My sons have been coming here since April of this year. I love watching my oldest, who is 7, progress. He started out in the Starfish class with his 3 year old brother. He's now moved up to Turtle 1! He also knows how to swim now! We plan to continue coming. My kids enjoy their time at the pool. The instructors are great!

We've had such a wonderful experience with British Swim School. From office staff to the team at the pool to the instructors, they're top notch. They've gone above and beyond to make us feel a part of their family and I couldn't appreciate it more. My kids have all progressed under the tutelage of the instructors....they know to push them in the right way paired with a lovely sense of empathy. Thank you for all you guys do!

my daughter Jeiyda enjoyed it. The instructor is kind and friendly. Your money will not be wasted. when I know someone who is looking for a swimming school, I always recommend the British swimming class. Chuck and Dona are easy to talk to. My daugther has a great time and learned alot of different swimming styles.

Our daughter loves swim school it’s so cool to see even an infant improve in her abilities and confidence in the pool! The half hour class is the perfect amount of time. I do prefer the Wesleyan location for its amenities like the locker room and better pool but this location is great too
