British Swim School at 24 Hour Fitness - San Mateo Super Sport 93 Bovet Road, San Mateo, CA 94402

"British Swim school is amazing and the instructors here are awesome. Ms. Rose is a constant and makes everyone feel welcome. We highly recommend this place for all age groups. My kid loves it here :)"

"Great place to learn how to swim. Our daughter has made great progress over the years, and our son is now starting. BSS does a great job of working on water safety as well as twchnoque. EJ and George are outlet kids favorite instructors, and Rosemary is great about being in touch about progress and checking in with parents."

"I agree with a lot of reviews here. The teachers at British Swim School are caring but do come with varying degree of experience. Rosemary the manager at this location is great and we love her, however the number of kids in a class make it tough for kids to make quick progress. I have been keeping a track of the number of minutes my kid spend per class and it’s total of 6 minutes out of 25 minutes per class (last 5 minutes is play time) while she just sits out of the pool shivering rest of the time since there are 4 kids each class each instructor and there is only 1 kid allowed in the pool at a time at lower levels. Also, Rosemary tries real hard to let each instructor know what the child needs help with - but I don’t see it being consistently told since there are lot of kids across multiple class at one time. Also I don’t see the kid getting more time practicing the skill that they are struggling with. For example, my kid is in Minnow (one of the levels) and she has been struggling with something called as Torpedo and she literally spends 1 minute out of 6 minutes (2 turns, sometimes 1) that she is in the pool practicing this skill. With this pace, any kid will take up to a year to graduate from a class. If you are attending 1x per week at $250 per month - you are spending up to $3,000 to learn basics. I don’t think it helps with multiple classes per week either considering how the classes are set up."

"My 4y/o child attends group classes at British Swim School at 24 Hour Fitness-San Mateo 3 times a week. All of the Starfish swim instructors are wonderful with the kids, excellent teachers, fun and patient. My child, who is highly anxious and has fear of water, really loves his swim lessons and George is his favorite swim teacher. I highly recommend British Swim School at 24 Hour Fitness-San Mateo to my neighbors."

"This review is for the staff at the San Mateo location. My child started the program as a toddler and she continues to enjoy being in the water and learning today. My child’s teachers are absolute professionals when it comes to working with children of all learning styles. My child’s teachers are caring and they always provide support with me on my child’s progress. The staff really know each child’s goals, comfort level and swim profile and I truly appreciate the consistency in their teaching with each lesson. My child continues to improve and it is all thanks to the supportive staff of San Mateo."
