British Swim School

Our goal is to help each swimmer develop the skills and confidence needed to become strong, independent swimmers. Here’s what you can expect as each student progresses through our program:

Each level in our swim program is designed to build upon the previous one. Every level includes five core skills. These skills are further broken down into sub-skills, allowing students to gradually develop and perfect each technique. We get so excited when our students complete a sub-skill because they are progressing towards mastering the main skill!

On average, students take 3 to 5 months to move through each level when they attend class once a week. However, if the student attends classes twice a week, they typically progress faster. This is because more frequent practice helps reinforce techniques and ensures that the student retains the skills they are learning.

Before moving on to the next level, we focus on mastering all five skills within the current level. Mastery is essential, as it ensures each student is fully comfortable with the basics before taking on more advanced skills.

Once the student has demonstrated mastery in all five core skills, we enter the next phase of their development. This phase focuses on building confidence and consistency, which are just as important as the skills themselves. A confident swimmer is more likely to excel and enjoy their time in the pool, not to mention recall those skills in any emergency situation surrounding water.

We want to keep you informed every step of the way in the swimming journey. Our dedicated deck team closely monitors each student's progress and will notify you when ready to advance to the next level. We maintain detailed notes to ensure all our instructors are aligned and aware of each swimmer’s progress. Not to mention, we will update and notify you each time a skill is met or a new update has been made.

That said, we are here for you at any time! If you have questions or would like to discuss progress, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our deck team. We are happy to assist in any way we can.

We’re thrilled to support each of our swimmers through every step of their journey, and we can’t wait to celebrate each milestone with you along the way!
