Why Everyone Should Learn to Swim in Skokie

Swimming can be a rewarding experience for people of all ages. Those who learn to swim in Skokie gain new skills and benefit from several lifelong advantages, including improved water safety, health, and self-esteem.

Most importantly, formal swimming lessons are proven to protect against drowning. Drowning is a leading cause of death for children, with those aged 1-4 at the highest risk. However, studies found that formal swimming lessons reduced the likelihood of drowning by as much as 88%.

With our gentle approach to safety and enthusiastic class structure, British Swim School is the perfect place to learn to swim!

Learn to Swim with Classes for All Ages & Skill Levels!

“At British Swim School, we believe it’s never too early to learn water safety skills. That’s why our classes accommodate children from age three months to adults.

Our program teaches students to feel comfortable in the water and float on their backs first. This position allows swimmers to rest at the water’s surface and breathe or call out for help if they need assistance. For those who are new to swimming, it helps them know that they can stay safe and builds confidence for more advanced techniques.

I would highly recommend them!

“British Swim School has been great for my kids. Both of them were hesitant and a little fearful about swimming before we came. The fact that British swim school has very specific goals at each level helped them get comfortable. The instructors have been patient and encouraging, and my kids have grown so much in their swimming skills. I would highly recommend them!” Micah L.
