Why Choose British Swim School?

Swim lessons are NOT created equal. Here’s what makes us different.
Our survival-first program teaches lifesaving survival skills, such as how to float, so children are prepared to survive an accidental fall into water.
Our small class sizes prevent overcrowding and allow the instructor to personalize instruction for each student.
Our amazingly friendly instructors are highly trained in how to teach children with a fun and gentle approach.
Our ongoing classes are held year-round in heated indoor pools – not in sessions – because consistency is key in learning a new skill.
Our goal-oriented curriculum sets clearly defined goals for each skill level and allows students to advance individually and at their own pace.
Our health and safety protocols are strictly enforced and start the moment you walk through our doors.
