2X THE CLASSES = 3X THE RESULTS! British Swim School recommends 2x per week classes for every student who wants to see fast results and save in the long run, as students who take swim lessons 2x per week reach their goals 3x faster. This means that they also need fewer classes in total, saving money in the long run. Why? You pay a lower tuition (*Best Value*) AND need to pay for less total classes over the course of the program, compared to 1x per week. Reaching to your goal quicker and for less money - Smart!
You are automatically eligible for our *Best Value* price if:
- One student takes lessons 2x per week
- Siblings take at least one lesson per week each
- An adult and a child take at least one lesson per week each
ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP FEE: $49 per student / $60 per family. (This fee is waived for “JCC of Bayonne” members and “Xchange at Secaucus Junction” residents - please mention this when you enroll, so we can check and waive the fee.). This membership fee will be included in your initial payment.
FIRST MONTH’S TUITION: The classes of the first calendar month are paid upon enrollment on a prorated basis – you pay for a prorated monthly flat fee from your desired start date until the end of this month. You can start as early as today!

After this initial payment, we will post your upcoming month tuition on the 22nd of the current month for the next upcoming month tuition. On the 25th of each month, your card will automatically be charged for the following upcoming month’s tuition based on the monthly flat fee.
RISK-FREE GUARANTEE! We do not offer trial classes. We know from our 40+ years of experience that you cannot judge the quality of a swim program in just one lesson so we offer a Risk-Free Guarantee instead. When your family enrolls for the first time with us, you will pay your initial tuition along with your registration fee. You will then start your journey with us and take your weekly scheduled classes and If you are not satisfied before the end of your first billing cycle, we will refund you upon immediate reception of your online cancellation notice sent via the mobile app. You can submit your cancellation notice right away in the App, and up to before the 21st of the month (The billing cycle for the next upcoming month of tuition is posted on the 22nd of the current month) and we will refund you your initial first tuition fee along with your registration fee that you paid on your enrollment day. If we do not receive a cancellation notice via the app before the start of the second billing cycle (21st of the month), we will not be able to issue a refund.
All classes are 30-minutes long.
All classes, including adults, are conducted in small groups (up to 4:1 student/instructor ratio max, Tadpole and Stroke Development classes up to 6:1 student/instructor ratio max).
We allow Make-Up lessons for missed classes
For the following month’s tuition, the amount is a monthly flat fee whether there are 4 or 5 classes in that month.

FAQ

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.

How do I find the right swim class and register?

Finding your level is simple. Select your nearest local pool and complete our online swim assessment. This fast tool matches the swimmer's age and experience with the ideal curriculum level. Once matched, you can view current class schedules, select a convenient day and time, and register online. If you need assistance, our team is just a phone call away.

What certifications and training do your swim instructors hold?

Safety is our top priority. Every swim instructor undergoes a rigorous vetting process and completes our comprehensive, proprietary British Swim School certification program. Additionally, our instructors hold nationally recognized certifications in Lifeguarding, CPR, and First Aid. This ensures you and your family receive expert instruction focused on water survival skills and life-saving techniques in every single lesson.

How do students advance through your swim levels?

Our curriculum is built on a goal-driven, step-by-step progression where students learn at their own pace. Each distinct swim level features five clearly defined safety and skill milestones. Instructors continuously track performance during lessons to celebrate achievements. Once a student masters the five goals of their current level, they transition seamlessly to the next class tier without waiting for a new semester to begin.

What is the student-to-instructor ratio for swim lessons?

We keep our class sizes small to ensure personalized attention and maximum water safety. Our water acclimation and toddler water survival classes maintain a strict 4:1 student-to-instructor ratio. As swimmers advance into our stroke development and pre-team levels, classes maintain a 6:1 student-to-instructor ratio. This guarantees a supportive, focused environment for every swimmer

What types of swim programs do you offer?

Our specialized, year-round curriculum is divided into three primary programmatic tiers: Water Acclimation (building comfort and breaking water fear), Water Survival (teaching foundational life-saving floating and breathing techniques), and Stroke Development (mastering competitive swim strokes, speed, and stamina). Within these tiers, we offer targeted programs for infants, toddlers, kids, teens, and adults, alongside specialized adaptive aquatics.

At what age can babies start infant swim classes?

Children can begin learning vital water safety skills in our infant classes as early as 3 months old. We firmly believe it is never too soon to introduce babies to gentle water acclimation. Our programs feature no upper age limit, meaning we provide tailored classes for every milestone—whether you are looking for toddler survival skills, youth swim technique, or adult swimming lessons.
