    If you wanna see fast results then you gotta register your kids to Teddi bear swim school! Staff is super sweet and encouraging! My kids and I absolutely love it! Miss Teddi and her daughters they work hard with each kid so they learn how to dive in and swim! My daughter was super scared of water and she would she scream and not go in.. but since she is here she actually look forward to go swimming.. she still whines a little but she loves it and enjoys the sessions! My son been going swimming for three years somewhere else and didn't learned much but in a week I can see he is doing much better and more confident! Looking froward for next summer already!

    Just a couple days prior this kid was scared to dunk his head underwater.

    I have a 5 year old who was very reluctant to go in the water without a life vest on and was skeptical about him learning how to swim. On the very first day the instructors were able to get him in the water and he was dunking for rings and diving off the board. After 2 weeks of lessons he is now able to swim from one side of the pool to the other and isn't scared to put his head under water. He still isn't amazing at swimming, but I believe this was a great base to start off with. If my schedule had worked I would have been happy to keep him in class for as long as he needed, but because it's mon to fri 30 mom every day it was difficult to stick to. Would HIGHLY recommend this swim school.

    LOVE Teddi Bear Swim School! This is the 2nd year that my son and daughter are taking swimming lessons here and they love coming as much as they did last year. All the instructors (Teddi, Christina, Alicia, and Donald) are incredibly patient with all the kids. They know how to push them just enough to get them swimming better. Lessons are every weekday for half an hour. I think having lessons every day is crucial to learning to swim. The other schools we checked out before coming here offered 15-minute lessons once or twice a week.

    If I can give 10 stars I would! My boys loved it. My youngest Daniel was always reluctant to go and cried a few times, but once there was fine. Later he would ask me to take him to swimming class. I signed up for 2 weeks. It was enough for my 7 year old Brandon. I could have used another week for my 4 year old, but our summer schedule didn't allow for that extra week. There is always next year. I truly appreciate Teddi , Christina, and Alicia's patience and hard work. Don't think twice about signing up your children if you want to feel confident in letting them get in a pool! thanks Teddi Bear Swim!

    My 4 yr old jumping off the diving board

    This school exceeded all my expectations. I could not believe it when I saw my scared 4 year old diving down on her own to grab rings. I took her to a different swimming school last summer and she would cry everytime she was under water, so to see her eager to jump into the pool is just amazing. My oldest daughter is also a much stronger swimmer now, thank you to the teachers here and Teddi.

    My girl's get so excited when I tell them it's time to go to swim class!

    This is our second year coming to Teddi Bear Swim class and my daughter's love it! They have them diving for rings/coins at the bottom of the pool and diving off the diving board on the very first day! The class are not too full so everyone has a turn with each instructor. There is a nice waiting area for the parents in full view of the pool so you don't miss anything. I'm really glad I chose Teddi Bear Swim class for my girls. The experience for them has been a great one!

    Ask the Community - Teddi Bear Swim School

    Hello, my son is scared to take a lesson with a teacher. Would it be OK for a parent to take the lesson with him til he's comfortable?

    Is this a salt water pool?

    No this is chlorine pool but we keep the levels as low as we can and it is heated to 88* every day.

    Hi, are you offering swimming lessons this summer? Also my child is 2 years old, is she too young for your classes? Thank you.

    We start @ 4 years and 41" tall. We offer lessons every summer for the months of June and July. Registration will open up in February.

    Looking for someone to come to my house in Long Beach near 605/405 and give a lesson to my 6 and 8 yr olds?

    We do not travel to give lessons. We offer 30min/5 day a week lessons in our backyard heated (88*) pool in semi-private classes of a 3:1 ratio.

    Do you teach adult women who barely know how to get into the pool and can only float and do backstroke?

    Yes we do. But we are a summer only program, concentrated lessons when schools are out. June & July. Closed for summer 2019… Read more

    Would like to ask the time frame you do classes. I know it's 30 mins daily Monday to Friday. But is it the 9-6 posted on this site? Thanks.

    Depending on the week you chose to begin, lessons run between 10 -6. You can find more detailed information at teddibearswimschool.com.

    Hi Teddi, is there any way you would be open to a one on one with me and my son? He is 13 months old and VERY active. He loves the water and we live close in Buena Park ;) I will also call if I don't hear from you on here. Thanks!…

    Sorry, we are strictly a summer only program. Teddi

    How are your swim lessons adapted to children with special needs? My son is 3 and has autism. I'd like to get him to learn to swim being that he already loves water. Are classes still tailored in a group setting or required to be private?

    Our classes are designed as group lessons beginning at 4 years old.

    Is it one class a week?

    Lessons are 5 days a week for 30 minutes a day. Weekly sessions are offered from June 4, 2018 through August 10th.

    How much is the tuition? Is this one to one class?

    Classes are every day Monday through Friday for 30 minutes a day. Sessions are $120 per week. We offer small group classes, 6 kids in a class with two instructors and a third instructor if needed. We have 37 years of experience. Come check us out

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.

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.

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. :)
