Terrible experience booking missed sessions. I enrolled two kids, and their app is terrible. So…read morebuggy, so if you see two spots left for a time, and you book one child, the slot disappears from options. If you cancel your booking, BOTH open slots show up again. Same thing even if there are 3 slots opens. Their team is unhelpful with bookings, rude, and there is no refund policy. So if you paid in advance thinking you were going to get makeups, think again - most likely, you won't have slots opening up for you to book your makeups at a time that works for you. Especially not if you're stuck with having to book for two kids like me.

She started lessons (which take place at the LA Fitness in North Brunswick by the old A&P) when she was 14 months old in the Tadpole class. She used to be afraid of the bathtub and hated taking baths. Now, she loves splashing in the tub! Taking swim lessons at British Swim School eased her anxiety about the water. We belong to our local pool and she LOVES practicing her swim skills. Everywhere we go, everyone is amazed at how much she loves the water. Our instructors are super nice as well. Edwin really knows what he is doing and his team does such a good job of working with the babies one on one. We can't wait to start up swim lessons in September !

Part of the benefits of these lessons are that there aren't any other lessons going on at the same time. There are no distractions, just absolute focus from the instructor who also finds time to give the parent a brief check in at the end of the lesson and lots of positive affirmations for the student. I only wish we had tried their lessons sooner! The office staff is also very professional to speak with and keep you up to speed with any changes. The ability to choose the location of the lessons is also helpful as it keeps me out of the higher traffic areas of route 1. I would recommend Making Waves to anyone.

We settled on Big Blue in Watchung, knowing that this location in the Shoppes was coming. The Shoppes location did not disappoint. The initial on onboarding experience with Julia was everything it should have been - friendly, personal, accommodating. All the staff are amazing - friendly, warm, patient. Really patient. It takes a lot of patience to deal with kids as young as 4 months to 12 years old. Did I mention patient? Special shout out to Arushi - who is unfortunately no longer there - our son really came out of his shell with her. I would, and have, recommend everyone bring their kids swimming here. The facility is clean, the water is warm, and the memories are core.

We registered right after we did the trial class. The space looks spacious to start off with and looked organized from all fronts - right from the front desk, waiting parents who were at the gallery to the little kids on the different swim lanes. We found the coach Ms Kim very kids friendly and knowledgeable and the pool and showers to be clean. The parking is ample since it's attached to a shopping mall.

So far, this school has been so so. The facilities are lovely, except for the cleanliness - more…read moreabout that later. The instructors are generally nice except that the student to teacher ratio varies, where at times another instructor should be there, but is not. And on a per class basis, the cost seems a bit high(again, mostly due to the ratio). The real problem here is that the place is dirty. The showers are dirty. The lockers are dirty. The bathrooms are dirty. They never mop or clean. See photo. Look carefully. See all that nasty hair in the floor? The floors are like this ALL the time.

They do the same routine each time with no excitement or variety, just going through the motions. But what really bothered me, I have a fearful child who cannot swim (pandemic) and they pushed him to where he seemed to panic today and then told him he MUST do the skill next week. He left the lesson tearful and more afraid than he was when we went in. I am very concerned about continuing.

I took advantage of the free trial and I'm glad I did, because we will not be returning unfortunately. I'll start with the positives first, my 5 year old son looked like he had a good time. It was one swim instructor to about 3 children, and one by one she dealt with them, talking to them, while the others watched. He received googles during his time in the water, and overall looked like he was having a good experience. My 3 year old daughter on the other hand... was put in a lane that had two swim instructors, and four toddlers. Upon having both my children enter the water, I let the instructors know this was their very first time. My daughter's instructor asked me if it would be okay to dunk her which I appreciated, and I said if she is comfortable. That was all the positives for my daughter's experience. The two instructors talked to themselves the ENTIRE time. I do have all of this on video. I did not see my daughter receive any instruction. My daughter is very smart, and very brave, she watched what the other children were doing and copied them, but absolutely no instruction was given to her. Mind you, I'm sitting right in the front watching the whole thing!! You would think they would try just a smidge harder. Again, all of this is on video. When it came down to the dunking, my daughter was asked if she was okay going under, she said no. The instructor proceeded to dump water on her head, no explanation, no warning. My daughter was very confused, but she remained calm and kept wiping the water out her eyes. I'm so disappointed. Additionally, the other 5/6 swim instructors that did not have a class were talking so loudly amongst themselves, it was a very uncomfortable environment. Such a shame. I give an additional star only because my son's instructor was doing what she was supposed to do.
