Fee Details

  • 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.
  • As payment we accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover and Amex. No cash or check payments.
