We would highly recommend British Swim School! All of the instructors have been wonderful and our son looks forward to class every week! He started as a Tadpole in October, just graduated his 3rd class and will be starting as a Minnow next week! We love how well organized the program is with clear expectations of the goals for each class and the skills our son will be working on. The location is super convenient for us and the pool at The Glebe is lovely!

My daughter went from not being able to let water touch her face to fearlessly jumping in the pool and swimming end to end. The teachers were wonderful and very skilled at handling all levels of "bravery" in young kids. Age 6->7, Starfish->Shark1

I've been very impressed with BSS. My 5-year-old is excited to go each week and after just 4 lessons is jumping in and going under the water without hesitation (which he was opposed to before starting lessons!) The format is great and the teacher has been wonderful and patient with our active boy. He was also inspired to master his skills so he could move up to the next color swim cap (the weekly temporary tattoos are a fun treat too!) The Botetourt location is excellent.

We have had an amazing experience with British Swim School. Instructors really care about your child's progress and success. Every single person who we have interacted with from this company has been professional, kind, and encouraging. Registration process is easy - as well cancelling lessons and scheduling make-ups. Most importantly - my child can swim! Highly recommend!
