The overall swim experience is good. no complaints. Keep an eye on recurring monthly charged once you end up unenrolling. Their system is disconnected. I was charged 3 months after unenrolling.

British swim in south Lyon has been amazing! The staff, swim instructors and the facility are fantastic. One thing Iβve actually come to love is when we have used our make up classes, our girls have gotten to receive instruction from different teachers. That has been very beneficial for them and how they learn from different people. Both girls are so confident in the water now and as parents my husband and I couldnβt be more thrilled!

Brutal Experience β Felt Like a Sauna, Not a Swim School
I donβt know what kind of operation British Swim School is running, but keeping the place open with NO working air-conditioning is wild. It was so hot inside, I felt like I was being poachedβand I wasnβt even the one swimming. The air was thick, the smell of chlorine and sweat was unbearable, and everyone looked like they were one degree away from passing out.
Parents were fanning themselves and kids looked miserable. At one point I seriously considered jumping in the pool fully clothed just to survive.
How is this okay?? Itβs not safe, itβs not professional, and it sure isnβt the kind of environment where anyone should be learning to swim. Fix the AC or close the doorsβdonβt cook your customers alive.
Will not be returning unless the temperature drops 20 degrees and common sense returns with it.

I joined the adult swim program at British Swim School of South Lyon, and it has been a fantastic experience! The small class sizes allow for personalized attention, making learning so much easier. The instructors are patient and knowledgeable, creating a comfortable environment for swimmers of all levels. Plus, the facility is always clean and well-maintained. Highly recommend!

Our 7 y old son has been going here for 2 years already and he loves it there. His little brother started at the age of 2 and he had water fear initially and had melt downs every class. But Ms. Genevieve stepped forward to help him. She patiently held my son throughout the class even though he was screaming out so loud. Thanks to her, his fear for water has disappeared just with that class and always loved being in water ever since. Grateful.

When we first started BSS, we had Tiffany as an instructor. She was great! We ended up having to change days due to our schedule and ended up with Tahani. My son βclickedβ with her immediately. I instantly saw a growth in confidence and trust in his teacher. I hope we are able to stick with her throughout his swim journey. Additionally, the front desk staff are always friendly! I highly recommend this swim school.

I love that they can work with your schedule and allow makeup classes when needed. My daughter loves the water and I can see the progress sheβs made and learned, sheβs now 2! I highly recommend British Swim School to anyone looking for a swim class for their kiddos!

Weβve just started at British Swim but canβt say enough great things. Our daughter previously had swim classes and our son has not. They have gone above and beyond to make them both comfortable in their classes and we are already seeing improvements in their comfort level in the water. We are excited to continue at British swim.

From all the swimming schools I have taken my children to, British Swim School is definitively the best one of them. All the employees are friendly and truly care about each child they are teaching. They have small classes and a very clean facility. Even the children who are afraid of water feel comfortable in the pool after a few lessons!

My 6 year old has been attending British Swim in South Lyon for almost 4 months or so now. She has gained so much confidence since starting classes there! Not just confidence while in the water but every instructor she's worked with has been extremely encouraging and helpful. She looks forward to her class every week and we look forward to watching her improve and enjoy herself with the staff and fellow swimmers.

We attended with our 2 year old for almost a year. We started in the parent tot class then our daughter moved up to going in the pool alone. Honestly - I wish we had left sooner. Some of the instructors didnβt care that she was terrified of going under water and just dunked her. There was no time to work with a child individually because they pack 4 kids into 25 minutes. With a full class sheβd get 3 turns to go into the pool, float on her back then get dunked. There was one fabulous instructor who was great with her but she changed days. We are now doing private lessons elsewhere where she gets a full 30 minutes and is actually learning to swim. Maybe the classes are good for older kiddos but after paying for nearly a year she didnβt learn much besides she terrified of going under water.

We are so happy with British Swim School! My 4 year old son had a major meltdown last week and the staff was EXCELLENT. He wasnβt scared to swim but didnβt want to go in the water. They were very gentle with encouraging him to join class and knew exactly how to handle it! I was very impressed.
Iβll admit that their classes seemed to progress slower than expected at first but 6 weeks in and I see just how much my 3 kids have learned! Ages 2, 4, 7 are all doing great I am comforted by their skills for the summer months at the beach.

The facility is always clean. Lesson transitions are very smooth and organized. We love that parents have a clear view of children receiving instruction in the pool. Small class sizes ensure that each student receives one on one attention. Instructors and staff are helpful and accommodating. The portal is easy to use to sign up for classes and schedule absences. Phone calls are returned promptly.

I have been very impressed with the instructors, their interactions with my daughter, and the facility itself. She is always greeted with a smile when she enters the building and the front desk employees address her by her first name. I feel like she has shown progress her swimming skills in her first few weeks at British Swim School. The instruction she receives is age appropriate, consistent, and easy to understand. We are very happy!

Great place that seems to genuinely care that the kids learn and grow. Instructors are wonderful, owners are great as well. I love that it's efficient - you go in a few minutes before class, change in the changing room (large, unisex room with showers, private stalls, large cubbies for storage), go to your class, change & go home. No fuss, no muss! Lobby/viewing area just outside of glassed-in pool is large with lots of comfy seating for family. Have been going since they opened & will continue to go!

Theyre amazing with kids here, and the staff is also really helpful and always kind. I've recommended BSS to three other families and they all love it as well. The facilities are always really clean and I love the small family areas, I have other kids so it's nice to have somewhere for them to hang out and color while they wait. My kids love coming for lessons and have learned a ton already!

My daughter started classes last week and I brought my brand new gopro to record her and it fell out of our bag in the parking lot and I lost it. We called to see if anyone turned it in and no luck. But when I showed up the next week a brand new gopro was waiting for me. The owner bought me a new one. I have never in my 39 years had a stranger do something so nice for me. I am shocked and so thankful that someone would do this for me. Thank you so much. I will do my best to pay it forward. If this is any indication of how they do business than your kids are definitely in the right hands here. I am a customer for the foreseeable future for sure.

Two children, in my family, go to British Swim School in South Lyon. We were impressed from the very first day!
The pool is very clean and maintained.
The customer service could not be more accommodating. The instructors are geared to show children how to feel comfortable in the water and practice with confidence the various swimming techniques. The youngest member of our family started at British Swim School about a year ago. She did not want any part of water on her face. We watched the instructors delicately help her to enjoy swimming by building her confidence and skills. She has now advanced and looks forward to each and every class!!
Thank you British Swim School and all the great experiences you offer

British Swim School continues to provide an outstanding swim program that is complemented by an extreme attention to cleanliness!! They have transformed our 6 year from putting their feet into the water to swimming proper strokes in a lane. The facility is always clean, organized, and ran efficiently; which for a kids business is hard to come by. We are gratefully for their program and continue to be amazed by the progress of our 6 year old.

We have been very pleased so far with the British swim school! Thrilled to have this location in South Lyon (we switched from another big swim school in Novi) and have been very happy with the clean facilities and friendly staff. Great mix of swimming skills as well as fun for our 2.5-year-old son. I also love that they get to burn off energy in the little inner-tubes at the end of class. Instructor Viyan has a wonderful friendly energy and our son responds so well to her instruction!

The swim school is very nice and couldn't be happier with the teaching experience. The only downfall is the changing rooms. They are extremely small. I bring my infant along to watch my older child swim. The dressing rooms are so small I have to leave the infant carrier outside of the room in order to fit. There is also no bench in the room so you have to do everything standing on the floor.

Prior to joining British Swim, my son was enrolled in another large swim school. It didn't focus on survival skills which is the number one reason we want our son to learn how to swim. Switching to British Swim was the best decision we made. We can already see a vast improvement in his swim/survival skills, and equally important, his confidence in the water - he now gets excited for swim school and to see his instructor! Great service, staff are always helpful, instructors are true professionals and very well trained, and the new location is so fresh, vibrant, with the chicest layout. I cannot speak highly enough of this place! Highly recommend A++++

This place is such a blessing to South Lyon! We were previously going to swim school in Canton and we are so happy to have something closer to home. My 4 year old daughter has always been nervous to swim and she has made huge improvements in only 4 weeks. She cried the whole way there the first time and now she can't wait to go back each week. The instructors make the kids so comfortable and the owners are very hands on and friendly. My son (1.5) just comes to watch and they know his name and make sure he's having fun too. The facility is beautiful and is not packed so the kids seem to get more time in the water than at other swim schools we've attended.
