She just graduated to Pre Comp and is now a swordfish. My 10 month old started with the parent tot class for 1 month and then we switched to private lessons with Emily and he's doing so good! He's going underwater and learning to float already.

Coach Leo has been fantastic with our 3 year old son. We have seen so much progress in his abilities to swim. More importantly, to me, my son is so excited to go to swim lessons. Coach Leo is warm, encouraging, patient, and caring. He always wraps up the lesson with a summary of what was worked on and what is to come in the future. He is a wonderful addition to the Watersafe team. We will always be thankful for the invaluable lessons he's teaching our son. Can't say enough about how clean the facility is - staff is constantly keeping things clean and organized. Alex is the person we see most and he is just always so polite and attentive. Love the front staff who are present most of the time we go - Corina, Mikaila, Gaby, and Montana. You all give this place such a welcoming and family vibe.

She was incredibly communicative, followed up with us throughout the process, and provided excellent customer service. She even returned our deposit when we realized we couldn't make the schedule work which we really appreciated. From everything I've heard and seen, I have no doubt kids who take lessons with her learn to swim quickly. We're hoping our schedules line up next summer because we'd love to enroll our daughter then!

Do NOT Bring a Child Who Is Afraid of Water Here…read more My daughter is 3 years old, and this was her very first swimming lesson ever. Before her first lesson, I clearly told the staff that she was terrified of water and that my goal was simply for her to gradually build confidence and become comfortable in the water. I specifically asked them not to force her underwater. The instructor completely ignored my concerns. During her very first lesson, the instructor put my daughter's head underwater. She immediately panicked and cried. You could clearly see the fear on her face, yet the instructor continued putting her underwater multiple times while she was crying. How is a terrified 3-year-old supposed to learn to hold her breath underwater while she is panicking and crying? At one point, she choked on the water, and I had to stop the lesson and pull her out of the pool. She threw up at the pool afterward and told me she never wanted to swim again. It took months for her to overcome the fear from that experience. The staff member later contacted me and apologized. I explained that I was willing to give them another chance, but I made it extremely clear that my daughter needed to go at her own pace and would go underwater only when she was ready. When we returned for the second lesson, I reminded the staff multiple times not to put her underwater. I also told the instructor directly. Instead of respecting my request, I was told that they have their own "curriculum" that they follow. I explained that I understood they had a curriculum, but I was asking them to make an exception because of my daughter's previous experience and fear. Apparently, their "curriculum" is more important than listening to a parent and recognizing when a terrified 3-year-old is crying. They put her underwater AGAIN. My daughter was crying and clearly terrified, and they continued anyway. This was not teaching--it was forcing a frightened child into something she was not ready for. I simply wanted my daughter to learn basic swimming and water safety in a safe, patient, and supportive environment. Instead, they ignored my repeated requests and made her fear even worse. If your child is young or afraid of water, I strongly recommend staying away from this place. I would never trust them with my child again. A child's safety, trust, and emotional well-being should come before any "curriculum."

As parents of a child with special needs and medical challenges, finding activities that are both…read moreinclusive and supportive of his individual needs can be challenging. Aquatic Explorations has given our son a place where he can participate, learn, grow, and feel included, and we are incredibly grateful to have found them. Our son began his swim journey with Coach Oliver, and we couldn't have asked for a better start. Coach Oliver was calm, patient, and understanding, always meeting our son where he was and allowing him to progress at his own pace. Those first swim experiences were incredibly positive and welcoming and helped build the foundation for the progress we are seeing today. He is now with Coach Jason, and all I can say is WOW! Slowly but surely, we have watched him become more comfortable, confident, and independent in the water. Coach Jason is exactly what he needs. He is kind and patient, but also firm and knows when to push him to do a little more each session. As parents who want to protect our child every step of the way LOL, having a coach we can truly trust means so much to us. Coach Jason is making such a positive difference in our son's life, and watching his progress and growing confidence in the water means more to us than words can express. We are so thankful to Coach Oliver, Coach Jason, and the entire staff for creating a place where our son is supported, encouraged, and included. Aquatic Explorations is truly the BEST!

Even though she is young, I see that they have other programs available as she progresses and advances through her swimming like the swim club, the snorkeling program, and the surfing program. I even took a surf lessons myself with the owner, who is absolutely fantastic. It is a great place not just for children to learn how to swim, but for adults to strengthen their skills or even explore other opportunities in the water. Ps they offer free trials

British Swim School has truly been a blessing for our family. From the very beginning, the…read moreexperience has been exceptional. The owners -- especially Ted -- are warm, professional, and genuinely invested in every child's progress. And the instructors? Absolutely incredible. Our son started at the lowest level, with no real swimming experience other than a few sessions at YMCA. Unfortunately, our experience at YMCA was horrible, and I would not recommend anyone waste their money there. In complete contrast, British Swim School has been everything we hoped for and more. Watching our son progress all the way to Turtle Two has been amazing -- his confidence, comfort, and skills in the water have grown tremendously. Over time, we've had the privilege of learning from several talented instructors: Jayme, Kayla, Tristin, Micah -- and forgive me if I missed a few others. Every single one has been patient, skilled, and gifted at making kids feel comfortable. The way they build trust and bond with the children is incredible to watch. A Special Thank You to Elena For the past few weeks, Elena has been our son's instructor, and she has been nothing short of exceptional. Her teaching philosophy is thoughtful, structured, and incredibly effective. She has a rare ability to understand exactly what a child needs -- whether it's confidence, correction, or encouragement -- and she adjusts her approach instantly. Elena has a remarkable talent for breaking down techniques in a way kids can actually absorb. She focuses on both the micro and macro, explaining the small details that make a big difference while still keeping the bigger picture in mind. She notices everything -- breathing rhythm, hand placement, body alignment, comfort level, and even emotional cues. That level of detail is hard to find. Her patience is truly unmatched. She never rushes, never forces, and never makes a child feel overwhelmed. Instead, she guides them with calm confidence, and you can see how much trust kids place in her. Our son responds to her so well -- she has elevated his technique, boosted his confidence, and helped him enjoy swimming in a way we hadn't seen before. For our son, Elena has genuinely been a gift, and we are so grateful for her. This does not minimize the incredible work the other instructors do -- but Elena's impact has been especially meaningful for him. A Program That Actually Works One thing I absolutely love about British Swim School is their program structure. They start with water safety, then move into stroke development, and everything is taught in a very regimented, methodical way. It's based on what works best for kids, and you can clearly see the results. Their pricing is reasonable, and the value you get is outstanding. I want to give a huge shout-out to all the instructors -- every single one has played a part in our son's growth. If you want your child to learn what truly matters in the water, this is the swim school to choose.

Sarah, Ruby, and all the other girls have been patient, understanding and made me feel at ease when I felt my child was having difficulties. Checking yelp I'm very surprised by the ratings. If my son needed additional support and wasn't able to flourish at BSS (Which would probably be from a lack of care on my part and not helping him and participating), I would find him somewhere his needs could be met properly, and not spam 1 star reviews from multiple accounts. Cathy, you should really put that energy into finding a place that's a better fit for your kid. British Swim School has been nothing but kind and understanding with my autistic son, and no one should hesitate to do a trial and see if it's a good fit for their own kid on the spectrum.
