Help Another Family Build Confidence
Invite a friend to swim with you, or refer someone new to lessons. Either way, you help another person take a real step toward water safety.
Learning alongside someone familiar makes the first lesson easier. Two ways to make that happen are below.
Bring a Buddy Trial Lessons
Bring a Buddy Trial Lessons are free introductory swim lessons for two people, whether you’re both just getting started or an existing student bringing a friend into the water. Some things are just better with a friend. Already a student? Invite someone to join you for a free lesson and earn a referral reward if they sign up for ongoing lessons.
Buddies don’t need to be the same age or swim level. Sessions are limited to two so each swimmer gets individual attention from a trained instructor and the right class placement going forward.
Trial Lessons are available at multiple Bay Area locations on rotating dates. Current availability is on the booking form, and new dates are added regularly.
Refer a Friend
Share your personal referral link with anyone ready to start swimming. When they enroll, you choose your reward: a $25 Amazon or Starbucks gift card, or a bonus lesson. The new student gets a bonus lesson too.
Confidence in the Water Starts with a Single Referral.
Thank you for helping more families experience the life-changing impact of British Swim School.

FAQ
Each actively enrolled swimmer may invite one friend to attend a complimentary Bring a Buddy lesson alongside them. If you have more friends who would love to join, you’re always welcome to request additional Bring a Buddy dates so more buddies can join.
Bring a Buddy lessons are offered on select dates and locations throughout the year. Families can request a spot for an upcoming date that works best for them.
After the lesson, a member of our team will follow up to answer questions and share next steps if the buddy family is interested in enrolling.
