British Swim School at LA Fitness - Lansdowne

"My 4yo daughter went from zero swimming ability to being able to freestyle/backstroke the entire length of the pool in less than 7 mos! We started out with once a week for the first month and gradually moved her to twice a week once she was out of the basic water safety classes. Her favorite instructors, by far, are Coach Rene and Coach Beth Ann! Both are super patient and just overall amazing with the little ones! Coach Rene will switch up teaching styles if he sees that the student is not grasping the lesson, which is great to see. Basically he will cater the instruction to your child so that your child is always progressing. He's very thorough (which I love) and super fun and energetic with the kids (which my daughter loves)! Coach Beth Ann has a very calming presence with the young kids. Very good at addressing fear of water in beginners. Clear instructions and very supportive attitude, which put my daughter at ease when she was just starting her swimming lessons! Amber is equally awesome when it comes to schedule changes and handling make-ups! She keeps things running smoothly for us! I love love love British Swim School and recommend them highly!"

"Very disappointing, my child went through multiple instructors. Not all instructors seemed comfortable working with kids. We found a great instructor, so we decided to switch our days and location to follow this instructor only for her hours to change. We take my daughter to class only to find that there was a new instructor. The issue is that no one told me she would have a new instructor after I expressed through email my frustration with the instructor we had and the only reason I didn't cancel previously was because her new instructor was good with kids. My daughters last swim session was a complete horror show, it appeared that the instructor was in training as he was receiving direction from another instructor. I sent them an email to British Swim inquiring about my daughter's initial instructor, at which point they told me her schedule had changed. I reminded them that the only reason my daughter was still attending was because of that instructor. I cancelled and said my child would not be attending her last three classes and asked for a partial refund, and they said no. Save your time and money. My daughter has been going here for about 5 months and she hates the water even more than when she started, she used to love going there and now she doesn't want to go."

"My kids love the instructors and their classes. My older kid was very nervous to learn with another school before and always hated the classes. Coaches here were adjusting the lessons to his pace and ease him into loving the classes. That was a huge change for us to see in our child, I sincerely thank the instructors - coach Philip and coach Rene."

"Maya, and the instructors, are always so helpful and friendly! They do their best to ensure a positive, and progressing, experience :)"
