Grateful that we went to British Swim School. We tried other schools before but this one had the right combination of lots of classes and competent coaches. Coach Kayleigh was great and very playful with our child, which made them feel comfortable in the water. We found the app, makeup classes, and lots of class options be very easy to navigate with our schedule.

Our family has been with BSS (Boulder location) since 2023 on and off, and have had wonderful experiences throughout our time.

Recently, our kids had the pleasure of being trained by Coach Caleb. Coach Caleb is competent and very thorough with his instruction. He very personable and passionate about teaching the youth how to swim, and finessing the technical aspects of each stroke.

We are taking a short break this winter and look forward to resuming with Coach Caleb in the new year!

We took tadpole classes for our 15month old son. It’s been three months and cannot see any progress. They changed 3 different coaches in 3 months. Once he got close to getting comfortable, they change the coach. They said he was ready for assessment to move on to next step, but they change the coach and it’s all reset. And the new coach says “Stranger Danger”. Then what’s the point of getting him to these classes.
We know each kid is different and all, but the people there do nothing to probably make him comfortable. You cannot get in the water a minute early but they can send you out even when there are no other classes are going on. The water is cold for an indoor pool. Kids shiver when they get out of pools, but they cannot go in the hot pool to warm themselves ( but those coaches always jump into hot pools soon after they are done).
Oh by the way, my son does everything well when we are in our community swimming pool.

For us, this was an expensive and inconsiderate coaching experience.

The focus on survival fundamentals prior to learning how to actually propel forward in the water creates very strong swimmers. We love sending our kids to the British Swim School. They incorporate play into every lesson which has shown my kids the fun part of swim.

This program - specifically Coach Lauren - are the best! We had tried other programs an they were too loud, too over stimulating, and not enough stability of coaches -- BSS works so hard to make you feel valued. They discuss each session where your kiddo is - what they were good at and where they think they can create safe boundaries to challenge - they make sure you're involved! The ability for my kiddo to move up or stay back in a class based on THIER success not just the number of sessions feels like they are truly supportive of my kiddo and meet him where he is, but always encouraging him to keep growing! We will be in this program as long as we can - grateful to have found the team!

Our 8 month old started swim classes here, and she loved them! The instructor did a great job leading age-appropriate exercises for the babies, and our kiddo left with positive associations of the water. No fear! So glad we found BSS!

Our son is 6 and has been attending swim lessons through our city rec center since he was a baby. While those lessons were helpful to get him comfortable in the water, he still wasn't able to truly swim. We've only been attending British Swim School for a few weeks but he has improved so much in that time! He's now able to float on his back unassisted. His coach has been awesome. We're so happy we found BSS.

So impressed how they are able to work at each child's level and approach from safety first all the way to stroke technique. I am happy my 4 and 6 year old know how to be safe around water, how to save themselves and others, and are making progress on how to actually swim correctly! Also, coach Alex is the bomb.

We have had a great experience with the British Swim School! They have been very inclusive with my daughter, who has a neurodevelopmental condition. Coach Keith is an absolute wizard with his patient and gentle approach, incorporating learning into play. I have seen her make improvements in her safety around the pool already. She is very excited to come each week. Thank you!

Our 2-year-old son is a little swimmer at British Swim School. We love all the coaches - they are kind, confident, and great with young children. British Swim School is also very communicative, flexible, and accommodating. We are so pleased and so happy that our child is learning life saving skills.

Our child began lessons at British Swim School with Johnny with very little water confidence. As the weeks went on, he was getting splashed and jumping in the water with ease. We could not believe it! We are so grateful for our swim lessons here. We found all of the staff to be accommodating and easy to work with. Highly recommend!

We've had a very good experience with British swim school, in the year+ our daughter has attended. The location, and convenience of rescheduling are really nice.

I’m so lucky that Coach Lauren was filling in on my son’s first day and has taken on the role of his instructor ever since. She is phenomenal! My son is on the spectrum and the patience and dedication she shows towards him is greatly appreciated. And the progress he’s made in just a few weeks really shows! I cannot say enough great things about this facility! Thank you!

My daughter started here as a starfish and has progressed RAPIDLY through the program to become a turtle 1. Every instructor has been amazing, great with kids and adaptable to every swim level. Cai, Keith, Brígid, and now Gaby have given my daughter the confidence, and more importantly the skills, to jump into any body of water! Of all the activities she has participated in, swimming is consistently her favorite!

We've had a great experience with British Swim School, and what it really comes down to is the instructors, who have been absolutely excellent. In particular, we've been working with Hannah, who is extremely patient and strikes an immaculate balance between fun and learning. The kids get to be silly, play, feel safe in the water, all the while they are into actually learning how to swim, despite their best efforts. From what I've seen the instructors emphasize being comfortable in the water, which includes each instructor smiling and laughing as the kids continuously splash them in the face, which is encouraged. My kid has made great strides in learning to swim, and I wholeheartedly credit his experience here. While we've been working with Hannah (extremely patient!), all of the instructors I've observed have been similar, and it's a weight off my chest knowing that my kid is learning water survival skills, and hasn't complained once. Five stars for sure.

We’ve done various swim schools with our toddler, and British Swim School has really offered the best balance of patience and gradualism while also allowing the children to be just a bit uncomfortable and grow.

Hannah was wonderful with our child, and he really looked forward to the class. She was firm but fun and patient, like any good teacher should be.

Our daughter has thrived and excelled in her swimming skills thanks to the genuine care and coaching from the BSS teachers. She went from being afraid and nervous in/near the water to confident and excited! The teachers and staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. They give clear and actionable feedback and coaching that has helped Miriam improve tremendously. Cannot recommend this place higher!!

We love this swim school! My kids had done a couple recreation center swim classes and we didn't realize swimming lessons can be so fun. My 3 and 5 year-old are excited to go every Saturday and talk about learning swimming with friends and family. Our instructor is Kieth and he is very patient and fun. The key part of the program is to help kids progress at their own pace, and the clear level goals really motivate my kids to keep challenging themselves.

Overall we are very happy with British Swim School. Small class size, great instructor and the program itself.

We highly recommend them! Our three year old daughter Aurelia has attended their classes in North Boulder once a week for several months, and has had a wonderful experience. She has steadily progressed and gained more confidence in the water. The teachers have been great and work really well with the kids to make them feel comfortable and encourage them. Her main teacher for the longest period was Lisa and she was wonderful, but all the teachers so far have been great - professional, courteous, holding a great dynamic with the children and professional. The classes are well structured and effective. Part of the benefit for our daughter has been just being in a class with other kids learning together, and having some structure and goals, so it's more than just learning important swim and survival skills. If you're looking for an excellent swim school for your child, you should definitely consider the British Swim School!
