About Our Swimming Classes in Coquitlam
British Swim School is the premier swim school in Coquitlam, offering classes for swimmers of all ages and abilities. Our small group classes emphasize water safety while teaching students to swim in a fun, safe, and interactive environment.
Over the past 40+ years, we have perfected our techniques for teaching essential water safety skills in a comfortable and supportive setting. There are many class levels available depending on the age and experience of the student.
What class types does British Swim School offer?
- Water Acclimation. Perfect for the littlest of learners, these classes are the best place for beginners to start learning how to swim. These classes gradually acclimate swimmers to the water with splashing, singing, and activities to reduce any potential for tears!
- Water Survival. Building on our water acclimation skills, swimmers will begin to explore the water independently while learning the back float, swim strokes, and other safety skills.
- Stroke Development. In our most advanced classes, swimmers perfect their techniques for the four main swimming strokes: freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly.

Hear From Our Parents and Students
We've only been to a few lessons so far and she's already telling me she can't wait to go next week!
My daughter is absolutely terrified of water. I wanted her to learn how to swim though just in case she finds herself in an emergency situation so she can help herself. Her instructors have all been very kind and patient with her. Scarlett, satisfied parent
The swim instructors with British Swim School are all great!
They take time to assess the level of comfort my daughter has with the water and work to improve on the comfort level as well as skills while in the water. They ensure that your concerns as parents are heard while in the water and guide you all of the way. They also have areas for parents to wait and observe which I appreciate. Joy, satisfied parent
