I really appreciate Sarah's swim instruction. I am an adult swimmer who wanted to learn different strokes. Sarah taught me how to do freestyle, butterfly, and breast stroke quickly and effectively. She is very nice and flexible with regards to scheduling. I highly recommend Sarah as a swim instructor.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at British Swim Academy. When our child first started last year, he was very afraid of the water—even getting their face wet made them anxious. The instructors were incredibly patient, kind, and encouraging every step of the way.
Over the weeks, we saw a huge transformation. The gentle, step-by-step approach helped build their confidence little by little. Now, he not only enjoy being in the water but are actually excited for each class and now he goes twice a week! He has learned basic water safety skills and floats, jumps, splash with ease.
We’re so grateful to Neeru and her team for creating such a supportive and fun environment. Highly recommend this program for any child who needs extra reassurance in the water!
I admired all my coaches and my kids coaches. Along with my kid I also learnt advanced skills and brushed up on my old lessons. Thanks again.

I had a fear of water but both Forest and Kelly helped me a lot to overcome that fear. After that, I learned all 4 styles (Free style, Back stroke, Breast stroke and Butterfly stroke) fairly quickly.
Forest is the best instructor as he is super knowledgeable, makes you do drills and teaches you tips and tricks.
Neeru manages this place really well.

I tried to discuss advancing my daughter to the next class after 3 months and the owner got extremely defensive. She has a lot of ego and attitude. Very disrespectful when we spoke on the phone and constantly spoke over me. We dropped my daughter from the program immediately. She waived the cancellation fee for me because she made it clear she has 100s of other students and didn’t care.

My daughter was very nervous to even step in to the water. She was out of the fear in just 2 classes. The teacher was extremely warm and kind at the same time skilled enough to teach her how to learn the basics at the same time enjoy what she was doing. I am very happy about my experience with British swim school. Neeru is very good and accommodating to support families ask.

This is the school where my kid made visible and quantifiable progress in swimming. The instructors are experienced, caring, and collaborative. Neeru and Forest are always there to address parents' concerns and strategize on how to get the kids to the next stage. This genuine interest in moving the kids up to the next skill set is unique among Bay Area institutions. I consider myself lucky to have found this school.

Excellent class if you really want to learn how to swim!
I did learn how to swim.
Excellent coaches including Melissa, Forest, and Tina. Even if your friends said they can teach you how to swim don't believe them but believe in British Swim School in 24 hour fitness who can really teach you how to Swim!

I had attempted adult swimming lessons previously with other swim schools, but failed to master the techniques and never felt at ease in the water. However, after just a few sessions with British Swim School, I've experienced remarkable progress. The instructors are highly knowledgeable and skilled, diligently guiding me to perfect my technique with each lesson. The management team was incredibly accommodating, and worked closely with me to schedule and plan lessons to fit my needs. Additionally, they do strict checks to maintain excellent water quality by ensuring proper chemical levels in the pool. I'm thrilled with the strides I've made at British Swim School and highly recommend this place for anyone seeking swim lessons.

I am a 47 year old female that have never learnt how to swim but always wanted to. I have been taking weekly once swim lessons at this school for the past one month. In a short four weeks, I have progressed to a point where I am comfortable swimming up to 20 yards at a time, with streamline and forehand movements in freestyle. I am yet to learn breathing techniques but have no doubt will get there soon. I was even able to float on my back and just relax without fear, on my very first class at BSS, as we work on learning backstrokes in parallel. The credit for this humble progress goes entirely to the able and effective guidance of knowledgeable and supportive swim instructors, Ariel and Forest, to the continual and cheerful encouragement of Neeru, proprietor at the school, and the overall positive and friendly environment at this swim school. I can't wait to learn to swim a full lap!

Would 100% recommend this to everyone. We enrolled my 5 year old and the instructors and owners are amazing at their jobs. If you think you can teach your kids or yourself these life skills you can’t lol. Pricing is very reasonable and affordable.
