My 2 kids have had swimming lessons with another company before, but it's with British Swim School that I have actually seen growth and progress. They are able to front stroke, back stroke and tread water in the deep end with ease. Every instructor we've had have been knowledgeable, courteous and extremely professional. The flexibility of available time slots throughout the week accommodates my busy schedule, which is greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend British Swim School and continue to use them.

I enjoyed my time there with my son honestly I donβt have any problems with the instructors they were all nice but that manager Lucas needs to find another job because heβs so rude. I sent an email complaining about the water being too cold his answer was literally Iβm lying no apology or nothing... Please someone in the team go find my email to see what Iβm talking about. Lucas is not professional enough to represent the team.

Instructors who are patient, make lessons fun, and know how to keep kids engaged. Itβs amazing seeing my daughterβs growth and development in the water. Well worth the cost for the experience.

Prab and Colin they are very helpful..
This is my daughter 2nd day.. i have to say 1st day I didn't have good experience.. we thought we will take her out.. coz who ever teaches her wasn't helpful or not even pay her no mind.. but today I find out this 2 boys were so so helpful. And we are happy with the service. So we will keep her for the rest of her training. Thanks.

My son went to that school and he loved it. The teacher assigned to him was always attentive and thought him well. He attended swimming classes on Sundays and all the staffs were very nice and eager to assist with any needs. My family moved far away from the area and I am confident that my son will be able to excel wherever he goes. They will all be missed.

I give this program a 2 star because my kids did learn to swim when other kids was out of class .. However the the lessons are 30 min at $124 I believe a week which is the discount price I paid this for 3 kids each . During our lesson 3 other kids also was scheduled and there was only 1 instructor . None the less, all of the kids in that group was on different levels of swimming . So you cld imagine the confusion for the instructor. I think it was unfair to all the kids who were first time swimmers β¦ and if we are going to pay for a group instruction please allow there to be enough teachers available to support the class . Also the swim class share the room with older adults do to it being inside a 24 hr fitness center / gym . Not returning !!

I donβt recommend this place at all. The reason because the workers are rude and disrespectful.I bring my grandchild and they never had time for him and they would put him on the side stating that their schedul was full.But they received all money for session.

Thanks to my instructor, Garcy, I can now swim and do things I never thought I was capable of in the water, such as freestyle swimming with side breathing and floating on my back. When I first met him, I was timid in the water and felt like it would take me forever to learn. However, Garcy was calm, welcoming, and supportive. He truly was a coach; whenever I practiced, I kept his encouraging words in mind: βWhen you think you canβt do it, believe in yourself and push through.β He was also wonderful with my daughter. Now, I swim regularly with confidence. I also complete laps. This is a great school with an amazing instructor! Thank you, Garcy and British Swim!

My mom and I had an uneventful first class at the Valley Stream location. The instructor Kat wasn't engaged or interested for the adult beginner level 1. I'm very new to swimming, yet she really wanted to work with more experienced male student. She didn't even try to adapt to new students and figure out a new learning approach. I had to ask Kat questions, tips etc to get her to show an attempt of being helpful. She couldn't even fake it for 30min. We were getting frustrated and I left the pool at 4:15 to avoid further frustration. Any adult beginners should avoid Kat because any lesson you get out of her can be easily googled searched or YouTube how to swim videos. Plus, she doesn't care and we are very disappointed with our first class. We will try another location and hopefully find instructors who are patient, attentive and experienced with all swim levels.

British swim school is a great swim school. Iβm an adult learning how to swim. I started back in December. Prior to coming I had barely any swimming experience. Since starting Iβve learned how to tread water, freestyle, back stroke and breast stroke. Thank you to my amazing swim instructor Garcy!!

I started adult level 1 classes at the Valley Stream location and at first it seemed okay, I observed that the workers setting up do so couple minutes prior to the noon opening time, often time they are on their phones. I went for a full month and each week I had a different instructor, you are unable to build a rapport with a single instructor who can see the progress and struggles and be able to motivate, each week it was different. Each instructor has a different approach to teaching which was frustrating because every week we did different activities. The 30 mins goes by really fast especially if there are 4 students in a class and the instructor doesnβt know how to divide time appropriately. Sometimes I did two moves and my time was up. Some of the instructors do not know how to teach and should be trained properly. I do not recommend this particular location of British Swim School and I hope that more people read my review before even considering this location. Also, the water was always cold!

My children were enrolled with them for 5 months. I saw progress with my daughter, however my 7-year old son is still not able to tread water. In addition, I was not able to get a refund or makeup lesson because we went on vacation for two weeks in the same month. People should not be penalized for enjoying vacation with their families. I would not recommend British Swim School.

My nephew was in Jason's 4:15pm Thursday Starfish class. He is a great instructor.
My nephew was afraid of the water and after 5 classes he is moving up to Minnow. Jason is a great teacher.

I am in love with the British Swim School. The scheduling process was easy and the prices are very reasonable. The instructors at Valley Stream are friendly and professional. My granddaughter is very comfortable with them and has learned so much, so easily. It was no problem rescheduling a missed class. I plan on continuing through the program to the last level. I can't say enough about how pleased I am with the entire experience.

The only good teacher they have here is a man name Sebastian. The other instructors are horrible. All they do is stand around and watch kids do improper stroke with no correction or instruction.

I submitted my information online for more information, then was called back and told to go online for more information, not even sure why the girl bothered calling me back in the first place, AND she called me with an attitude on top of that.

Best thing happened for me and my kids, when this swim school opened last year. Without thinking for a second, I enrolled all 3 of my kids last summer. At that time all 3 needed floats to enter a pool. All 3 started at star fish level. 2 of them are now in Turtle 2 while 3rd one about to enter turtle 1. But now I can proudly tell you that 2 of them can swim by themselves without any flotation devices, from one end of the pool to the other, both free style and on their backs with back strokes. 3rd one is almost there as well. Loved the way their instructors, work with each and every child without any discrimination. I just consider this Valley stream location of the British school to be Godβs blessing. Keep up the good work guys.

They scheduled the wrong make up hours for my daughter and did not even say sorry about that.
