Hear From Our Families
We think British Swim School is the best swimming school in the Bay Area. But don’t take our word for it…here’s what some of our customers have to say.
Whether you want to introduce your infant to the water, advance your child’s swim skills, or you’re an adult who wants to learn how to swim, we have classes and skill levels that meet your needs.
So many satisfied swimmers!
This place is AWESOME!
It is so hard to find a good swim school around the Peninsula and when you do, they don’t have many class time options and all the classes are filled. If you want to book swim classes through the cities around here, you have to sit at your computer once registration opens, or else all the classes get booked fast! Not only are all the staff friendly and attentive, their beliefs as a school are great as well.
We love British Swim School
I have seen so much improvement in my daughter’s swim skills. The first day she would not stop crying because she was so afraid. To see her now, going in with so much confidence and ready for her class, makes me so happy. Happy that we chose these amazing instructors from this amazing school. Survival swimming is the best thing any parent can do for their child.
Extremely friendly staff
My 6 year old loved her first lesson so much that she begged us to sign her up for another lesson for the following day. Loving the extremely friendly staff, kid-friendly lessons and teachers (songs to teach the skills, built-in play time the last 5 minutes of class), convenient location near Tanforan, and clean facilities (since it’s in a hotel). Teacher Mi has been so positive and encouraging, and gives me a quick report at the end of the lesson. The hotel has lots of free parking and a coffee bar in the lobby!
It’s been amazing so far!
All the instructors I’ve worked with are extremely helpful and make me feel comfortable while learning how to swim. I definitely recommend!
We love British Swim School
We had a difficult time finding a swim school that felt right for us, until we discovered British Swim School. They are the one school that provides an emphasis on water safety and education, along with learning how to swim. We live on the coast, and enjoy a lot of summer activities around oceans and lakes, so our hope is our sons learn to become strong and wise swimmers. We’d also like our children to acquire the skills to know when it’s not safe to enter the water.
