My teen loves her teacher here and is having fun while practicing her strokes at her own pace.

My son started at BSS in Glendale when he was 2, and we’ve been super happy with our experience this past year! As an adult who still can’t swim, I wanted to make sure my child would be comfortable + safe in water, and thanks to the great teachers here he LOVES swimming. Some highlights:

- Small class sizes (never had more than 3 kids at a time), which means each kids gets time to practice their skills in a 30 min session. Most recently we’ve had 1:1 classes given my son’s age / skill level, which has been awesome for his development. But when he was younger it was helpful to have other kids in the class to watch and interact with (and the parents are all so nice!)
- Teachers at each level are very patient and playful with the kids, which is especially appreciated on those days when the kiddo decides he does not want to go into the water. We saw this happen at least once with every kid and the teachers were champs about encouraging them, keeping things moving, etc
- My son recently slipped and fell into the shallow end of our friend’s pool, and everyone was surprised to see that he naturally floated to his back! No panic, just natural reflexes after practicing week after week at BSS. Gives us a lot of confidence in taking him to pools and beaches this summer

Finally, love that parking is easy since we just use the 24 Hour Fitness lot, and it’s a family business where the owner Arlene takes time to get to know each kid. Would recommend to anyone who’s looking to start their toddler :)

My 6 year old daughter loves this school. We tried a number of other schools before, but I hardly saw any progress, or the discipline that British Swim School offers. Absolutely all of the teachers are well trained and know how to speak to kids and keep them engaged and interested, even in challenging moments when kids may feel discouraged as the level progresses and classes become more difficult, the teachers continuously work with each and every kid to make sure they feel comfortable. The owners are so welcoming and professional, as well. And most importantly, my daughter is progressing rapidly and is looking forward to coming back each week. Couldn’t recommend the British Swim School more.

We started swim for my son around 18 months. He is now three and loves the water. The instructors are fantastic. Humorous, , kind, patient and just a pleasure to be around. The owners are just as sweet. British swim School has become a part of our weekly routine and I feel better knowing my son is a bit safer in the water thanks to their guidance.

The coaches are all amazing! They have tremendously played a huge part in my son's water skills and confidence in water. He looks forward to his weekly classes. Can't recommend British Swim School enough!

A wonderful swimming program with great teachers (Seth, Mai, Cai, Anthony and Carly). They have both kids and adult classes. Early morning classes can be busy, but the later classes are much more open. My daughter has been part of British Swim School for a couple of years now. Her confidence in the water has grown as well as her swimming technique. I highly recommend them.

It's been 10 months since my son started British Swim class -- and the growth has been amazing. He went from crying whenever he got water on his face to now jumping in and floating on his back with confidence.

Yesterday my son moved up a level where it's more "real swimming." Again, he was super nervous. But Mai and the other instructors heard his fears and made sure his first time doing swimming was gentle. We are very grateful for their patience.

Our twins have been swimming with BSS Glendale since they were 7-months-old…and they love the water! The instructors have all been great, they are as hands on with your kid at your level of comfort. The administrative staff, Doug and Arlene, have been nothing but lovely since day one! If you are thinking about BSS, try it for a month…but I’ll bet you stay for awhile!

Great school to both get kids water safe and learn proper swim stroke techniques. Four months ago my 5 yo daughter cried because she was terrified of swimming and now she LOVES swimming and confidently swims independently. The teachers are wonderful! Highly recommended!
