We were recommended by one of her friends, and I'm really glad we decided to give it a try. Overall, the experience has been excellent. The instructors are kind, professional, and great with kids, which made my daughter feel comfortable and excited to learn. She enjoyed her first lesson so much that I decided to let her take two lessons in a row. I'm very happy with the progress she's making and would definitely recommend these lessons to other parents.
The only thing I wish were different is the water temperature — it would be nice if it were a bit warmer. Other than that, everything has been great!

Very nice and friendly staff, I just feel that when an instructor has 2 or 3 students then it gets crowded and one can’t get much instructions in half an hour

My daughter has been enrolled here since she was 6 months old. It's been amazing to watch her grow over the last year! She is so comfortable in the water, and it's great to know that she is learning survival skills. We love all of the instructors, and would highly recommend any of them to anyone looking to improve their child's water confidence and safety!

Update:
The owner called me and was very nice. He explained everything and answered my questions. It was very nice to have my issues addressed and to learn about the reason behind creating the school. They really care about the children they teach. Swimming is definitely an important skill and gives parents peace of mind. Companies like this are worth trying and giving a second chance even if the initial impression wasn’t great the first time.

Original Review:
The instructors were phenomenal with all the kids including my son. I was very happy to see him growing confidence with being in the water. I had to cancel the class since we have several pre-planned vacations. I was not given an alternative or any other option. The front office lady wasn’t exactly helpful and she was dismissive to the point of argumentative. I still don’t know how it works. I would not recommend to parents unless they don’t have any vacations planned. It would’ve been nice to keep my son in the class but I would rather not call to ask any questions. I called a few times because I just didn’t understand how to use the app and if there was a way to keep my son enrolled but to quote her “I already told you last time!! I don’t know how else to say it” Geez…clearly if the way you explained something once isn’t clear then maybe try a different way? I love the instructors but the office? No way!!!!

I would highly recommend these folks. Everyone is so welcoming and accommodating. They take a lot of different approaches to teaching and build confidence in young swimmers. My boys look forward to going each time and I'm glad we decided to go with British Swim School, specifically this team in Buford. Wow!

Update: A year in and would absolutely still recommend! Keep up the great work!

We love BSS and our instructors Tracie and Chrissy, they are so patient and great with all the kids. It’s more than just swim lessons, my daughter when we started learned social skills, sweet songs, and continued to have her love of the pool grow.

British Swim School has been great for all 3 of my kids who are at varying ages and levels of swimming. The staff are wonderful and have made my kids feel so comfortable in the water. Having various levels and having the ability to advance in levels has been a huge motivator. I highly recommend them!

We’ve enjoyed lessons for my 5 and 2 year old since May. All the instructors are so nice. My 5 year old daughter is gaining more confidence and skills (neither of my kiddos were ever afraid of the water, though). My 2 year old’s Tadpole class was getting a little monotonous, but today our lesson had rising instructors and seasoned instructors, which was awesome! I got new tips and we worked on new skills. Overall a great experience and we’ll continue lessons here for some time. The pricing is very reasonable as well.

The instructors have been great with my daughter. She has grown tremendously in not only her water safety/survival and swimming skills, but also in her confidence in herself. She is excited to go to class each week.

I had a wonderful experience at the British Summer School where I enrolled my 9-month-old daughter in a swimming class. The teachers are incredibly kind and enthusiastic, always ready to help the students. The swimming classes are well-organized into different levels based on each child's abilities, ensuring that everyone receives the appropriate level of instruction and support. This thoughtful approach made me feel confident that my daughter was in good hands. I highly recommend this summer school for anyone looking for a fun and educational experience.

I’m very satisfied with the level of patience the instructors have with the kids. I would recommend to bring your kids. The younger the better, it’s so important to be able to defend yourself in the water.

I cannot recommend the British Swim School highly enough! They've done an incredible job teaching both of my kids how to swim. The instructors are professional, patient, and really know how to connect with children. My kids have gained so much confidence in the water thanks to their lessons here. The scheduling options are convenient. If you're looking for a swim school that truly cares about your child's progress and safety, look no further than the British Swim School!

The customer service is bad. My kid has to leave the area to use the restroom. I ask the question “why” no reason given. Then I notice other kids using the restroom in the swimming area. This lead me in a different mindset. Her lessons has stopped.

We love British Swim School. My 9 year old daughter has been wanting to join a swim team but we found out that all swimmers need to have basic swim skills completed first. I love that they teach them survival swim skills for the worse case scenario. They are very organized, they like to to take their time with each student and make sure they are ready to move to the next level as they go. Looking forward to watching our lil one move up in levels so she can get to her end goal!

Great experience here
Lovely teachers
Management available
I like the fact that they have a personal touch, they know their students well
I actually like the fact that it is not a typical swim school. In terms of volume they have a maximum kids they can have so hurry and secure your spot. This for me is great because they really get to know how their student progress and help them grow better.

Something I never saw in other swim school is the fact that they would comment on kids performance each session and if you have access to a pool they will tell you what the kid can practice.

I think that BSS is great for young swimmers and swimmers who are reluctant in the water. The way the instructors speak to the children is AMAZING! Their ques are easily remembered and they provide a lot of positive feedback to the children. (Not just good jobs, positive constructive feedback)

Everyone that we have worked with is wonderful and knowledgeable at the British Swim School-Buford! I love the pace that we go at for my two year old. She is very comfortable in the water and has shown great progress in a short period of time. She loves going to swim school and is ready to participate right away. I love the way they teach water safety. I have recommended to friends, and they have already started classes as well.

We love British Swim School! We enrolled our 2 and 5 year old kids several weeks ago. The kids love going, and we love the fun, structured and goal oriented program. We always know what the kids are working toward. We love that they put survival first. If our 2 year old isn’t feeling a certain activity that day, they are encouraging and remind us he is still making progress. Highly recommend!

My wife and I cannot stress how impressed we are with British Swim School at LA Fitness - Buford, GA. After having two children attend their classes, it is easy to see that they have a seasoned and successful program with proven results. The instructors and staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and very attentive to the children. You can watch the instructors test the tolerances of the students and tailor their approach to the lesson by the how each individual student reacts to what is being taught. We have attended another swim school locally and there is no comparison on the quality of the staff and program here at British Swim School. Thank you for taking such good care of our little ones and keep up the great work!

Tracie and the staff were very welcoming and we felt at ease right away. My one year old was visibly more comfortable in the water after only two lessons. Tracie made sure we knew exactly what to do and why we were doing it. She was very patient and kind when working with the kids. I highly recommend British Swim School!

I can't say enough good things about our experience with British Swim School in Buford. Tracie and her staff are excellent with children and made my kids feel comfortable. This is a HUGE deal as I have a child who has big issues with water. She can hardly tolerate getting her hair washed in the bathtub so seeing her learn and have fun in the pool is a big deal. Tracie really helped to put her her at ease and she has since been begging to return. I would recommend this business to anyone.
