FAQ
Can I share the bulk lesson package with a sibling or transfer it to another child?
No. Each package is purchased for and valid only for the one enrolled swimmer. It can’t be shared, transferred, or used by a sibling or another family member, and it can’t be moved to a different account.
What happens if my child misses lessons — does the bulk lesson package get extended?
No. Your package has a fixed end date based on your purchase date and package length. It won’t be extended for vacations, illness, missed lessons, or scheduling conflicts. Missed lessons earn a makeup class instead (under our standard makeup policy) — not a refund, credit, or extension.
Can I cancel and get a refund on my prepaid tuition for bulk lesson packages?
No. The promotional price is offered in exchange for your full 12/6-month commitment. If you cancel before the term ends, the prepaid tuition is non-refundable, and exceptions are made only at British Swim School’s discretion.
How much do swim lessons cost?
Pricing varies based on how many lessons you take each week and the number of swimmers you enroll. For detailed pricing, please visit your nearest location’s webpage to find all the information you need.
What is the earliest age I can enroll my child?
Swimmers can start as early as 3 months old. British Swim School offers programs designed to build comfort and confidence in the water at every age and every stage, with options for children, teens, and adults.
What kind of programs are offered?
British Swim School offers programs for every age and every stage, designed to help swimmers build comfort, confidence, and skills in the water as they progress. Programs range from early water acclimation to survival skills and stroke development, with a consistent approach that supports smooth progression.
How many students participate in each lesson?
Lessons are taught in small groups to support focused instruction and individual progress. Student-to-instructor ratios vary by program and skill level, with lower ratios in our water survival lessons and slightly larger groups as swimmers progress into stroke development.
How is progress tracked?
Progress is guided by clear program goals that support steady development over time. Swimmers move at their own pace, with instruction tailored to their individual needs and comfort in the water.
How do I determine my level and enroll?
Start by finding your nearest location and taking our quick swim assessment, which helps guide swimmers to the right program based on age, experience, and comfort in the water. From there, you can choose a convenient day and time to complete enrollment online, or reach out to your local team for support.
