Update Apr 2025: They finally fixed the temperature and Megan took care of our concerns. But the old coaches have left the facility and there is constant turnover and it is hard for kids to adjust with the new ones.
My son who is 5 year old attends Tutle 1 with Coach Colleen (who has been the best coach we encountered so far when compared to the other swim schools). The biggest concern we have woth 9 AM class on Sunday morning is the cold air and water temperature which makes kids discouraging to get into the water and learn swimming. The horrible part of this is when they come out of the pool and wait for their turn sitting on the deck. We brought this issue up with Megan and Ryan who keep apologizing for the bad temperature and state that the swim school doesn't have temperature control which is the problem they would have to deal and address woth Echelon gym management.
I will tell you that there are other swim clubs around that have good quality services. The best part of this swim club is the caoches and staff at the pool.

Amazing how much confidence is input into water survival even for the youngest children. I learned a lot here partaking a class with my baby. Hannah is very sweet, sincere, and experienced. Ryan was warm and a great help for the first class. I really like the environment and the confidence it brings to both parent/child.

Unfortunately, my experience with this swim school was quite disappointing. The instructors lacked professionalism, and the environment did not feel supportive or encouraging. Rather than helping me gain confidence and improve, the approach actually discouraged me from wanting to continue learning how to swim. Communication was poor, and I did not feel that my needs or progress were taken seriously. I cannot recommend this place to others based on my experience.

I had to update my review to include my experience in the adult swim classes: What an amazing experience FINALLY learning to swim as an adult! I currently have my child enrolled in classes and it's always been my dream to learn to swim. I even tried taking classes in college with no luck. My fear of water kept me from so many fun activities in life. But not any more. I've learned all the strokes and treading water, woo hoo! Swimming is so much fun and my favorite sport now, to my great surprise! I'm actually looking forward to future social gatherings with pool access to continue practicing what I've learned at BSS. A special shout-out to Brielle, Alexis, Molly and Shaun! Y'all are the real MVPs and I appreciate all of your patience in helping me to perfect my strokes and technique.
Original review about child classes: Love this school! My child has been attending for over 6 months and already moved up 2 levels. She is very easily distractible at times but the instructors are so patient with her.

I never thought I would learn to swim, especially after turning 50. But I always wished I do... I have to pinch myself, but now I am there, able to swim all 4 styles!
I am so thankful for all the excellent instructors at the BSS for everything that I learned from them. Their expertise, exceptional attention to technical detail, candor, playfulness, and continuous encouragements, made the learning experience a wonderful one. Swimming is now my favorite way to exercise. Anthony, Coleen, and Shawn: you are my superstars for guiding me in turning a dream into reality!

I started at British Swim School as an adult beginner. I had no swimming experience, started from 0 and wasnt comfortable in the water. Instructors Rita and Anthony are awesome and always helpful in finding ways for me to master swimming. I have learned a lot so far and am looking forward to learning more each lesson.

My daughter was a non-swimmer when she started at BSS. But now she doesnβt just know how to swim but how to swim safely. I am forever indebted to British Swim School for the professionalism that their instructors display at every session. And the confidence that my daughter now has in any body of water.

We are very impressed with the customer service and the quality of the swim teachers! The attention we received from Stu - being contacted the moment we signed up and my son receiving congratulatory messages when he moves up a level... all of the little things have made us very happy customers! Each teacher we've interacted with has been kind and attentive to our child. We love British Swim School!

The team members all have been great and very supportive and knowledgeable with my children. We are enrolled in the Turtle 1 and Tadpole. The kids have learned so much from their time at this school. We feel that our kids have will be safe in any situation where pools are involved from the information & techniques they have learned at this school. I highly recommend this swim school for any adult and or child.

This swim school is awesome, If youβre thinking of joining, I say go for it! Everyone Iβve been in contact with for support during my time here was always nice, respectful and helpful. The swim team was great and really helped me during my lessons. Theyβre all very very encouraging, even when you arenβt sure about what youβre doing theyβll guide you and help you figure it out. The gym theyβre located in is nice, I was able to use the lockers after lessons and they have a lot of parking.

This is the best place to go for your children to learn how to swim. The coaches are so kind, patient and really learn your children's strengths and weaknesses. They encourage safety first.
I want to shout out the coaches that helped my daughter. Special thank you to Coach Mindy (we miss you), Coach Amina, Coach Anthony, Coach Colleen and last but certainly not least Coach Ryan. We hold you near and dear to our hearts. We thank you.

Thanks to your swimming instructors I am able to go to the pool and swim. I go every other day. I had swimming lessons about three years ago and was unable to swim after I completed the lessons. Again I want to thank your swimming instructors. They saw my weakness and with their instructions I was able to correct my problems and I started to swim. I am 78 years old and I have had many challenges such as 3 hip surgeries, cancer, and an auto accident with 2 back surgeries, My experience is that SWIMMING is the BEST WAY to help you to strengthen your body. It is the ONLY WAY. Again, Many Thanks Patricia A

When I first started taking lessons from this school, I was a little intimidated as most swimmers from this school are little kids and I'm an adult in my 40's who never learned how to swim. At first I thought the private lessons are a bit expensive compared to the other swim schools. But I needed the one on one attention so that I could learned quicker. I had Emily as my trainer for a while. She was always patience and giving me a lot of feedback so that I was able to correct and improve my skills. I'm happy to know that I can now swim freestyle, breast stroke and back stroke after having lessons for a few months. I'm only giving 4 stars because there were many times when lessons were cancelled either by me or by the school, no one called and rescheduled for makeup lessons with me. And this has happened on many occasions.

i'm in my 50's and never learned to swim or float on my back; water always went up my nose and I would panic and sink. But thanks to BSSSJ I don't sink anymore and I learned to breathe out under water, float on my back, swim on my back, and flip over from back to stomach and swim. Still need to work on my side breathing but I'm definitely making progress thanks to them.

The instructors are all very kind and patient. My kids have had swim lessons before and have left in tears. This has never happened here. They take time to learn about your child and their abilities. I would highly recommend the British Swim School!

This is a great school! My son started as a child who had no idea how to swim. The British Swim school taught him how to swim from floating, freestyle, backstroke, and most importantly water safety. I can't say enough great things about this school. We have attended the school for a year and a half and always had a positive experience.
