Welcome to British Swim School
at The Galleria

Our pool is located within The Galleria which is located at 77 Finch Avenue East, Toronto ON, M2N 6H8. The pool facilities are open to our valued members. Please note that we do not offer drop-in lessons or drop-in swimming memberships. Our lessons are specifically designed for our members, who have the privilege of enjoying access to our facilities as part of their membership.

Offering you easy access near the intersection of Yonge St & Finch and close to Finch Subway station. Underground parking is available. British Swim School Program operates inside this beautiful residence facility. 

A wide variety of small group classes are taught year-round at this climate-controlled heated pool. The facility offers on-deck seating and nearby change rooms and restrooms.

Our highly skilled, friendly instructors receive intense training in a curriculum based on forty years of teaching experience. We cater to the littlest of beginners as well as more advanced swimmers and adults. This location is the perfect destination for families to learn to swim with us, while sharing fun and laughs along the way.

What’s so special about British Swim School? Here’s what we do differently:

✅ British Swim School Water-Safety Lessons work for students of ANY AGE. Most of our students are 3-4 years old, but we start as early as 3 months, and also teach adults.

✅ We teach WITHOUT FLOATIES, because they give children a false sense of safety and do not prepare them for real-life emergencies. We only use them for playtime, never for skill development.

✅ No one has more expertise. Our lessons are based on 40 YEARS OF TEACHING EXPERIENCE. We have taught hundreds of thousands of student our way, we currently teach 17,000 lessons per week – and we have seen it all. Every child is different, and our program is purposely designed to help any student no matter the age or ability (including special needs).

✅ We are the only school who teaches children in their STREET-CLOTHES during our Survival Week several times per year, because real-life accidents happen fully clothed and a child needs to know how this extra weight feels.

✅ British Swim School instructors are amazingly FRIENDLY and have been HIGHLY TRAINED in how to teach children swimming skills. They know much more than just how to swim well.

✅ British Swim School lessons are GOAL-ORIENTED to accomplish the fastest progress for any student. Master your 5 goals, and you will graduate to the next level.

✅ British Swim School lessons are held year-round ongoing and NOT IN SESSIONS, because CONSISTENCY is key in learning a new skill. You can start any time.

✅ Students learn better in SMALL GROUPS, that’s why British Swim School’s beginner classes are 4:1 max.

✅ British Swim School students graduate and advance INDIVIDUALLY, no student is held back or pressured by the progress of the group.
