We've had a great experience with British Swim School! After trying a few swim schools in the Charlotte area, we decided to stick with this one. While it may not look fancy from the outside, the quality of instruction and care is unmatched.
We've been attending for over a year and have tried several of their locations. Across the board, the instructors have been exceptional—warm, genuinely caring, and communicative, with a thoughtful approach that’s personalized to each child’s individual needs. They strike the perfect balance between being playful and setting clear boundaries when needed.
Our son has made incredible progress since starting lessons, and it’s been such a joy to watch his confidence and skills grow.
The app makes scheduling a breeze, and the administrative team is consistently patient, accommodating, and focused on customer care.
We would confidently recommend British Swim School to other families.

We’ve been really happy with British Swim School for our 8-month-old son. The instructors are patient, friendly, and make the lessons fun and safe. It’s a great way to get him comfortable in the water early on. Highly recommend for babies just starting out :)

Great coaches. Class size is small so coach:student ratio is good and coaches are able to work based on kids capability.

We’ve had a wonderful experience with the British Swim School! My 4-year-old son looks forward to his class every week, and it’s heartwarming to see how much he enjoys it. The coaching team is fantastic—patient, knowledgeable, and great at building confidence in young swimmers. I’m amazed at how much progress he’s made while still having so much fun. Thank you for creating such a positive and engaging environment for kids to learn such an essential life skill!

Great teachers, but use LA Fitness pools that are frequently cited for being unsafe. Hygiene is important.

This is hands down the best experience i've had - my 5 yr old was scared of splashing, was too sensitive to water on his face and would never dare to dunk his head in. the instructors were so patient and so calm and gentle, only 3 classes in and already he went into our pool and just jumped in like a pro screaming cannon ball! He is so proud of himself and feels so confident and has gotten over his water fear and splashing. Jackson is amazing with the kids and the location is super accommodating, keeping a very very small count of 2 - 3 kids max which really helps them get full attention and learn from the intructor and friend. LOVE THIS PLACE!

The scheduling availability was great, with an opportunity to make up time if you communicate in a timely manner. The app makes it easy and is useful in most situations. Most locations are not suitable for adult-sized people wanting to learn to tread water, but outside of that the pools were fine.
