Its been an amazing experience. Seeing my boys 11, 9 and 7 from being terrified of the water to seeing then confidently diving in the water its such a accomplishment. I my self never learn to swim and did not want them to grow up without knowing how to swim. I am very proud of my boys of how much they have learn. Thank you to the staff and having the patience to work with them at their own pace. It been a wonderful experience for and my boys. Thank you

Very professional school! Since we switched from another place I can’t believe how much better this is. They never cancel the classes and rarely substitute swim instructors. The instructors look like they enjoy what they are doing and care about the kids. I am very happy we found this place.

Our four-year-old daughter can now, among other things, fall into a pool, flip onto her back, float, and call for help all thanks to this school. The instructors are capable and kind. We plan to send our infant son here as well.

My son loves this swim school! Mr. Sam is his Starfish teacher. Mr. Sam is fun, engaging, patient, and provides great in the moment feedback to students while still being very positive and encouraging. I am so happy with our experience. I highly recommend!

"My 10-year-old is having an incredible experience with British swim school at Rancho Penasquitos. The instructors are extremely patient and knowledgeable. The facility is clean, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. This class provided an excellent blend of fun and learning, and I highly recommend it to any parent looking for quality swimming lessons in San Diego."

It’s been an absolute pleasure watching our son learn and grow with the team at British Swim School. Miss Zoe and the instructors at the PQ location have been outstanding. They are supportive, skilled, and truly caring. My wife and I are incredibly pleased with our son's progress and everything he’s learned. His confidence in the water has grown tremendously, and so has ours. Highly recommend!

We have been coming for a few months after trying 3 other programs and we absolutely love it here.
The program is designed is steps, where a child learns one skill before moving to the next set. I see a lot of progress already in my son's swimming. Love the coaches, they are super positive and energetic.
And Doris is the best, she welcomes all the swimmers, knows them by name and makes us feel at home. Highly recommend this place.

My daughter was an experienced swimmer when she started going to British Swim school in 9/2023. She has always loved swimming and learned at the age of 3. We came to British Swim in hopes to grow my daughter’s skills and technique. She was first apart of the Shark class then once they launched Barracuda in March 2024, Zoe and Jamal highly recommended her to join. It gave her the opportunity to push herself and grow her confidence in the sport she loved. Zoe has been her main instructor throughout this time and she has always been so kind, encouraging and such a great teacher for her. Being apart of this non-competitive swim team, Barracuda has really allowed growth in her technique, endurance and confidence. If you want your kids to one day be apart of competitive swim, we HIGHLY recommend British Swim School. They will make sure your child is ready to crush swim team try outs and set them up for success!
We are grateful for all the swim teachers that have been apart of her journey! (Tesla at UTC!)
Also, thank you to Jamal who is always great at communicating and being flexible with make ups! You all truly show how much you value family! I also appreciate the British Swim app, it made payments and submitting absences and scheduling make ups so convenient.
Thank you!

My son had fear getting his face in the water. After trying to get him do that for a while, I turned to British Swim School The coaches taught him to swim using 4 different strokes and got him comfortable in the water. Thank you British Swim School.

We enrolled our 3 and 5-year-old kids in the swim class at British Swim School, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! The instructor, Bri, and others are incredibly patient and skilled at working with young children. They create a fun and safe environment that makes learning to swim enjoyable for the kids.

I am so glad I found this place! My kids needed a swimming refresher after COVID so we opted for semi private classes. The teachers were patient and taught them all the ropes. I initially wanted my kids to just feel comfortable with the breaststroke and feel comfortable in the water but they know all the strokes now and I’m considering putting them in the swim team now! Jamal and Zoe are wonderful! Honestly, there is quite a bit of teacher turnover but I find that to be a good thing as you get different teaching styles. Also, parking can be a little tricky since you have to compete with the Gym goers but as long as you plan for that, you’ll find parking. All in all-I’m so glad I found this place. Totally recommend!!

When we moved to the area we immediately booked our 3 yo into British Swim School. It's been absolutely worth every penny.
Our teachers have been AMAZING – like seriously, top-notch! If you're even just slightly thinking about booking swim lessons for your kiddo, hit that "yes" button Immediately! Jamal and his team are so accommodating, and I can't stress enough how much our little one has grown to love it. She's now totally comfy in the water, and we're about to book our infant son in too! Highly recommend - 10/10!

My 4 year old has been to two other swim schools and our experience with the British Swim School blew them out of the water (pun intended). I was hesitant to sign him up for a class inside 24 hour fitness, but am so glad I did! They make learning to swim fun by singing songs, playing games, and I appreciate that they keep an eye on the kids skill level to ensure they’re safe and in an age/skill appropriate class. The pool manager Zoe is communicative, friendly, and has great customer service. Highly recommend!

Amazing game-based swim school with kind, wonderful staff members.
We have tried various swim clubs and lessons, and my girls reported that British Swim school is “by far” their favorite. I would have to bribe them with other lessons, but they love going to British Swim School. The owner, Jamal, is really professional and reachable with questions and comments. The teachers have all been extremely top notch - warm, knowledgeable of the curriculum, and on task with the students. We will continue with this organization through the levels and into their non-competitive swim team endurance work.

Their instructors are patient and skilled with children of diverse backgrounds and skill levels. They understand the power of celebration for every milestone and make children feel proud of their accomplishments. I also appreciate their instructors teaching water etiquette and behavior management in a caring way. Thank you for helping my daughter feel confident in the water! She absolutely looks forward to swimming every week!

I'm thrilled to share my family's experience with the swimming lessons at the British School. It has truly been a remarkable journey for my son, who has shown remarkable progress, evolving from a Minnow to achieving the impressive Shark 1 level proficiency.
The instructors at the British School deserve commendation for their exceptional dedication and expertise. Their patient guidance has not only honed my son's swimming skills but has also instilled a sense of confidence in him. Their friendly demeanor and genuine warmth create a nurturing environment where children feel encouraged to excel.
I've been particularly impressed by the flexibility and understanding exhibited by the staff. Their willingness to accommodate varying needs and schedules has made our experience seamless and enjoyable. It's evident that they prioritize the well-being and satisfaction of both children and parents alike.
In essence, the British School swimming program is more than just lessons; it's a supportive community where children thrive and grow. I wholeheartedly recommend it to any parent seeking top-notch swimming instruction in a positive and uplifting atmosphere.
A heartfelt thank you to the entire team at the British School for their unwavering commitment to excellence. Their dedication has truly made a difference in our lives, and we couldn't be more grateful for the wonderful experience they've provided.

We've been very happy with our experience with British Swim School at the PQ location. Administratively, they are responsive and communicative, and the quality of the lessons has been solid. My son looks forward to his classes, and it's nice to have an indoor location so we don't need to worry about the weather.

Our 3yr old son had difficulty getting into the water. He would cry nonstop until I get into the water with him or we leave the pool. Jamal and Zoe put it a lot of effort to help my son get out from his separation anxiety. I tried two other places that provided swim lessons for toddlers but they never put in the effort to help my son get comfortable with the water. The Coach in British Swim School in PQ is amazing. If you want to put you kid in swimming class, I will recommend this place 100%.

This place rocks! My 4 year old son was afraid of the water and refused to learn how to swim. The instructors here were so patient and made this a fun activity for him to learn. He has no problem jumping into the pool after a few lessons here. You definitely want to check this place out!

I have 3 kids (ages 3, 5, and 8), and they are all doing a great job learning the basics of water safety as well as swimming. The instructors are patient and energized, and we love coming to class every week. It's great to see how quickly my kids want to jump in the water, and in a small group, other students are encouraged by their classmates as well. The app we use to access classes is great, and Jamal who runs the school is super helpful and engaged with the classes. One last thought--it's nice to have a heated pool for the kids. Classes can go year-round which is awesome!
