Frequently Asked Questions

Why does British Swim School start with survival skills?
British Swim School teaches children to roll to a float and find the wall before learning strokes because drowning is a leading cause of death in young children. These survival skills can be life-saving if a child accidentally falls into water.
Where are British Swim School lessons held?
Lessons are held at partner facilities like hotel pools, fitness centers, and apartment complex pools. This means water temperature, locker rooms, and overall environment vary by location. Ask about the specific pool before enrolling.
