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.
  • Interested to learn more about why British Swim School is the PREMIER swim school in Greater Philadelphia? Contact us today!
