British Swim School.

British Swim School at Plaza Resort Club Hotel is a great experience. The hotel is a cool piece of old Reno - it's charming and the pool water is a comfortable temp for our little one. And the instructor is always fun and enthusiastic. We have a great time. My only wish would be for a bigger changing room / locker room area. Otherwise, it's great!

The British Swim School is really great. All the staff do an amazing job! Scott the owner is very hands on, he values his business it shows and we appreciate that! The classes are the perfect size and the venue is nice too. Swim is absolutely a highlight in our week!

I love the exercise where they teach babies how to get out of the pool through the edge. At first, my daughter needed a lot of help and little by little she has learned how to do it by herself and loves jumping back to the pool. I would say the instructors and managers are really good at what they do and they have a lot of patience with little kids. Once my other daughter grows, I will definetely enroll her into swimming classes
