Love the British swim school. Class sizes are small 1-3 kiddos to 1 instructor. The pool is always warm and clean and they are very accommodating on make up sessions! Love this swim school!

We are tremendously impressed with the classes at British Swim School. My family searched for quite some time to find the best fit for our little ones who do not have much experience in the water. The teachers are extraordinarily professional. They treat my children with kindness, respect, gentleness, compassion, and are absolutely top-notch instructors. I am in awe as I watch them work with all levels and skill-sets of children in the water. It is also evident in their instruction and class structure that safety is a paramount consideration, as is maintaining a positive water-to-child relationship with each and every student. Also, I am beyond thrilled with the facility itself! The pool and gym areas are clean, the water is warm, and every staff member is remarkably helpful. We are exceptionally grateful for the experience here at the York, PA location - we cannot wait to start our toddler in classes as well! Heather and her team are phenomenal. For any caregivers searching to enroll your children in swim classes, please look no further. British Swim School is beyond perfect.

I absolutely love this program. We started the program just so my daughter could be a stronger swimmer and ditch her floaties. But my daughter fell in love with classes and learning the different strokes. The instructors are all amazing! They truly are so great with the kids and coming up with different techniques to help them master the different strokes and kicks. I highly recommend this program to anyone, I truly cannot do more wonderful things about this program!

My son absolutely loves his swim classes with Jason. My son was terrified of floating and putting his head under water. However, we are 3 weeks in and my son is now floating, jumping in the water, and love being in the water. My son is a walking billboard for his swim teacher, Mr. Jason. The swimming area is clean and easy to navigate. Everyone there is helpful and they cheer your children on when they accomplish a goal. I am so happy to have found this loving and welcoming facility. I highly recommend this place. Everyone is absolutely amazing. Thank you to all of you, especially Jason. You made my son so comfortable and happy. After each session, he talks about you and how he trusts you. Thank you again.

We are loving our time at BSS! My daughter has picked up so many new skills in just two lessons. The teachers are fantastic and always keep her smiling while swimming!
