This is a terrific operation—wonderful teaching, flexible and personal service, real enthusiasm and dedication. The Holiday Inn pool in Hellertown is a perfect place for lessons. In just the first lesson, our grandson was able to overcome his fear of the water and really start to relax and enjoy learning to really swim.

British Swim School of Lehigh Valley places emphasis on both water safety and fun! My kids feel so confident in the water now, and I see improvement with their swimming skills each week. I would definitely recommend swim lessons with this team over any other facility in the area.

Great place for swim lessons, my 5 year old and 5 month old have grown so much, well priced and worth it. I love that it is in a group setting, also l that you get to speak to the owner of the company directly if any concerns, and he is very pleasant to deal with and so are the swim instructor’s.

The British Swim School exemplifies the epitome of professionalism, courtesy and respect. The instructors are eminently qualified, patient and provide an enjoyable learning experience.They are very flexible and accommodating by allowing for make up classes. My 5 year old always looks forward to his classes. I highly recommend this program to anyone interested.

We love our swim lessons with British Swim School of Lehigh Valley! The instructors are caring, encouraging and knowledgeable. My son has made a lot of progress! But they are also patient with him when he’s having a toddler meltdown. So thankful we found BSS!

Our son Cameron used them to start his journey as a swimmer. All of the instructors were incredibly kind to him and made it a wonderful experience! I highly recommend using them, especially if your little one is just starting out in the pool.

Ian M.
Had an excellent experience with coach Adrianna! She was very patient with our little one, who was pretty resistant to being in the water. But she did a great job helping him have fun!
- Ian M.
Valeria C.
We enrolled our 7 year old son at the beginning of June. Previously he only had the confidence to enter a pool with a life vest on. Before the end of summer he was jumping off the diving board, going down slides & swimming underwater without goggles. Love the team here at British Swim School & will forever be grateful for help.
- Valeria C.
Brenda S.
My daughter recently switched to the British Swim School because she wasn’t advancing in her previous swim school. We are so happy we switched! In a short amount of time, she has built confidence in the water and continues to advance each visit!
