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.

I wrote a review a few years ago but wanted to give a shout out to ms Ginny!…read more I have nothing but amazing things to say about watersafe!!! We have had an incredible experience doing the fast track with ms Ginny. It is everyday mon-thurs for 1 month. My almost 5 year old son has done 5 months of fast track and my 2 year old is on her 3rd month. Their progress has been amazing. Ginny is a true gift and a one of a kind teacher. Water safety is really important to us and watching how much both my kids progressed in such a short amount of time has been remarkable, if you can get into fast track with Ginny it is so worth it. Both of my kids absolutely adore her and she really goes above be and beyond!! Also wanted to note the front desk staff is always willing to help and is friendly, texting them is so easy! I love being greeted with smiles! And the maintenance staff does a great job keeping the facility clean. They are constantly cleaning and do a great job! Thank you watersafe! A++++

I was really impressed that my children were swimming across the pool with eyes open and without…read morehelp IN 3 DAYS. This was after a traumatic incident for my daughter 2 years ago and 2 attempts to make progress at a local community center (3@ 2 week m-f sessions over 2 years). If you are looking for somewhere that will get your children water safe quickly, this is the place. The price is comparable to the other swim school, however the ratio is slightly lower. Teddi herself is willing to get into the pool if the need arises so that each child is allowed to progress at a pace that is comfortable. One thing that I think adds to the rate of success is the size of the pool; a normal backyard sized pool. The teachers are gentle yet firm and very experienced. The focus is safety and confidence in the water. We chose to enroll for 4 weeks but only completed 3 because I felt my children were confident and safe enough for me to handle on my own. Book early because she is very popular. I highly recommend Teddi's school.

Ian completed 2 weeks of training at Teddi Bear Swim School this past Friday…read more I was yelping for swimming lessons last year and Teddi Bear showed up. The ratings were high. I called Miss Teddi. She recommended that I go through the website and register for this summer only swimming classes that run till August 1st or 2nd week. She mentioned that it would take 1 to 2 weeks for kids to learn swimming. So, I had it bookmarked. I went through the motions in May, registered Ian for the week of June 25th with an option to continue the week of July 9th. About the school: Their website is well organized, the email correspondence, text correspondence and any other interactions with Teddi Bear staff (Instructors Christina, Alicia and Teddi) is very clear. Class is $150.00/week. Deposit of $75.00 is due prior to classes commencing. They accept e-payments. Due to the deposit, first week's balance of $75.00 is due on the Monday of the class week. Upcoming week's payment is due on Thursday if your kid is continuing on. About the setup: The pool where the swimming classes happen is in the backyard of a house. There is a yard sign in the front lawn. The big RV in the parkway is also cant miss. There is abundant street parking. You let yourself into the backyard, close the gate behind you, sign the waiver form at the table, pay your fee balance, take a seat and wait for your class slot to begin. There is a changing station in the backyard. There appears to be a bathroom inside the backyard garage. I opted for the 4-4:30 PM slot the first week as Ian also has Taekwondo at 6 PM couple of days a week. There were 6 kids per class. The first week it was Miss Christina and Miss Alicia doing all the training. Miss Teddi joined for a few minutes couple of times. The 2nd week it was Miss Christina and Miss Teddi doing most of the training. About the lessons: At any given time there are 2 instructors in the pool. After the initial 5 minute "warm up" instructors usually split up with each instructor surrounded by 3 kids. The first week was about getting familiar with water, balancing in the water and general use of legs, etc. The 2nd week was freestyle swimming, breathing, etc. Miss Christina is very vocal, encouraging kids with positive words of encouragement, holding the kids with utmost care, pointing out the aspects of swimming that are important, etc. There were kids who were crying Monday and Tuesday, but by Wednesday they were getting used to the swim lessons. The lessons being only 30 minutes long is helpful. Ian was out of breath couple of times. Instructors are definitely pacing the session keeping this in mind. All said and done Ian can swim freestyle after 10 days of swim classes. I am so proud of my son as he went from being afraid of being underwater to embracing the concept of swimming. I have to thank Teddi Bear Swim School as they were instrumental in making this transformation happen. I definitely recommend signing up your young kids to learn swimming here. You will not be disappointed.

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.

10/10, hands down. Orange County had plenty of options for swimming schools. However, I felt…read moremostly tailored to children. Some other common issues I ran into were: -Lessons were offered only in a group setting (adults & kids) - Very limited schedules (M-F only, or certain times like 11am on certain weekdays). When I did manage to find a time/day, the prices were outrageous. -Distance. Either in LA county or south county. For an adult who's already terrified of the water, I was starting to feel overwhelmed and almost ended my search. Thankfully, my last call was to British Swim School where I spoke to Priscilla. She was super sweet and was very informative. Never sales pitchy or gimmicky. I explained that the lessons were for me, and I have a fear of the water. She was extremely understanding, and proceeded to explain that their instructors were highly trained and equipped to handle many different scenarios, including mine. You could tell she had the utmost confidence in her instructors, and managed to put my nerves at ease. Scheduling was clear and concise and their prices and schedule are the most reasonable in this area. They have multiple locations. They are located in the 24 Fitness gym. They reserve an entire lane for their lessons. When entering, head over to the pool area. Can't miss their table set up. The instructors Ashlei and Celinda ARE AMAZING ladies! Pleased to say exceeded my expectations. On day one, I was so scared I had tears streaming and trembling happening. Their instructors have an effective, yet very caring approach. Easily got me comfortable, and focused. After about 2 sessions, I began to look forward to my lessons. Now, I'm not afraid of the water! This experience easily surpassed my expectations, from the owners to the instructors. VERY professional bunch. They even have an easy to use app where you can access your schedule, communicate, and so much more. And if you still need help, don't hesitate to call. Ted and Priscilla are AMAZING people and very easy to talk to. They offer private and group lessons. So whether you're thinking for lessons for your child, or yourself - I want to tell you that the swimming is a skill and a wonderful gift for yourself, a loved one, and in general anyone and at any age. The water knows no age.... Or weight for that matter. I wish I had started sooner and you will too. :)
