They are gentle, but pushed my kids just enough to massively improve their swimming over the couple of years we went here.

It's also got a deep end so the kids can learn to dive, something our kids hadn't been able to do in some other Lakewood pools.

This got us in the door. What kept us is the PHENOMENAL staff. They have swim coaches for all different type of swimmers. They incorporate fun in their lessons which keep the kids wanting to come back. I made the huge mistake of thinking it would be good to diversify my 3 year olds experience with a different coach after 7 months of lessons. When he freaked out, they were supportive of our needs and worked with him to enjoy getting in the pool again. I'm so grateful! I should also mention their facilities which are always clean. The pool truly is heated. When I first joined I was annoyed at their makeup policy but have come to not mind it so much. Makeups can only be scheduled 3 days in advance but surprisingly that's not proven to be an issue. Only an asset as I havn't lost money by needing to cancel. Shout out to Kim, Lexi, Mandi, Ashley, Carly and Teddie! Y'all are especially awesome.

Parents - stay aware and vigilant when your child is in the hands of others. We also spent thousands on them keeping our children at nearly the same level with little advancement.

He's on a government waiver that pays for his swim safety classes, which British Swim School knew about and claimed to have experience with. I PERSONALLY paid registration to Eliza, who enrolled us, to get him in and the government took over from there. Mind you, I'm supposed to be reimbursed for the registration fee and any additional funds from a $1000 check from the government. When I mentioned it to Eliza she stopped communicating with me. So my son missed swim class twice, once because of croup and the next weekend his dad tested positive for Covid. I followed all procedures and emailed and texted BSS. I actually called the hotel as well because it was short notice and I wanted everyone to know. The owner Nikki eventually called me and accuse my son of missing his first class too, so 3 in total, which was wrong and I corrected her on. The school literally took his picture on his first day. Then she has the audacity to say the same thing to my sons waiver case manager, who then expressed to me how rude Nikki was to him. This was my email to BSS after speaking with the case manager. "Hello, I just spoke with Elan, and he mentioned that Nikki complained about Lincoln missing two session. Lincoln had croup one week (could have been Covid we didn't test him) and the following week his dad tested positive for Covid. I would never bring a sick child into swim lessons and expose other children, so he missed those two sessions only. And I emailed and texted both times and I called the hotel to make sure everyone was informed about the Covid situation. Nikki then called me under the impression that Lincoln had missed his first session as well, which was incorrect, and I feel like because of that presumption and the funds issue, I have not been treated well by her. I understand there was an issue with the payment, which has been rectified, and I had zero control over; however, I do not understand the continued complaint about my sick child missing swim lessons. Please tell me what I should do differently if Lincoln is sick or exposed to Covid? This is not at all what I expected when I talked with Eliza about enrolling my special needs child at British Swim School. Amber Houghton" I posted a review here just like this one and Nikki called me extremely apologetic and wanting to make up the classes he my son had missed FINALLY. Then she did it again tonight. We were discussing additional classes and the payments and the registration fee. She told me she hasn't been paid as of yet by the government (again, they told me they've worked with these programs before) and that she can refund the registration fee when she received it from the government. I corrected her and let her know I paid out of pocket for the registration and my card should be on file. She responded with, "No card on file." I then responded with a screenshot of my confirmation email with my debit card number attached and on file. The amount of discrimination and disrespect is staggering. And I have all the emails and texts to prove it. I wanted to continue to see the swim instructor Sophia because she's amazing and I would gladly pay out of pocket, but instead I'll be canceling every session we have. Thank you Sophia, you were incredible. Nikki, you should be ashamed of yourself. And from what I can see from other reviews I'm not the only special needs parent having these issues.
