We have been bringing our boys here since they were 8 months old! Wyatt has been amazing with them and our oldest (now 3) is incredible in the water! It is such an amazing thing to watch your child's confidence grow with each new level they achieve. They have such a special bond with Wyatt after all these years and it's so fun to watch! We even had to get matching goggles to match Mr. Wyatt! Honestly the best! I can't say enough great things about the place as a whole and Wyatt!

I cannot express enough gratitude for Mr. Daniel who worked wonders with our two-year-old son. Since day 1, Daniel demonstrated an incredible level of patience, love, and understanding that truly set him apart through the crying, frustration, and hesitations of my son. Daniel handled it calmly and never rushed our son, allowing him the space and time he needed to adjust and feel comfortable in the water. What truly made the difference was Daniel's constant encouragement. He celebrated every tiny victory, every splash, and every moment of bravery, no matter how small. His positive reinforcement and guidance transformed what could have been a daunting experience into a journey of growth and confidence for our son. Thanks to Daniel's my son successfully passed his level two safety test, a milestone we attribute to Daniel's coaching. We also had an incredible experience with Coach Ivan last year with my oldest who is now 4. When Niko was 2 he started lessons with Ivan, we were impressed by his exceptional ability to connect with young children. Ivan's patient and encouraging demeanor immediately put Nikolai at ease, which was crucial for building his confidence in the water. He has a wonderful way of making the learning process fun and engaging, which kept Niko excited for every single lesson. Ivan's teaching methods are truly effective. He was incredibly supportive, always providing clear instructions and gentle guidance. We watched Nikolai's confidence grow with each session. Niko now swims confidently at our house and family and friends are always impressed with his abilities at such a young age. We are so thankful for the entire Watersafe Community and experience. The facility is well kept and clean. The front desk staff is so friendly and accommodating and always got back to me with no hesitation.

Yes. Pool is heated and they mostly teach in the indoor pool.

Which swim instructors would you highly recommend for a toddler?

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.

The instructors are very nice and polite, and my son completed 13 lessons. I tried to keep him with…read morethe same coach for consistency, but unfortunately, that coach missed a few sessions. Because of the limited availability of other instructors, I had to switch him to whoever was available. At one point, my son--who I believe is at a Level 2--was paired with a child who was on their very first lesson. I feel children should be grouped with others at the same skill level, as this impacts both learning pace and overall progress. Each time we switched instructors, the new coach essentially had to start over to get familiar with my son, which felt like a waste of both time and money. At this point, he is still unable to swim. I've reached the point where I'm now looking elsewhere for a private instructor. If your goal is for your child to truly learn how to swim, that may be the better route. In my experience, these programs can feel more focused on keeping you enrolled rather than ensuring real progress. When it comes to a child's safety, consistency and instructor availability are critical--and that's where this program falls short.

Ms. Christina is my son's instructor and she is AMAZING! We wanted an instructor who had a mix of…read moresoft and hard instruction and Ms. Christina has both. She gives my son the space to be a little kid learning something hard, but also keeps challenging him to go further than he did in the last class. And my son can have his own days where he doesn't want to be there and follow instructions and Ms. Christina is in control enough to keep the instruction going even though tough days. Plus all the teachers there are so supportive. If a teacher doesn't have a student yet, they often cheer my son on when he's with Ms. Christina. Also, if ever Ms. Christina isn't available, we've developed some great relationships with other teachers like Ms. Mila, and so we never feel he has to start from scratch just because his main teacher isn't.

Monica is incredibly patient and intentional in the way she teaches. I could clearly see her introducing new skills step by step, making sure he understood, and encouraging him the entire time. What stood out most was how engaged he was. He was completely attentive, listening closely, and genuinely excited to try what she was teaching him. It is amazing to watch his confidence grow in the water, and I truly believe Monica deserves a lot of credit for that. She takes her time, communicates clearly, and creates an environment where kids feel safe and motivated to improve. If you are looking for a swim instructor who is skilled, patient, and truly invested in her students' progress, Monica is outstanding. We are so grateful for her!

Our daughter was initially extremely afraid and apprehensive getting used to her head under water. She cried bloody murder the entire first week. It was admittedly very difficult having to hear her scream the entire 15 minutes, but trust the process! Alex was so good with her and earned her trust. By the end of the second Monday, she got out of the water and exclaimed how much she loved swimming. I was shocked! Something just clicked. Not only did she get over her fear of having her head in the water, she loved it. She was able to roll, float on her back, and kick within the second week. She spent the third week refining skills and feeling more comfortable under water. We are so incredibly proud of the progress she's made in such a short amount of time. And while we feel so much better about the skills she's picked up, nothing can beat the confidence and resilience she's built along the way. Thanks, Teacher Alex!

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. :)
